Here on Cape Cod we get our fair share of "Quarantine Tourism", where people from Boston and the suburbs escape to relative safety in what are otherwise seasonal communities. State guidelines call for most out-of-state visitors to bring enough food for a quarantine period of 14 days, but of course very few people do that, and there is zero enforcement. Two months ago an AirBnB across the street from us hosted a birthday party with over 30 guests. We called the owner to complain, and he claimed not to know how that this was going to happen. Another neighbor called the police, who declined to enforce occupancy restrictions, insisting that this was the responsibility of the Health Department. Legislation to keep short-term rentals out of residential neighborhoods has been hampered by the fact that some of the lawmakers are landlords and would end up undermining their own profits! Local businesses also like the boost to the economy, despite the fact that things like shopping and indoor dining are subject to restrictions - all enforced via "the honor system". Needless to say, the infection rate in Barnstable County now reflects the influx of visitors, many of whom pay little or no attention to CDC and/or State guidelines.


North of the 49 th, it was a similar situation until the police started handing out fines. Hope things improve in the new year.

I really don't understand all the hatred on this board. JZ posts some really nice pics of Baja and other places, Then Ged the supposed therapist calls him Jizz, Nevermind Goat, he just hates old people. I lost my Mom to Covid last May13th, The Dr wanted to know if I wanted to zoom/facetime with her, I didn't know how to. Mom was 95 and lived a wonderful life.
