[QUOTE="Eltab, post: 8022821, member: 6803337"] Using Indiana as a model, the rural counties could very well be tested fully (somebody in every household, if not every individual), infected individuals quarantined and the healthy released, using the resources now available - also in effect building cordon lines around the cities / counties with the most cases. Much like the plan described a few pages back. One rural county near me had single-digit total cases into May, while the urban counties report hundreds each. But Good luck finding a medical expert and/or a responsible politician and/or ranking bureaucrat who will stand in front of cameras / microphones to tell the city-dwellers they get taken care of second. And another thought: the virus has found its way into the "YOU are not the boss of ME!" subculture(s). It's going to have to burn through them, because no amount of telling them ... well, anything ... is going to change what they decide they want to do. I'm ticked that the rest of us are going to have to hear lots of very earnest scolds going on and on about what people ought to do but are not actually doing. And in the social climate of the last few weeks, good luck with "We're going to call the police if you don't..." [/QUOTE]
