I've had it for 15 years. Minor flare ups once a year, but this is a bad one that required meds. It'll be gone in a day or two, but you've never felt anything like it. Kidney stones are supposedly in the same league painwise.

30 minutes though, and my ass will be vicodined up on the couch watching Thunderball.

Actually, I had typed out a different response that specially said rural area usually have older folk than cities, but left it out after reviewing the specs in linked article. So that's on me. Bottom line, we both agree on the three points that:
1) rural areas will have less cases per capita because they are so spread out (less concentrated)
2) rural areas have an older population
3) death rates there will be higher because of the older population

It Took a Global Pandemic, But Generation X is Finally Getting Love
Sorry Boomers and Too Bad Millennials — Only One Generation Stands Out as Social Distancing Pros

There are roughly 65 million of us ― but we are easy enough to overlook. Generation X is generally accepted to have been born in that sliver of time between 1965 and 1980. What my teens didn’t know was that my entire generation has been dismissed from day one, and what’s more we don’t really care.

It seems that it has taken a global pandemic for anyone to sing our praises ― to even call us by name. All of the sudden folks are impressed by our remarkable resilience, our ability to entertain ourselves for hours on end and our willingness to shelter in place without whining.

All hail the forgotten generation ― we’re finally getting the recognition that we deserve.

Gen X folks can actually thrive on solitude and enjoy their downtime, due to our advanced tolerance for boredom. We spent untold hours alone in our homes after school, fending for ourselves, living off Ding-Dongs and macaroni and cheese, as the first generation of latchkey kids.

Social isolation is not only tolerable for us, Gen X requires a regular dose of it to recharge our batteries. So while you might already be flipping out, we are basking in the down time.

I wonder the impact will be on rural groups like the Amish and Mennonites?

Not sure about the Mennonites but I believe the Amish live in clusters, so once one person gets it it'll spread quickly. But they also tend to isolate from the outside world, so the chance of someone in their group catching it in the first place is lower. I would guess that the mortality rate would likely mirror that if the general populous (young will be fine, elderly will die), but on the other hand since Amish don't use modern medicine (no vaccines, etc.) they might be more susceptible to it.

Seriously though, go read that Pitt article. In a land of despair and inaction, they bring hope, fascinating new tech, leaning on their rockstar from the polio outbreak, lower costs, scalable production, etc. Even the application method is remarkable.

Pitt is no joke in science research...has always been near the top in neuro
