We live in a city, but it's in a county classified as "rural." Only one case so far, but Infection is only as far away as a sneeze, cough, or breath. Population density is low here, which is a big potential benefit. We also have a large variety of big food stores: three Fry's, three Safeways, three Walmarts, two Sprouts--all within a five mile radius of each other--plus Costco and Trader Joe. People are hoarding, and some shelves are bare. But, so far, we've been able to get most of what we need.

I pray for everyone. I'm especially concerned about workers in bars, restaurants and small businesses who are out of work, and even more concerned with brave people who have to work in stores, hospitals and medical offices, to serve the rest of us.
