Driving to a 2nd home in a more sparsely populated area might endanger people if some people leaving cities are carrying Covid 19. If those more sparsely populated areas have relatively easily overwhelmed healthcare systems, then they're especially dangerous places to have or spread the virus. Covid 19 is likely to be more common in big cities, which tend to have the best resourced healthcare.
Driving to a 2nd home in a more densely populated area might be less dangerous, but could still spread the virus.
- ryanianian 7y agoAs long as you self-quarantine for the recommended 14 days after arriving somewhere new, you're actually decreasing the number of potential spreading vectors by removing another person from the densely-populated area. It's key that you be strict with your quarantine and don't go to stores/gas stations/etc.

- ryanianian 7y agoYou don't have to be rich to have a second home in a rural area.
- throwanem 7y agoDon't you?
- ryanianian 7y agoYou can get a second home outside of the NYC area for under $70k. It can come to as little as $15k down and $500/month all-in including utilities/taxes/*. Not chump-change but certainly not "rich" levels of money.
- danharaj 7y agoSure, and those people I'm more confident would be conscientious neighbors. But people who have second houses in tourist destinations, well, (X) doubt.
