Most of us rural folks don't do all that much mixing in the best of times.
Most of the cases we had in my county came from Atlanta. Folks who traveled or went to work there brought it back. The strange thing here is our county hospital has been either laying off health workers and cutting hours back on their medical staff. My son-in-law works as a nurse there. Visits to the emergency room is down by at least 2/3rds and routine medical visits there have almost completely ceased.
It seems everyone is too scared to go to the hospital out of fear of catching the virus. Talked to my family doctor the other day, she said she is seeing only about half the normal load of her patients. Again fear of catching the virus in the doctor's office.
seems, at least down here, routine and regular medical visits for things like colds, flu, X-rays, medicine refills, exams, etc. and other services have become a thing of the past. Or at least until the virus goes away.
Our Dentist and our eye doctor's offices have been closed since the start of this thing. Took the dogs to the vet last week for their shots, but the vet wouldn't allow anyone to come inside. He took the dogs and did his thing while we waited in the car. At least the dogs got their shots.
