So you have all these social-distance shaming of rural communities, but movement/mobility looks very different depending on your population density. I'm sure this is so obvious that it's figured in the models, but I don't really hear anyone talking about it.

One only has to look at that ignorant grading scale website to realize the creators don't understand rural areas or didn't adjust it accordingly.
