This could cause an explosion of corona-virus here just like there is in New York only with deadlier consequences.
Your thoughts on this?

I think this exodus in going on ways that no one really has data on. I can understand why people in NYC would feel the urge to flee but ... they should not be allowed in. All it does it raise the risk here. I know there's no practical ways to stop them. The RI governor was one of the few who showed leadership.
My opinion is the influx will clearly cause the risk to explode as you say, or at least spike. The first places the refugees go are Walmart, Publix, Walgreens etc as you mention.
People should already have been staying home. This is an even better reason to do so.
