Since I grew up in New Mexico and still have business interests and friends there I am following the Wuhan virus in that state. The urban Albuquerque area has the most cases. Nine assisted living facilities located around the state contain significant percentages of infected residents and employees. The rural counties are all but untouched. What that tells me is that the density of a population has a lot to do with the chance of becoming infected.

Also population centers having high percentages of people who travel for business and personal reasons have relatively high infection rates.
