Rural America is experiencing 'disaster gentrification' as wealthy Covid-19 evacuees from the hotspot cities flock to the relative safety of picturesque towns. In Blaine County Idaho, home to Sun Valley ski resort, more than half of the houses are rental properties. As of yesterday 228 had tested positive for the disease, around 10 percent of its population. 'People come here from all over the world,' ER doctor Brent Russell told the Idaho Statesman. 'When I'm in the ER, I get people from New York, Washington D.C., San Francisco, Seattle. Every week there's people from those places.

Agreed. We live in such a place. People used to just make fun of us for having such a cold climate with practically no one living here. I used to thank them for their compliments and asked them to tell all their friends back home what a shithole this place is.
My husband and I are also assholes, and also quite like all of those points. However, we don’t want to burden TN with two more Illinoisans. We’re not assholes that big.
The Dakotas are looking nice about now. Maybe Idaho or Nebraska. Wyoming would be ideal, but land is out of our price range. After that, we’d need to build, which we can’t afford.
A girl can dream.
The map works with a more secure browser with some of the scripts enabled. They flew into the states, by the way, not over them. About a couple of weeks ago, most of the first cases in the middle Midwestern states came with travel to and from the northeastern states.

Yep.
Some of the numbers on that map are not up to date.
Them F-9’ers ... yup, them’s the worst. We got nothing to look at here except Amish farms on the other side of the county. And trailer factories. And Mount Trashmore. I don’t expect to see any gentry out here.
Bunch of summer immigrants from Illinois, Ohio, and Michigan clog the TVA lakes with jet skis, massive powerboats, and general distain for local customs, I am always glad for the post. Labor Day return to quiet.
Yeah I almost got run over by some car with NY Plates. High dollar Mercedes. Guess not familiar with % pop here who carry.
“Like rats off a sinking ship. The trouble is, these rats will carry the virus with them.”
Yes.
Send them back to their penthouses. “We don’t much care fer yer type ‘round here.”
And they’ll need all their immunizations. We have the WORST cooties!
“Not to mention the F-9 twisters....that roll thru here...”
An F-9?! That’s bad!
Not nearly as bad as an F-12 - but still pretty bad...

We are talking about fellow AMERICAN citizens here right? I can’t believe we’re talking about roadblocks and restricting people from going to additional homes they own or preventing them from renting available residential properties. We’re talking about sheriffs violating people with out of county plates and similar stuff like that.
This is breathtaking. I wonder if this greatest nation in history isn’t already utterly destroyed.
I may just have tad to the anti-chamber of commerce dissertation
Perhaps slightly modified for gentler tastes
Don’t be fooled this is a propaganda piece designed to push a one size uniform policy in other words a shut down country. The message: “see you cannot have some parts of the country open because people will flock there”.
Thank you. And pushing us to hate one another ain’t a bad side benefit as far as they’re concerned.
