COVID-19 Will Hit Some Areas Harder

Remember what I said back in early January: that macroeconomics is about geographic correlation?

Utah comes off better in this article entitled "Age and Social Vulnerability in the Context of Coronavirus".

In it, John Nelson of ESRI shows the counties across the U.S. with either a high proportion of seniors (more susceptible to the disease) or with more socially vulnerable people (with presumably less access to healthcare).

The southeast and the midwest are going to get hit hard.
