After reading about the Kansas rural community's coronavirus outbreak

I have lived in a small town in Mt. Shasta California off and on from 1976 until 1992 so I understand the dynamics of a small town. This summer my son and his family met me in Mt. Shasta because we hadn't seen each other since Christmas 2019 because he and his family live in Portland, Oregon. My daughter who is 24 I haven't seen now since February 2019 by the way.

This summer my son who has a bachelor's degree in Nursing with honors from one of the California State universities walked into a Subway in Mt. Shasta to get sandwiches for his family. But, when he started to walk in he noticed that "NO ONE INCLUDING THE PEOPLE WORKING THERE WERE WEARING MASKS". Since he is a trained Nurse he just walked back out again because it was so full of people that he knew it would be dangerous to walk into this place with no one wearing a mask there.

This is NORMAL for many country towns by the way throughout the U.S. not just in California but throughout the U.S.

So, mass die offs out in the country further from the news outlets and information in general should be expected. However, now this is getting ridiculous in a really terrible way in the midwest and south of the U.S. especially.

There are many other factors going on here though that should be recognized.

People in these mostly ALL white or nearly all white small towns all across the U.S. are often very isolated into their own reality that doesn't take in the realities of the rest of the world which makes them extremely vulnerable (whether they want to be or not) to things exactly like the coronavirus.

So, we should expect incredible amounts of carnage in small towns across America for at least the next 6 months or so. 

Unfortunately, this is true. But, hopefully these small towns will get terrified enough by so many dying and getting sick that they majorly change their basic behaviors. I don't know what happens next other than a whole lot of people dying out in the country here in the U.S.

However, this same thing is happening in various countries worldwide, especially places like Brazil where the president there is using coronavirus as a way of killing off the South American Native Americans as much as possible.

In the same way Trump is killing off his supporters too which seems sort of suicidal in a mass sense for me to observe and it's very difficult to watch like lemmings jumping off of cliffs and all drowning en masse.
