Hi justaboutnotmal, We are starting to see an influx of out of state visitors. The numbers are still down, but they are coming and the police are not turning them away. If Maine is a building hot spot, I would say it is due to the people arriving from other areas. Poe I also have seen a lot more out-of-state license plates and they just had a covid outbreak in Houlton (far north and very rural) where 8 ambulance workers became infected after transporting an asymptomatic patient who later tested positive. They are not saying whether this person was a local resident or a visitor, but Aroostook County has had virtually no cases up to now so I suspect it arrived with a visitor from southern Maine or from out of state. Although Maine is not considered a hot spot yet, that can change quickly as this outbreak shows. Right now Maine is a potential hot spot, especially areas where tourists go, and to be honest, they are not observing the 14-day quarantine as required. Some simply come for a day or a weekend.

I see more and more out of state traffic here everyday. No $10000 treasure hunt is worth a few weeks in the ICU and a bill that will bankrupt most people.
