i gathered these Montana COVID stats from

  Montana population: 1.069 million (2019)

  COVID-19 Cases
  18 deaths
  485 recovered
  53184 tested

after doing the above, i wanted to know the counties in Montana with cases...
another search brought me this map on the same site as above...

 WD> Of course, social distancing is the rule in Montana in a state that
 WD> large with so few people living.

i suspect that being one of the main reasons for that line of thinking from
your friends in Montana is not far from the truth...

compare to these for COVID-19...
