New York

Which was literally packed with tourists - from all over - during the summer. When I drove up north (the main road goes right through the Village), I saw license plates from states as far away as Florida, South Carolina, Tennessee and Utah(!) and the people packed the streets with rarely a mask in sight.

The crowds are gone now and, as of Monday, every entrance of every store, grocery, gas station, etc., has a sign requiring masks to enter, but not everyone is complying yet and I don't know who is expected to enforce the mandate. I stopped at a small grocery late Monday to pick up a couple of things and the only other customer I saw checking out was a maskless woman - and they can't expect the lone girl at the checkout to be the enforcer.

People got used to wearing masks the first time around, but then came "tourist season." Last year everything was closed down, this summer everything opened with a vengeance. The local paper reports Covid cases - and deaths - for this county and the nearest one (Washington) on the front page and the news is not good.
