Crossing the (State) Line---Go North!

    Apparently a lot of Alabama residents visited Georgia to do things they still can not do here in Alabama, like eat out in restaurants, when Georgia reopened them this week. And the majority of the additional 64,400 visitors came from Alabama and the other states that are contiguous to Georgia.
     From a Washington Post story:

Researchers at the University of Maryland say the data provides some of the first hard evidence that reopening some state economies ahead of others could potentially worsen and prolong the spread of the novel coronavirus. Any impetus to travel, public health experts say, increases the number of people coming into contact with each other and raises the risk of transmission.

“It's exactly the kind of effect we’ve been worried about,” said Meagan Fitzpatrick, an assistant professor at the University of Maryland School of Medicine.
