There really is no social distancing taking place there, but it's not like people are dying left and right in Jenry and the surrounding counties.
NYC is the main reason why everything is shut down, but NYC is not like most every other place in the US. They need to be shut down, but everywhere else seems like overkill.

I actually don't think the biggest fear would be places like Walmart, although you're right about that. The problem is sending people back to work to congregate with each other all day. At least at Walmart you're hopefully more "in and out" and not interacting with the same people for long periods of time, because you're moving around the store.
Look at those meat packing plants, nursing homes, cruise ships. Any time this virus gets into a place where it's a group of people who are stuck together for long periods of time, it seems to just wreck the place.
