Because these are all bordering states with highly interconnected economies and supply chains, many people probably live in one state and work, or at least, have significant business in another. They have bread and butter reasons to go back and forth.
No, the issue is people don’t feel safe, whether they are right in their feelings or not. I’m not talking about Disney l, they seem to have safety at the forefront. Maybe not as much anymore with some of the videos and pictures I’ve seen since upping capacity, but with just knowing a governor saying we have no restrictions, come visit. Most want to see masked enforced I believe inside and want to see the distancing but the feeling is it’s not happening in Florida. It’s a mindset.. hear leaders say everything is open and no worries.. then see pics of the crowds, makes most uncomfortable. As I said, whether it’s wRranted or not.
New York's Governor Cuomo has no problem with people traveling between NY, NJ, CT and PA. There is nothing complicated about that. So why is he opposing residents from visiting their own homes in areas with less Covid19? You can say no one should travel, but if I were to visit my condo in Florida where the infection rate is lower than New York. I am forced to quarantine. To make it even worse, I have antibodies and that doesn't matter. Please, have restrictions but make them reasonable and based on science and safety.
You can’t restrict people from traveling to work. A lot of people live in NY/NJ/PA/CT but work in another state.
As stated before a lot of people travel between those 4 states for work and you can't stop people from working or essential travel. Going to Florida for a vacation is non essential right now.
My wife was also until Covid took her job. Numerous people in the NE do it.You can’t restrict people from traveling to work. A lot of people live in NY/NJ/PA/CT but work in another state.
I’m one of them.
It is not just for work. People are going to Pennsylvania for vaccinations too. The Poconos, Hershey area and others. People from Pennsylvania are coming to Geeat Adventure and people are visiting the Catskills and Adirondack in New York. If you wanted to put a work exception that could be done but I am talking about vacation and that should be based on science. Plus why shouldn't travel restrictions include in state residents? It should not be that hard for NY to implement that because they already track micro clusters.You can’t restrict people from traveling to work. A lot of people live in NY/NJ/PA/CT but work in another state.

Bank lobbies never even reopened here.
I didn’t think walking into a bank was even a thing anymore. People still need to walk into banks?
Travel leads to more spread no matter where you go (except maybe New Zealand). It’s not like FL is doing good. The daily cases are approaching 10K a day and that’s the level we were at this summer where bars were closed and localities started pulling way back. So just because there are more cases in NY than FL doesn‘t mean someone from NY is safe to go to FL because of that. When you travel you have to get to the airport, wait in security, fly on the plane, get to a hotel, stay in that hotel for a period of time, eat most or all of your meals out, do whatever it is you came to do (WDW as an example for this crowd) and then do the travel part all over again going back. That’s a lot of interaction with strangers in high risk environments like restaurants and also indoor area like airports that are crowded and difficult to distance. If that same NYer stayed home they would spend the majority of their time eating and sleeping at home and may go out for some limited exposure to strangers, but nothing near the level they would have of traveling. So it’s not just if my cases are higher than yours it’s safe to travel. Travel in general is not a good idea when cases are so high across the country.
When they don't allow the full range of transactions at the window it is.
That’s actually not true. PA‘s travel restrictions say if you leave the state to go anywhere you have to quarantine and that includes NY and NJ so your facts are alternate facts
. It’s not some political policy attempting to punish FL. The CDC is recommending people avoid non-essential travel through the holidays. These states are following through on that recommendation.
There are a ton of hospitals in the Philly area and a ton of nurses and doctors who live in the NJ suburbs and work in those hospitals. They aren’t going to restrict those people from going to work. If you come to PA from another state for a vacation right now you have to quarantine. There is a work exception that allows people to continue working. There’s a big difference between traveling to another state for work or to go to a doctor’s visit at a hospital or something short term and going somewhere on vacation. That recent list of the 5 most likely public place to be infected included restaurants, bars, cafes and hotels which are all places you are more likely to visit while traveling on vacation.
Round up and have it all go to charity. Done.
I think it is a bit of a chicken and egg thing. Do you inoculate those over 65 or those with whom they interact who also interact with others? I imagine it is those who are older who more often use in-person banking services. There is also the specific mention of rural branches where access to online banking is more constrained.
We do our share of that. And while I don't personally have a pile of change, my college student does, and I don't expect her to donate all her change.
I was just reading the Pennsylvania FAQ page and it seems Governor Wolf did a better job on his order than either Governor Murphy or Governor Cuomo. In my opinion that is because of the education he received at The Hill School. He did exclude those who work in Pennsylvania but live in a neighboring state. He did not exclude anyone not working, or on critical business, but I know those vacationing from NY or NJ is not enforced.That’s actually not true. PA‘s travel restrictions say if you leave the state to go anywhere you have to quarantine and that includes NY and NJ so your facts are alternate facts
