I have no idea what point you’re trying to make.

Does Maine still have the 14 day quarantine requirement for out of state visitors? It was through August, but if that’s changed I’d love to know.

Some people are too dumb to live.

So stupid. But also, I'm shocked they didn't have cameras that picked her up before this all happened. I worked for NPS for years. A lot of their workers are seasonal and aren't there at all to monitor, but park police are present. You wouldn't believe how many stupid deaths NPS has yearly- falling off cliffs, selfies with buffalo, getting lost of rogue hiking adventures... People think it's an amusement park or something and are less safe than they normally would be.

...selfies with buffalo...

So the stupids won't crowd into them.

Even though Yellowstone is closed, someone managed to kill themselves in one of the natural thermal features this week.

Yellowstone and Grand Tetons are opening up starting next week. Rocky Mountain National Park is opening up in late May.

And from the Maine CDC web site, today: "It is mandated that all out-of-state travelers coming into Maine, as well as Maine residents returning to Maine, complete a 14-day quarantine upon arrival. This means:

You need to arrive with enough food for 14 days or arrange to have food delivered to you. You cannot go out to grocery stores.
Stay at home. You cannot go out to public places.
Avoid contact with others, especially those who are at high risk of severe COVID-19 illness.
There is no order to quarantine for people who make short trips back and forth across the border for work. Travel should be limited to essential trips."
