16 May: ABC Australia: Donald Trump says America’s coronavirus curve is flattening but a second wave is coming for rural communities
By ***Emily Olson
Tucked away in a quiet, empty corner of south-west Georgia, the town (Cuthbert) has one traffic light, two grocery stores and a dozen churches. There are zero skyscrapers or subway cars or international airports...
The country’s most vulnerable communities, lulled into a false sense of security, are getting slammed with America’s second wave of the virus right as the rest of the nation sees an overall flattening curve and pushes to move on.
Cuthbert had the highest death rate per-capita in the US.
At the time of writing, Cuthbert and the surrounding Randolph County (total population: 6,700) reported 169 confirmed cases and 21 deaths...
County coroner Rusty Chapman said he’d never seen anything like it during his 12 years on the job...
Roughly 18 per cent of rural residents are 65 or older, compared with 13 per cent in cities, a proportion that’s only widening over time...
Cuthbert considered itself lucky to have the Jo-Anne Burgin Nursing Home, which operates under a state-managed agreement with a larger public health system.
But that luck became a liability when the 80-bed facility held more than 55 confirmed cases and 11 COVID-19 deaths — an outbreak so bad that the National Guard was called in to test all residents and sanitise the space...
With all the medical urgency, the little town of Cuthbert suddenly resembled New York in a way it never had before...
The Coroner said the calls started pouring in around the fifth day...
“We would get rumours that this person died of COVID-19, that person died of COVID-19 … I got the funeral homes to start notifying me any time they went and picked up a body from a hospital, whether they were COVID-19 deaths or not.”

12 May ABC Australia: What happens if Donald Trump or Joe Biden catch coronavirus?
By Peter Marsh and ***Emily Olson
If Trump or Biden perish close to the big day, not all states would have the resources to swap out new ballots, and delaying the election is next to impossible.
So yes, voters could, hypothetically, be checking the box for…a dead man...
Let’s say that Trump dies in late October...
