My wife's last day was the 10th but I had tried to get them to stop earlier, basically put my foot down. We actually left the city that Saturday, now we are dealing with driving around northern New Hampshire with NY plates. Locals are starting to take more notice.

Why exactly are they taking notice?
- jdsully 7y ago
  NY is the new epicenter of the outbreak and therefore new yorkers have a higher chance of being infected.

    Similar thing has been happening in France since the lockdown and 1 million Parisians fleeing Paris. In the region of Bretagne several cars with Paris plates have actually been vandalised [1] (first article that I could find, in French).

      Not that vandalism is in any way an appropriate response, but people moving away from high infection areas is a big way in how the infection is spreading. Definitely a very selfish move.

        If you believed your family was currently virus free but at increased risk of death because of high virus infection rates in your surroundings, would you do anything different than what these people are “selfishly” doing?

        Yes, I live in NYC, I decided to stay in NYC for this reason.

        I live in Italy in a city with several hundred cases. I have a country house, and we're not moving there. We stay the fuck at home and we are under 50, we'll be fine. Don't be that guy, stay were you are.

> We actually left the city that Saturday And then you went into strict quarantine for 14 days right?

  while i do agree that anyone traveling from anywhere now (but esp. hard hit areas like nyc) should be self quarantining for 14 days before circulating in the new community, to be fair, 3 weeks ago it wasn't clear what people should and should not be doing and the government was giving very mixed messages to people. I know several people who left nyc over the last few weeks, mostly to stay w family in neighboring states. We decided we are staying in nyc, and since the schools closed (march 13 was the last day they were open), we have had very limited exposure to anyone outside our apartment and have not left our apartment at all in 8 days except to go in our small backyard (which i am very grateful for right now).
