you think any one of them was going to turn around and leave their vacation home to go back to a city with twenty five thousand people per square mile? Please.

To be honest, I think the biggest failure of COVID policy is that this, much like everything else, ran on the honor system.

There were people asking Gina to use the coast guard to patrol the coast to make sure they weren't coming in that way, and she respond like it was a good idea they would consider instead of dismissing it as ridiculous. Others were upset that there would be NY'ers using area hospital beds. The RI yokels were out of control and ridiculous with their demands.
