Illinois COVID-19 death rate in rural counties is now twice as high as metro areas.

1. I have quite a few friends that live in rural Illinois. They've told me of the vast majority of

folks who are ignoring mask rules, ignoring social distancing rules, etc. Also, the same thing is happening in rural Missouri (the ignoring of rules/safeguards)...thus, it's probably this way across the entire rural spectrum of America.

And, no one else is forcing them at gunpoint to obey the simplest of safeguards against the CV, just common sense.

Now of course a lot of businesses are requiring masks if you wish to shop in their store, a right of any private business and/or home to demand on their own property, otherwise you don't get in.

But still, some are still complaining about masks mandates, etc.

At what point do these people start being called serial murderers? At what point do these people start getting arrested and confined to their homes if they won't obey a simple request to 'mask up' or socially distance themselves? Republican governors and/or others around them are so scared, so cowardly to do the right thing now-a-days.

And we want them to be our leaders, our representatives?
