The north eastern states in particular got hit harder at the outset and got stricter about protocols. Currently they are having far less issues with new infection rates. They also have far better vaccination rates than many of the southern states, which has and will continue to mitigate infection and/or spread.
As has been pointed out, however, there are tons folks from these regions traveling to the states that have increasing infection and hospitalization rates AND folks from these states will be traveling up north for shows. Sadly there are folks claiming to be fans, claiming they are going to shows, and bragging about not being vaccinated, not getting tested, and not wearing masks. What's the saddest part is we know this is already happening across the country at all sorts of big events.
So my random DMB thought is that everyone going to shows stays safe. We know the honor system in much of our country is BS, so we should try to do better for each other and everyone else out there.
