No, that article is out of date. Currently Hawaii is the only state in the “low risk” category, meaning no quarantine required when entering Massachusetts. People from all other states must quarantine, https://www.mass.gov/info-details/covid-19-travel-order

Article was from November
That article was Nov 14. Baker added all the other states to the list around Thanksgiving.
Now every state except Hawaii, and that will prob be added soon

We moved from Colorado to MA - it is nearly impossible to quarantine while moving! We had no food, you need to setup our house, we had to get our dogs out, you need to setup services, get equipment from my employer to work from home and the list goes on. So we did the best we can! No one ever even questioned us driving around with Colorado plates.

Another article about skiing during the pandemic: https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/skiing-during-covid-19-vermont-us/index.html
It's mostly a collection of anecdotes about skiing different places in the Northeast in early winter 20/21.

You were there about 3 years or so, right; curious why you moved back?
Officials say resorts aren’t responsible for rising Covid-19 cases in ski towns
A number of businesses in Dover, home of Mount Snow, have temporarily shut down after 18 residents tested positive.

At a 99.97% recovery rate and 30 TOTAL case count since March '20 - it's pretty hard to understand the logic behind shutting everything down.

Multiple restaurants in the Mount Snow area have made the decision to temporarily shut down during the last week, until all staff can be tested and the owners feel its safe for them and their staff to return to work. This is something that the owners themselves, not the State of VT, are currently choosing to do

So several restaurants shut themselves down. Not even "every" one. Never mind "everything". So much hyperbole.

Correct.
4 or 5 restaurants and 1 grocery store either out of the having an employee test positive or feeling that the risk was too great right now even though no employees had tested positive, made the voluntary choice to shut down for a period of time, or switch in some cases from in person dining to take out only.
Most of the business, of any and all types, are open and operating under the state guidelines as "usual" right now

The top 4 resteraunts in Bethel, Maine are shut down. Many small businesses don't think it's worth it to put up with all the COVID restrictions and regulations from the state. It's happening in many restrictive states. Meanwhile the big stores and chains thrive.

22 Broad and Sunday River Brew Pub do not count (owners decided to retire and owners fought the state and lost).
50%, 150% etc. 'increases in cases' that's part of the point, hyperbole, along with VT having the most restrictive policies regarding the customers from out of state.
I guess everything is too strong a word - this isn't CA - yet.

If you're against hyperbole, why do it yourself? In the same sentence?
