I was visiting family in a very rural part of Texas recently. No iron crosses or confederate flags, but plenty of Trump/Pence flags and signs still around. It's probably the best place to be unvaccinated actually. People out there are accustomed to keeping a respectful distance, aside from the occasional brief hug or handshake. They will not tolerate crowded conditions as in the city, because they don't have to. Even the Sunday church congregations are sparser than in days past. Consequently, the Covid threat out there has remained quite low.
