You asking because people may fear living in a populated area and the increased exposure? I would think people living piled on top of each other in places like NY may contemplate that. When you think about this virus being aerosolized one couldn't even walk out of their apartment buildings there without the fear someone coughed or sneezed along the corridors to the outside. The virus can be in the air for up to three hours so there's little escaping it in that manner.

In places where people live close to each other but not piled on top of each other my opinion is living out of the city would probably be best in a situation like this except for if law enforcement went down the drain. You'd be prime pickings living out there alone so you'd have to be plenty locked and loaded to do so. In the city they'd call in the national guard or army to keep order....plus there are citizens with guns to help in a total breakdown of society. I guess it would depend on how fast a response there'd be, if they knew it was going to come and could respond in time otherwise hopefully you have a gun or someone near you has a gun.
