Just read an article about the cities with the highest increases in covid infections. Nashville was on the list as was Des Moines, Armarillo, Charlotte, and other medium sized and larger cities but the list was headed up by of all places Central City Ky at a 650% increase. Of all the nowhere places I have had to spend a lot of time at over the years that place takes the cake. It has less than 6k population and is in the middle of nowhere. This list was taken from a White House report. What ever the intent of the report or the article, Central City should never be on the same list as those other true cities.
