Just the hassle of going through the testing will discourage people from visiting.
Many retired people from the Northeast live in the South but want to travel up north in the summertime to visit relatives.
These lockdown policies will really hurt the Democrat tourist states.
They already have. Not just Dems my FRiend. For example, a guy I know has a beach house he owns in York Beach, ME. He makes most of his yearly mortgage from June 1st to Labor Day. About $4500/week. York is the first exit on I95 over the bridge from NH.
It is less than an hour drive from the north side of Boston. Therefore, many of his summer renters over the years are from MA. There are 8 million people in MA, as opposed to 3 million in ME, NH & VT combined. With the Covid-19 restrictions on MA residents entering ME the last month his house has NOT been rented. He is going to stay there this July 4th week. He is hoping that the people for July and August do not cancel.
He is NOT a Democrat.
