If I am reading the data correctly, considering total number of cases, and current rates of growth, the Bay Area is doing really well compared to the rest of the USA in terms of preventing the spread. [1] There will inevitably be areas that will recover sooner than others, and I could see the Bay Area being one of those places. How is the Bay Area going to handle that? Are these places going to station cops on county lines and screen people wanting to come into a "recovered" region?

- greendave 6y agoThis problem generalizes to state-lines as well. Moreover, restrictions are not uniform. For example, San Mateo county restricts movement to within 5 miles of one's residence. Other bay area counties like Santa Clara do not. So legally somebody from Santa Clara county can visit San Mateo county (for exercise), but not the other way around. A well-managed response would include curbs on movement, be it at the state or county level.

He had to quarantine 2 weeks in Malaysia before he was allowed on a plane back to his home in Amsterdam, and now has to self-quarantine for another 2 weeks there given the airports he passed through. I could easily see similar restrictions. E.g., anybody wanting to enter a Western Pact state might be required to quarantine 2 weeks upon arrival.
