    This Atlantic article says nobody thinks about COVID in the author's small town. I wondered if that were really true. I live in a small town, and plenty of people think about it. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2021/12/where-i-live-no-one-cares-about-covid/620958/ …pic.twitter.com/BAVkIm5cPd

        A few seconds on Google told me his town was Three Rivers, in southwestern MI, pop'n 7,659 in 2019. It's an exurb of Kalamazoo with a weirdly high crime rate (lots of meth, I'm guessing).pic.twitter.com/Dp8vjn4g3w

        Does nobody think about COVID there? Well, 2 months ago so many school staff were sick that the schools had to go remote: https://wwmt.com/news/local/staffing-shortages-cause-remote-learning-at-three-rivers-schools … Kinda bet that some of the parents there were thinking about COVID.

        This was because the local health dept. (Branch-Hillsdale-St. Joseph Community Health Agency) ordered anyone who is a student or employed by the schools or local gov't who has COVID or was w/i 6 feet of somebody w/ COVID to be quarantined for 14 days: https://www.threeriversnews.com/local-news/bhsj-issues-quarantine-order-guidelines-covid-19-close-contacts …

        A lot of people are affected by that order. The economic stats are confusing, but it looks like about a quarter of the town was covered by them. Probably they are thinking about COVID.

        Three Rivers has a typically bad COVID history. The high school was completely virtual for last year until spring break. Then it opened up, got hit with the biggest public-school outbreak in the state, and went back to virtual.https://wwmt.com/news/i-team/i-team-michigan-schools-experience-post-spring-break-surge-of-covid-19-outbreaks …

        In August, enough people were thinking about COVID there that Michigan sent in the National Guard to help with testing: https://www.michigan.gov/coronavirus/0,9753,7-406--536575--rss,00.html …

        Just a couple days ago, the local health dept. (the Branch-Hillsdale-St. Joseph Community Health Agency, if your recall) asked everyone in Three Rivers who had traveled to Grand Rapids, where the omicron variant has popped up, to get tested:https://wtvbam.com/2021/12/10/253231/ …

        It's hard from a distance to get a feel for what people are thinking, and I'm sure the author believes his family and friends don't think about COVID, but enough people in his county put on masks and social distanced that it had a low flu season last year:https://www.thedailyreporter.com/story/news/2021/11/19/concerns-rise-flu-and-covid-19-vaccinations/8666482002/ …

        Seems like he could have mentioned some of this stuff in his article about what people in his town are thinking about COVID, no?

        This is typical of rural conservatives. They can’t see outside their isolated community. They genuinely think their existence is representative, because they literally never encounter anything else.
