Can you provide any specific reasons why a large group of people can't fight the virus in a similar way to multiple smaller groups of people?

- zdragnar 6y agoPopulation density, primarily. More dense means more close contact, and more contact overall comparing areas with public transit to those without. Not to mention the human toll of quarantine- I live surrounded by a few hundred acres of forest, my cousin in a studio apartment. My daily life has hardly changed since I also work from home. She lives in or near paris, I think, and couldn't go 10 feet past her apartment door without a permit, and mostly got that only for groceries. Even still, she managed to catch it (or a similar disease, since she was refused testing). Some people on HN love to hate on rural life, but I honestly wouldn't have it any other way.
