Greetings from Trump's America: Foster County, North Dakota, where 1 of 20 residents have tested positive for the virus

The coronavirus was slow to come to Foster County, N.D., a community of just over 3,000 people in the eastern part of the state. When virus cases surged in the Northeast in the spring, the county recorded just one positive case. When national case counts peaked in mid-July, it had recorded just two more. 
But by Tuesday, about one in every 20 residents had tested positive for the virus. More than half of those cases were reported in the past two weeks.


Foster County:  Home of the 16-percenters

Just 16% say they trust coronavirus information from President Donald Trump a great deal or quite a bit, down from 23% in April.
