This probably somewhat explains why people in rural and suburban areas are quick to dismiss it as a hoax. None of what you seen is present outside of coastal American cities.
I vacationed in rural Wisconsin this summer. Felt like every other summer I spent there.
I think it was a mistake to lockdown many states in March that didn't really have a large number of infections. They spent 2-3 months lockdown for a virus that didn't really exist in their world yet. They formed their opinion that it was FRAUDVIRUS at that time. And aren't reevaluating now that they are finally getting their huge wave.
- subsubzero 6y agoAgree, its why at the time a national lockdown made little sense(early March/April timeframe). Britain did that and its GDP dropped 20%. Now in the US the virus is running rampant due to increased spread, lower humidity and colder weather so will have to see what Biden does in the coming months but I expect a nationwide mask mandate at the very least and probably 1-2 months of the entire country under a strict lockdown. And this is with a vaccine somewhat widely available.
- pgodzin 6y agoMaybe a mistake in hindsight, but part of the point was the we simply didn't know which parts of the country did and didn't have a large number of infections and couldn't afford to have several more New Yorks.
