Me too. I'm in Cape May County, only two cases and one of them came here from NY.
What sucks though is I live in a resort town, only a couple hundred of us in my town in the off season (over 40k in season), and people who own second homes here from the Philly and NY area are pouring into here in attempts to get away from people. Most of our police are seasonal, our grocery stores aren't stocked in the off-season for many people, our Hospital only has 16 ICU beds and the unexpected influx is a problem. If many came here infected, our hospital will be overwhelmed very quickly.
That's one of a myriad of problems a small town like yours faces. All it takes is one asshole who has the virus to run and hide in your town and boom, half the town has it. I was skimming through fox News and saw an article that was about a very similar situation. Many vacation home owners are taking refuge in their small town vacation homes and most of the communities don't want them there. You illustrated many reasons why. I hope things stay safe and sane for you.
Edit: I grew up in Elmer, lol if you've even heard of it. It was a dinky town on the way to Delaware. Been gone for a long time though.
I couldn't be happier living in Idaho. Yesterday was a normal Saturday for my town. If anything it was busier than usual.
We have 0 cases in my county of roughly 180k.
We have 22 cases in Montana currently. 5 known in Missoula.
Sorry but it is coming your way...

Yep, worried about that here in Blount county, TN. Tons of NE's have second homes here, locusts
How dare you call it the China Virus! That's the most important thing to focus on!
