~~~if anyone knows what’s going on in Randolph County, GA or in Lincoln County, AR — (Prisons? Indian reservations?) — I’d appreciate local info.~~~
Lincoln County is where Cummins Prison is located.
An outbreak of the virus in the last week or so has escalated more than I like to think about, since I live a few miles down the road!

Randolph county Georgia is very close to Albany. Very rural heavily black population. Albany concentrates the population...aaand they refuse to practice social distancing. Look at statistical number of aids cases over time and the areas correlate.
The other hotspot in Georgia is west of Atlanta. Guess wht characteristics they share with Albany?
