Message: [QUOTE="Fairfield Fan, post: 3613606, member: 6911"] We're the 4th most densely populated state in the nation. I-95 through Connecticut is one of the most heavily travelled roads in the country. Fairfield County, the state's most populated county, is inextricably linked to New York City. Indeed, more people commute out of Manhattan and Brooklyn into Fairfield County for jobs than commute from our bedroom communities into Manhattan. Metro North is one of the most heavily utilized commuter rail lines in the world. And one of the most crowded, or it was before the virus struck. So we are deeply into what happens in the Northeast, in New York, and with NY being an air travel hub, what happens everywhere else. And as one of the wealthiest states with big exposure to finance, defense, aeronautics and biotech, people come here for business in droves. So we're not immune to the disaster that is unfolding in the rest of the nation, despite our state having performed superbly to get control of the virus. [/QUOTE]
