If you never come in contact with the virus you won’t get it. I think that is obvious, but why do you wonder about this? How would they theoretically get the virus?
Not confused about anything considering testing standardization is all over the place in every state. Unconfirmed cases definitely don't mean there aren't any, and that's kind of the question because both MS and AL are showing that they have no confirmed cases--and there's only 8 states left without confirmed cases last time I checked. Local news a few days ago said there would be a high probability of it coming, and now virtually surrounded the only way it won't is if everyone play freeze tag for a couple of weeks.
Yes, that is obvious. But people who live isolated still do get sick--what those odds are and how they apply to this situation is the question. I know people that live 'out in the booies' so it will be interesting to see if they are still safe long after everyone is infected.
