I suppose another option (lower case in my mind) is MA people going up to get cheaper gas or liquor right over the line????

I'm sure there are many ways to read this chart but that's what it says to me...
Thoughts / idea's / other theory's?

Two things to keep in mind in support of the Guv's position. First, there are likely many more cases that are undiagnosed due to lack of testing. Second, if you believe that the spread from a few patients is inexorable under normal conditions, then the best time to clamp down is early. That way the shutdown is shorter and more effective.
