If the demographics for Rodeo, NM were available and accurate, it would become apparent that a couple of cases of C-19 could wipe out the town. Only about 60 people left, NONE of them below high school age, nearly all above 65. Nearest clinic at least 25 miles, and transportation is rare.
If the virus wipes out the town, not likely anybody will notice, including the residents.
Of course, WE will notice, since there will be nobody left to run the post office. More than a few towns like Rodeo on the maps, but we will just have to await developments. LOTS of dead towns up and down the tracks that are not missed much, either.
Change is universal and relentless....Joe

Still not one person...I wonder am I just a hermit?
None in my community. I touch based with a lot of local old timers who taught me just how to make do a they did in years gone by.

I think by the end of the year most of us will probably know someone who had it. Probably not our best friend or a relative in most cases, but someone you know well enough to claim you know them.
I just read an article (well, the first paragraph before I gave up) that said we will all know someone who died from it. That's just ridiculous. It's possible, but so far out there as to not be taken seriously.

I don't know of any one in particular, but now there are 20 cases as of today in our small Village. It looks like a ghost town. Very eerie, much worse than the "Birds" movie!!! how many have died in your small village so far?

One person died from the CP Nursing home. That’s one too many in my eyes. As a Village, we seem to be doing the very best we can. The good has come out of so many people...restaurants donating dinners & lunches to the hospital workers & Doctors offices, front line people.
The elderly have food delivery for free to them by an organization formed by one person here. She personally delivers food to them, but now has many volunteers to help her. There’s a lot of good that I see, coming from something so bad. Of course our Church has a food bank & wow, so many people need food & other essentials now.
Deep breath and many prayers🙏

We spoke with son yesterday. He said his wife and her sister both still had a cough. They have to be retested Tuesday. Have to test negative two weeks in a row to be cleared to go out. He is still fine. He thinks he had it back in February . When things settle down he is going to get blood serum test to confirm that. His father in law is a doctor so maybe sooner.

Still no, I do not know anyone! Even family in New York are healthy Friends in fl.&philly&Boston &texas. It's still only about 1 in 620 in the U.S. that have been diagnosed with it so far. I wouldn't say I know 620 people. Probably 200-ish. Even in NY, it's less than 1 in 100. Still growing. Of those places, I'd keep an eye on TX and FL. They haven't seen their worst yet. Also, since up to 50% are asymptomatic, you can't really know you don't know someone who had it. Maybe eventually you will, depending on how widespread the antibody testing ends up being, and assuming people share that info with people they know if they find out they had it.

1% of Alaska and a shade more have been tested.. Heard %wise we are leading the country.
@jtb, well I do know lots of people in my state and 50% of my little community... There's 777of us here and I was selling eggs had 800 chickens and I am known as the egg lady here. Once the word got out folks would call as I had the legal cartons with the mandated phone number and address and name.

You're not leading the country on testing but you're above average. Around #15 of the states. But 1% is still quite low, and only shows who has it at the time of the test. There are likely a lot of people who had it without ever knowing. Maybe even the egg lady.
And of course more people will continue to get it. The exponential growth in new cases has stopped in most if not all of the hot spots, but they're still adding many thousands of new cases every day. It's just that the number of new cases per day has stabilized and even started to decline. But Texas and Florida are still adding more new cases every day than they added the day before. Probably several other states, too, but those are two I'm watching.
But Alaska may very well fare better than much of the rest of the country. No big cities, fewer roads between cities, and a lot of people spread out to places where you don't go to town several times a week. You're more likely to know someone from elsewhere that had it or will get it.
