6. In Maine, where I live,

Most of the population lives in southern Maine and you can't find shot appointments there, so a whole bunch of people from southern Maine are traveling to the less populated areas in northern Maine to get an appointment. It's kind of dumb, but that's the current situation. People have been traveling farther than I did. Some are going two hours or more one direction. Northern Maine is both less populated, but also where the Trumpers reside in the state for the most part. A newspaper article on it that I read mentioned that typically northern Mainers drive to southern Maine to seek health care, so this situation is kind of an odd reversal of that.
