Consider many rural populations are self isolating since the beginning of time, and not so much as the Amish but 99% in that direction when compared to the city centers.

'Rurality' does not seem to be a guarantee of anything:

"Rural Americans more likely to die from COVID-19"

"Covid is killing rural Americans at twice the rate of people in urban areas"

* https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/covid-killing-rur...

Seems once it (eventually) gets into a community, it can spread quite quickly, and the more isolated nature of the community means reduced readily-available treatment options.
