If you break the data down by county you’ll see the rate of spread has been slower in more educated counties where residents have more resources. In the poor urban areas it’s spreading much faster, people there are not heeding warnings and abiding stay at home orders. When I drive through North Philly people are out like a normal day. When you can’t afford to stock up you can’t afford to stay home for a full week, if you even know what’s going on.

But in areas where people are abiding social distancing, it’s working better. We’ll see two Americas present themselves with starkly different death rates in urban areas vs non urban.
