The Worst Virus Outbreaks in the U.S. Are Now in Rural Areas

Most of the worst virus outbreaks in the U.S. right now are in rural areas.

Earlier peaks saw the virus concentrated in cities and suburbs, but the current surge is hitting remote areas that often lack a hospital or other critical health care resources. https://t.co/V0zJhRtl4O

Note: Rural areas are those counties located outside of metropolitan areas, as defined by the United States Department of Agriculture’s Economic Research Service. They may include small cities and towns.

Graph I copy below from the article doesn't copy with text. This is what is missing:

Left edge is March 1, right edge is Oct. 20; blue line is metro areas, orange line is rural areas.

More graphs and maps in the article than these 2.

BREAKING—US sets another new record of 83,000 #COVID19 cases in a single day. This comes after 77,000 cases were reported the day before (itself the highest ever). Smashing the previous record just a day later is insane!

This is only getting worse. 100k/day possible soon. pic.twitter.com/9vyUGN3OSk

Under-reporting COVID cases & deaths follow a decision by Dr. Deborah Birx to privatize COVID-19 data collection from the CDC to a Pittsburgh company that uses a platform built by Peter Thiel's Palantir. Thiel is close to Trump. https://t.co/Rv2w9oxRxb
