Covid-19 spike in New York is ‘just a preview’ of what’s coming

poor uneducated buck toothed hick , urban areas created the wealth and rural flyover country was already dying with hospital closures

Coronavirus Threatens Rural Hospitals

Well before the COVID-19 threat, rural health care's profitability had collapsed nationwide due to a combination of narrowing Medicare reimbursements, a larger share of patients lacking high-paying private insurance and the hollowing out of rural America. Given such pressures, more than 120 rural hospitals have been forced to close over the past decade.

Those hospitals in small-town America that have survived rely heavily on moneymakers such as elective surgeries, physical therapy and lab tests to make their razor-thin margins work. But, according to the Chicago-based Chartis Center for Rural Health, almost half of them still operate in the red.

Jesus H. Christ, RB...you live in fucking Pennsylvania. You do not live in rural America any more than someone who lives in the less congested areas of Brooklyn or Queens.

No need to cuss at me Frank, I didn't really want to get your panties in a wad. I DO live in rural PA. which is part of rural America. You know, I'm part of the...deplorables

I have driven through some very rural parts of Pennsylvania. Are there any states which do not have rural areas?

[Controlled Opposition]

It is amazing how much Republicans hate major sections of America.

What is amazing is how much stereotyping you are doing.

[Walt]

Closest major city is almost 3 hours away by car.

Green Bay is an hour and a half away from Wausau. Are you sure you have ever been there? You do not seem to know much about the place.

[Walt]

If "the crops fail" do you think you will be better off in a city?

Yes. A subsistence farmer can only eat his own crops. I am a modern civilized person who buys from many sources. I could care less if one particular area goes through crop failure.

You'll be dead long before me. Sucks to be you, doesn't it Mr. Master's Degree

None of us know the time of our deaths, nor the time of someone else's death. You may well be dead now, while Guno may live for 50 more years.

Green Bay is an hour and a half away from Wausau. Are you sure you have ever been there? You do not seem to know much about the place.

Green Bay isnt even CLOSE to being a major city...LOL I told you Wausau wasnt close to a major city,... and its not. You dont seem to know what you are talking about.

[Stone]

Green Bay...Population 110,000. That is by NO MEANS a major city you goof ball.

[volsrock]

The problem with living in rural isolation is you would lose access to modern medicine. And you would lose the ability to get food if your crops failed. And you would have to live a stone age lifestyle. I could go on and on, but you get the point. It would noticeably decrease your life expectancy.

A lot of people in NYC wish they were in rural America right now

A lot of people in NYC wish they were in rural America right now

Including Walt it would seem...LOL

[Frank Apisa]

I have driven through some very rural parts of Pennsylvania. Are there any states which do not have rural areas?

NO. There are no states that do not have rural areas.

New Jersey where I live has rural areas. New York has rural areas.

But there is no fucking way that anyone from New York or New Jersey or Pennsylvania should be talking shit like: "You bastards won't stay home, you spread your disease all over the place. Then you blame Trump for allowing you to. Keep your scum in your cities, we don't want you or your disease out here in rural America."

If that doesn't make sense to you...fine.

A lot of people in NYC wish they were in rural America right now

Yep, and they're trying to escape the shithole and come to Florida.

[Controlled Opposition]

NO. There are no states that do not have rural areas.

New Jersey where I live has rural areas. New York has rural areas.

But there is no fucking way that anyone from New York or New Jersey or Pennsylvania should be talking shit like: "You bastards won't stay home, you spread your disease all over the place. Then you blame Trump for allowing you to. Keep your scum in your cities, we don't want you or your disease out here in rural America."

If that doesn't make sense to you...fine.

"You bastards?" I live in suburban Seattle. Frank, take a paper map, or look at Pennsylvania on Google Earth.
