New Yorkers are only interacting outside, where there is airflow constant supply of fresh air.

Same with the beaches you photo'd.

People in NY/NJ are NOT hanging out together inside. They're not in schools, not in offices, etc.

So YES, they are being more careful.

OK I was in Ocean City NJ at the beach a month ago. This is just not true. I was in the women's bathroom- no masks, 6 inches from other people, no airflow. I'd say about 1/10 wearing masks. People crowded together.

And in the South, the schools opened.
