The sentiment was everywhere. Rural and suburban areas thinking that NYC deserved it and that it just couldn't happen where they were. And then they refused the fruits of the lessons learned in New York because it just couldn't happen where they were.

People want to complain about the polarization of middle america, but it's mostly BS. What you see online or on the news is not at all indicative of these areas. By that, I mean, these areas are not swarming with people who "refused the fruits of the lessons" of NYC and other places. And I've met VERY few, if any, who thought that NY et. al somehow deserved the pandemic spread.

Where are you getting this information from, if you don't mind me asking?

I'm not sure where you're getting your facts from, but I've been travelling all throughout the MidWest and the South for work this past year. Most people are plenty concerned about Covid, wear masks, etc. It's a highly contagious disease that no country, except for a very select few, have gotten under control in any way.

Once again, I think the country would be a lot better if we just stopped pointing fingers like this.

I'm not American and I don't live in USA. But when a communication center with high density of population is infected at the beginning of a new epidemic it's quite logical this happening. When the pandemic expand to low density areas 6/7 months later when we know a lot of ways to reduce the contaminations, it's not normal this is hapenning.

The entire western world is getting blasted by the 2nd wave of the pandemic. Germany, France, the UK, Spain, Italy. The list goes on & on.

Please explain to me how this is "not normal"
