Here's the facts
Montana's population was 1,068,778 in 2019, We have 145,552 square miles of LAND, this does not include any water. That means there are 7.3429 people per square miles.

There is 27,878,400 square feet in a square mile, so each person has 3,796,647 square feet. That is 1,948.4986 by 1,948.4986 feet for each person. if each person stood in the center of there square they would be .3690 miles apart.

With 56 counties, 28 have zero reported cases, 8 have 1. That's 64.2857% of our counties with 1 or less cases.

We have 387 confirmed cases, or .00032095 of our population.
With 6 deaths that .00000561388 of our population

So far this year we have had 29 people die in traffic accidents.

I think all roadways should be shut down as deaths on the roads are 4.83333 times worse.

YES THIS IS A BAD THING! BUT WE HAVE TO BRING COMMON SINCE BACK INTO THE EQUATION

You have lots of room but you have cities with more density than the farms do. It's likely because of the shutdown that you have so few cases. Consider yourselves lucky.

There is no sense to a virus. It is completely indiscriminate in its actions. It has only one mission, to spread and kill to survive. I suggest you take the time to read Laurie Garrett's book, "The Coming Plague". It scared the beejeezus out of me when I read it 24 years ago. Perhaps if it had been required reading by politicians we wouldn't be in such a dire state now. Instead of whining I suggest you get down on your knees and thank the good Lord for your blessings. I'm sure that any of the 20,000+ dead would be more than happy to trade places with you.

Montana is close to Idaho which is close to Washington too.

Isn't your governor a Democrat? Look what the governor of Michigan did. She has banned all travel to cottages in the state. And banned the selling of flowers, among other things because they are not "essential". Not drawing any conclusions but sorry if this sounds political.
