dc.description.abstractAs the urgent efforts to reduce the death toll of COVID-19 continue, there is substantial concern across the nation regarding who will be next. While large urban centers were imposing lockdowns, vast rural regions remained relatively open. Five states in the southeastern US (South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and Florida) were some of the last to enact statewide “shelter in place” mandates. The spread of COVID-19 from urban to rural communities should be alarming. This essay posits that the conditions exist to create the perfect storm for COVID-19 to have devastating effects on rural America, particularly in the southeastern US.en_US
