(1) The disease effects -- at least to this point -- are concentrated in blue cities (NYC, Detroit, Seattle, New Orleans, Atlanta, even Albany, GA, etc.) & (2) the economic effects are harder in rural red areas b/c you can't work from home if you're not in the knowledge economy.

As to the economic effects, you are right only in the short run. If the world is heading into a 1929-style economic crisis, it is the middle class, especially white collar professionals, which will be hit hardest. Rural areas may not even see a great spike in unemployment at all.

Travel across the county line to Richmond Co you see everything is just dead. In Columbia its not much different except new barriers and markers. Richmond Co has 44 cases, Columbia has 27. So you are right Sean and we don't know the fallout

My experience is that people living in the same types of areas are largely driven by partisanship ... how do Rs concern re COVID compare to concern re Ebola in 2014?

I think that's part of it but I also think people on the right just have more of a worldview of I'm not going to let something like this stop me from living my life than people on the left. and they are also more bothered by the idea of the government confining them to their home

For ppl who live rural/suburban lives, distancing may be easier. Where it goes bad is in areas where it tips over into denial. In rural America, ppl come together for church and social events and they are poorly served by understaffed hospitals.
