      At some point, the debate on reopening has to take account of the fact that most of the country has neither the caseload nor the population density of the Northeast Corridor.pic.twitter.com/YO6in26I3k

      Look at Michigan and the surrounding areas of the Upper Midwest. Even if you switch to per capita measures - which miss the extent to which population density is itself part of the issue - you can see why there are tensions over applying policies on a statewide basis.pic.twitter.com/L6CNUca0QZ

          In Michigan, the percentage of positive tests is around 16%. In the Western UP, that number is less than 1%. To be sure, fewer tests have been run per capita in the UP, but one would think that those tests would have been administered to those evidenced the most symptoms.

          I’m pretty sure the hospitals are not being overrun. Which was the whole f’n point of lockdowns. Extinguishing a virus is impossible.

          No, it’s not impossible. You reduce the R0 to less than 1 and keep it there long enough and the virus extinguishes.

          You're not wrong, but you also need to look at medical capacity in those low population areas. See below from Detroit News.https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/local/michigan/2020/05/11/rural-michigan-residents-press-regional-reopening-plan/3085804001/?fbclid=IwAR3s7c_sB08Yfy5I_fbik5h5a8UNGgK72iSGWKk5mrG4dhrXODhKR-PmJBo …

          Yes... but Michigan is also a state where a huge part of the culture is leaving the cities and suburbs for the weekend to head to the rural areas and northern campgrounds. Tho, yes, this means the rural communities esp are suffering economically now...

          A robust testing strategy from the federal government is probably the only way real way to apply the right policies on a statewide basis. If only the Trump administration was interested in doing what is necessary.

          lol looking at the whole map with per capita measures completely negates your point.

          My point that population density is not uniform?
