The WV thing, keeping people out, is fine, but it's not going to change the future.  Rural areas will get hit hard, just on a delay.  Yes, jack-wagons from NYC may infect some in WV, but it's going to happen either way.  
.
A great (horrible) example that's on a fast-forward timeline is the Navajo reservation.  You couldn't find a more isolated place.  BUT - probably 80% of the adult males work down in Phoenix/Mesa (or elsewhere) and go back home every week or two.  Bringing that virus up with them - a SUPER isolated place that isn't on the way to anywhere, is now inundated with cases.
.
It's a fast-forwarded timeline because they go to the big city and back like clockwork, on a schedule.  
.
The people in tiny towns in WV or WY or ND are going to see the cities start to improve (eventually) and start "going to town" for doctor visits or a big grocery trip or whatever and bring it back to their small town with them.  As the cities improve, the rural will flare.  It's a (sad) certainty.

I'm not quoted phrasing anything you can go stay with the New Yorkers - those that don't seem to want play by the rules in Florida or WV that was pointed out by two different posters.That you feel the need to dress me down for pointing it out .Put your PC to work and those rose colored glasses on ignore the problem and by all means hammer on.SMDH
I shoulda been clearer, the quoted phrasing referred to the term “vernacular bitchery.” I felt that was uncalled for.

But for the sake of civility, I should not have dressed you down for calling millions of folks cocksuckers and human pollutants. A man should not be contradicted on such things.

I made it through diff eq back in the day, never had a use for it really.
Many never get to Calculus. After Calculus, I still had to take multivariate calculus, differential equations, and linear algebra. 

I don't use any of it. But I'm not sad I went through it, honestly...

I got as far as calc 3. Ran into the issue of not wanting to study something that was going to carry me through all that. Also seeing the future Drs and engineers slice through the science classes that were making my semesters unpleasant.

When I took that test to steer you into the correct math class in college, it recommended Business Calculus.
I was like "F that" and took algebra, lol.  My ability exceeded my desire, to be sure.

What is "Business Calculus"?

I have friends that live in small towns and rural areas of Minnesooota that are coming to Iowa to play golf

not much risk, but always some

doubt they will be checked by local courses

also, I drove 4 1/2 hours across the state of Iowa to pickup a trailer for work - purchased new

I will be going to Cedar Rapids either yet this week or next week to pickup a fiber splicing trailer purchased new for the company

I found a similar trailer in Indiana for over $2,000 less, but the boss didn't want me driving to Indiana to pick it up.  Crossing state lines and all.

I got out of the truck to purchase gas and use the restroom once.  I signed the paper in the trailer manufacturer's office.  Stopped at a subway sammich shop for food.  That was it for over 9 hours of travel.

Yup, Calculus, DiffEQ, Vector Calc, and Matrices and Linear Algebra. 

If I were designing radar antennae they'd all be quite useful.  As it is, I still enjoyed the theory.

I'll never forget, though, when I learned that I could use a transform and simple algebra to solve in the frequency domain, problems that called for differential equations in the time domain.  I was actually pissed and almost walked out of class that day.
