(1,495 posts)17. My daughter and her husband left yesterday for a 5 day vacation in NYC
She rationalized that NYC is only in "medium" transmission, while the county in New York we live in (Erie County) is in "high." So she says she will be safer in NYC. But they took a plane, will be eating in restaurants, going in crowded areas, so I'm very worried.
