Rural Kansas is getting bad.Unfortunately it's now taking a grip on the rural areas. Places where medical help is the hardest to find. They have the least amount of doctors, hospitals and all that's needed to combat this disease. Which means people will not be able to get the medical help they need. Plus they have very limited equipment and PPE.
This isn't good.
About one for every 5-6 counties here.Most likely there is a town or city within driving distance they can go to for medical treatment. ...

"Unfortunately" ?
Somehow you guys are always first to post these stories, so something tells me you really don't feel that way.

No where near enough if it really takes off.

There is plenty of medical providers in smaller cities. If need be, I'm sure that they will be able to send in hospital ships or whatever. Although my guess is that this is just a scare tactic by liberals afraid the the pestilence is NOT coming to the rural areas at all. Wyoming County PA has only 7 deaths in the whole county, and Lycoming just 3.
Hardly at Black Death levels at all

Can't send a hospital ship to Amarillo, there's no ocean around here. And, the cases here in the TX panhandle are continuing to rapidly rise, partially because of the meat packing plants we have around here. And, down in Canyon (15 miles away), they now have a rest home that has had an outbreak.
Here's a link to what the panhandle is currently going through, and it's not really good. These are the current cases as of today, 15 May 2020.

The medical infrastructure is scarce in rural America. Generally clinics instead of hospitals, overburdened doctors, lack of nurses, lack of supplies.
Maybe medical personnel from cities that are trending downward can fill the void
We've even got Life Flight. Less than half of Maine's critical care beds are occupied at present, most not with Covid cases. Most of the state is rural, so that means we've got capacity.Most likely there is a town or city within driving distance they can go to for medical treatment. ...
Dana is at it again spreading doom and gloom. It’s actually excellent news as it gets us closer to herd immunity. Keep spreading.Unfortunately it's now taking a grip on the rural areas.

Actually, young doctors right out of training DO come here for a few years, because as an underserved area, if they work here for so many years, they get part of their student loans forgiven. Then they're gone. Because you're right, it is not at all profitable to run a private practice in a rural area. Just get to know a doc, they know you, and they're out the door.The medical infrastructure is scarce in rural America.

The reason for the shortage of medical help in rural areas is unregulated or improperly regulated capitalism.
It's not profitable to be in rural areas.
It's the same reason why high speed Internet isn't available in the rural areas or what's available isn't very good.
It's the same reason why the rural areas have to use satellites instead of cable.
The reason why rural areas don't have medical staff is that they come out of school with such high burden of debt from student loans they can't afford to go to work in the rural areas. They can't support themselves on the very low wages plus the high payments of the student loan.
Which it all comes back to unregulated or improperly regulated capitalism.
Capitalism will destroy itself if it's not properly regulated.
I believe this shit like i believe Joe the groper Biden has a chance to win. The problem with the liberals (is that they have an IQ of less than 70) think that they can scare the rest of US with their bullshit pandemic that has killed with all the related deaths up to 85,000 since Jan 15th(not sure all those related deaths are really related, but if i have to believe that stat, then they MUST believe this stat)...Unfortunately it's now taking a grip on the rural areas.
