What is the history of the “Rural Policy Research Institute”

Who funds it and who funds “The National Rural Health Association”?

You are posting from the hill.

Do you understand this is a political fight for freedom?

I used to like your bicycle posts.

Let us all just put a hold on everything. This movement is way to fast. Trust is out the window.

My rural, yet on the interstate, county of 24,000 has had 53 deaths since covid came around. We’re well on the down slope of Delta in Missouri.

That sounds easy to say, hard to prove.

A rural county could have less than 4000 people, compared to an urban county of 250,000 to 3,000,000 people, so twice the rate would still be small.

And are we talking cases or deaths?

It can’t be excluded that summer is when urban people go see their rural relatives, or visit more rural states on vacations, church camps, youth camps, etc. From the Petito missing person’s case, we know that Yellowstone and surrounding campsites were at overflow status. August rise would point to July start.

You do know your excerpt can be more than one sentence to add more context right? Something like this?

A study released this month found that the rates of COVID-19 cases and deaths in rural areas have far surpassed those being observed in metropolitan communities, with rural mortality rates more than double that of urban ones.

The study from the Rural Policy Research Institute's (RUPRI) Center for Rural Health Policy found that as the summer ended, the coronavirus infection and mortality rates of rural and urban communities began to diverge.

RUPRI noted in its study that the initial surges of COVID-19 cases at the start of the pandemic were largely concentrated in urban areas. Subsequent surges saw increases in both urban and rural parts of the U.S.

RUPRI? What's that?

The virus hit the cities first and hardest. Now it’s moved on to the countryside. Epidemics are like that.
