For a “whopping” total of 551 new cases combined between all 5 states yesterday according to worldometers. Meaning if you put those 5 states together they still had less new cases than 15 of the states with stay at home orders. Or around 7% of the new cases in New York alone. Doesn’t seem as scary when you actually put all the numbers out there now does it?
