yah, what we need is martial law in flyover country.

Key observations:
* So far, the greatest clusters of the disease, and the most aggressive responses to it, have indeed been centered in a few large, Democratic-leaning metropolitan areas, including Seattle, New York, San Francisco, and Boston.
* On the case-tracking website maintained by Johns Hopkins University’s Center for Systems Science and Engineering, each of the four states with the largest number of coronavirus cases is a Democratic-leaning place along the coast: New York, Washington, California, and New Jersey.
* Florida, a coastal, internationally oriented state that leans slightly toward the GOP, ranks fifth. Illinois, Louisiana, Massachusetts, and Texas, each with at least one big urban center that functions as a gateway for tourism and trade, come in next.
* With only a few exceptions, the states with the fewest number of confirmed cases are smaller, Republican-leaning ones between the coasts, with fewer ties to diverse populations and the global economy. That list includes Wyoming, Idaho, Missouri, Montana, South Dakota, Oklahoma, and Kansas.
Our county declared a SOE which placed the cops from three separate multiplicities under the Sheriff’s office.
Those city cops are now patrolling the rural areas and there’s a much higher LEO visibility. Along with that there seems to be a higher rate of traffic infractions being cited.
It’s like the county knows a lock-down is going to cause revenue to fall so their working overtime to fill the coffer as much as possible.
