I live way out in the wilderness in the North Carolina mountains. Madison County NC, zero Corona cases so far. One of the safest places to be in these days.
I was driving up onto the top of the mountain today, with my girlfriend. There are 4 other houses on this mountain, a long ridge actually 550 feet above the French Broad River, the closest is 1/2 mile away. We were looking for out crazy Beagle, she has spring fever and has been running far off the past week.
And there in the neighbor's yard 1/2 mile away, I saw Lee Ann in the yard. Honestly I thought it was a ghost, hadn't seen her in 2 years they never come down here. She is a poetry professor at St. John's College in New York. Or New Jersey or some damn where. She and her husband Tony live in a brown stone in Manhattan.
We got out of the car, she was waving at me hysterically, as to say "KEEP AWAY." I got out I was about 15 feet away, she was backing away. I realized she was terrorized by the Corona. After all, New York is the epicenter of the problem.
She said she and Tony drove down on Friday. She said that today was the first day she had been outside. I realized, she was terrified of the Corona and for good reason.
We currently have no cases of the Corona here in Madison County.
We talked for a minute you could tell she wanted nothing to do with another person, even at 15 feet away on a sunny day.
Just 3 days ago the Florida governor shut down I 95 to all cars from New York. Lee Ann and Tony figured, North Carolina was likely to do the same thing any day, they had to Escape From New York while the getting was good.

Shirley and I talked about it, we realized that we have a lot more to fear from New Yorkers than they have to fear from us. Normally Tony and Lee Ann have great parties, good booze and good food. If they threw a party tomorrow we would not be able to make it I'm afraid.

Where I deliver in Sevier County (home of Dollywood, Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg) all of the rental cabins on my route are FULL of people with NY and north of the Mason DIxon line license plates. They started coming in on about Tuesday and showed no signs of slowing down. Of course they are ordering Amazon, going to the local grocery stores and LOADING up with stuff. Looks like they are here to stay for a while.

At least they were out in the toolies with few people around.
I have read alot of stories of people running south and going about their routing as if nothing was going on.
Unfortunately it gives all NY'ers ( North Easterners) a bad rap.

Yes we got the damn Beagle back, we went 1/4 mile past Lee Ann's house and the damn Beagle heard my truck came running and jumped into the front seat. Damn Beagle.

I thought this thread would be about Snake Plissken.
l told my pap and mam I was going to be a mountain man; acted like they was gut-shot. Make your life go here. Here's where the peoples is. Mother Gue, I says, the Rocky Mountains is the marrow of the world, and by God, I was right.

She was probably more worried about giving it to you than getting it from you.

Do you think she was pushing you back to protect you? Food for thought.

Exactly why it's going to keep spreading. Wonder how many places they stopped between NYC and NC and possibly left their mark if they're infected?
