The areas that are not social distancing are low population states. If NY, CA, LA, FL, etc had not started social distancing and shut things down ~4 weeks ago, and we'd all just gone around as normal, I can easily believe many multiples of the current stats.
What matrix are you using for this? Our state got an A but one county west of here on the SD border got an F because they didn't greatly reduce the amount of driving...a very, very rural county. In a county like that almost all jobs are considered essential. Very little general retail, little or no restaurants, or gyms, etc. ...if a service isn't considered essential most likely they don't have it.
I expect the traffic in our county to ramp up significantly in the next month.Seed trucks, fuel trucks, repair trucks. etc. I'm 14.5 miles from the nearest WalMart and have put less than 60 miles on my car in the last 3 weeks. ...
Certainly some people are not SD, but I wonder why the low population states are getting pointed out.
