I wonder which one the author lives in, big city or town? I would think most people feel safest where they live so I can understand why one would feel safer no matter where they call home. I can also see how once herd immunity takes hold how you might think it is safer, but what a terrible price is required achive it. I actually live outside a small town/city < 10K and can tell you people are taking this pandemic seriously. I live next to a highway and the amount of passenger vehicle traffic is down in my estimate 90%. I had to go into town yesterday to pick up a prescription and the streets were empty. I think there may be some truth to the argument for greater public services being offered in big cities than small towns, including hospitals but what happens if during this pandemic another disaster occurs? Small towns and their citizens are generally prepared to spend long periods of time isolated from others because they don't have as many of the supports offered in large cities, this creates almost an immunity to dependence of these services. When I lived in Vancouver we had a unusual cold snap and snow event and I watched the news as people were fighting over rock salt, others were hoarding it and price gouging their neighbours. It was no surprise when the toilet paper rush occured, these things are happening while the supply chain is still functioning, what would happen in Vancouver if an earthquake or major flood took out the transportation network? Living in a herd is generally safer until things go bad, then you better hope your not one of the weak lest you get trampled.
