I live an hour outside Detroit. Wayne county (Detroit) has 3195 cases. The county where I live, which is semi-rural and has one major city of not more that 35000 people has 25. Do the math.

My county has the 3rd most in our state — 79. In response, we are on lockdown, and the beaches are closed until June.
In the past 6 days, our case count went up by 101, 69, 144, 135, 151, and 130. Notice the lack of a trend.
We have 136 people in hospital now. We have thousands of beds, and 1700 usable ICU beds (lack of doctors/nurses/support staff). At our current rate, we should hit about 300 hospitalizations before the oldest start dying or getting better, so we are at under 30% of our total capacity. Of course, it could get a lot worse.
