Deaths per capita from COVID for the States you referred to, as reported by State health sites mid November 2020:

Nevada: 1 in 1600

Utah: 1 in 4500

Montana: 1 in 2200

North Dakota: 1 in 1300

Minnesota: (outside of the 7 county Twin Cities) 1 in 3700

Michigan: (outside of Detroit area) 1 in 3600

In comparison

Where you moved from (Orange County CA)

1 in 2000

Where you moved to (Michigan/Detroit area Wayne/Detroit City/Oakland/Macomb) 1 in 350, not 1 in 3500, that’s one in three hundred and fifty.

If you moved to someplace six times deadlier (from a COVID standpoint), I’m guessing you have bigger problems to worry about than the COVID public health posture of those States you travelled through...
