4. Rising infection rate there is so ironic. This is one of the most "social distancing" cultures on..

Earth in terms of history. Tens of thousands of square miles with few inhabitants. Someone dies at a home, it is left abandoned, from a millennia of dealing with infectious diseases. At least among traditional Navajo.

Yet, with modern lifestyle changes, the virus is rapidly spreading. Apparently everyone going to the same few stores and Walmarts (according to my sister-in-law who lives out there.

Warning are now being broadcast on every available radio station, newspaper and the Navajo TV channel.

5. What caught our attention was Rachel's map showing the largest red patch of cases anywhere...
