If they come for the isolation they should isolate themselves in rural America just like they would in the Urban one, re. hospital capacity - if the amount of refugees will be so significant so as to overwhelm rural hospitals by itself then the urban hospitals would already be over capacity so the overall population risk should still be reduced.
The rural environment is more protective to the extent it reduces density and contact, its hospital capacity is not inherently reserved for the local population any more than the city hospitals are reserved for the city residents and if other arrangements are in place incoming people should be advised and take it into their calculations. Combined with the general effort to bend the curve the ability to wear- level geographically is a plus not a minus. Frankly I'm surprised there aren't massive medical airtrains being planned to carry patients from overwhelmed hospitals to more coping ones.
