We learned to NOT keep hogs in rooms with a population of 5000 and to reduce the room size to a population of 500.
I would think the same holds true with humans. People living in densely populated areas( NY,LA,etc...) are going to get hit the hardest. People living and working rural will not be affected so much.

KDHE Secretary Dr. Lee Norman essentially said the same thing today in his presser when comparing rural parts of the state (he mentioned Garden City) vs more populated parts of the state (JoCo & the Dotte).
