“Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” Isaac Asimov

Clusters. It's interesting to look at the WaPo virus map

Because it shows cases per county based on population. Forget the number of cases, but what percentage of people in a county are positive. How widespread is it in that county based on population. It's interesting. You see counties scattered all across the country where the virus is far more widespread. Dodge City has more virus cases per population than NYC. A county in rural Tennessee has 12% infected and testing positive. Over three times the rate of NYC.
If you look at these largely rural counties with the largest outbreaks (per population) then Google each county you usually find the outbreak there is due to either a meat packing plant or a prison. The other area where large clusters developed are in churches. Large groups of people in enclosed places, and singing. 2 funerals in Albany Georgia caused 1200 cases.
Wherever people gather in enclosed places. Does not look good for arena events like indoor concerts or football/basketball games.
