Abstract / Description

As society we put a lot of prisons in rural communities to create jobs. the prison is largely staffed by people who live in these rural communities. As people travel from their homes to work, to stores and to church, it's likely that SARS-CoV-2 will travel along with them. Rural communities don't have the medical services to deal with what is coming. (author introduction)
