Look at state-wide restrictions. Effectively every state has them and they cover our large cities as well as rural regions. You can see a very rough overview here in one of our major papers: https://www.usatoday.com/storytelling/coronavirus-reopening-america-map/ https://www.usatoday.com/storytelling/coronavirus-reopening-... The degree of the response varies. Most states have a program to close “non-essential” commercial and public indoor spaces or limit inhabitants. Masks are typically required indoors. In rural areas you’ll see lower compliance rates, but also fewer outbreaks due to the lower population density and fewer social opportunities. It is technically closer to nothing than a very aggressive lockdown, though, even though that does not make for an effective study of no response. US residents have not been forbidden from leaving their homes.
