I will agree with you about the job New York has done. My employer has a production facility 23 miles from Rochester which I am in daily contact with. From my colleagues in that plant, they report very few cases of COVID-19 in the area around Rochester.
As of yesterday, New York's 7 day rolling average positivity rate is 1%. Illinois (where I live) positivity rate is now 4.2% and that rate has been on the rise for the past few weeks.
. Indiana's governor enacted a mask mandate a couple of weeks ago, but he has received some pushback. Indiana's 7 day positivity rate from 7/27/2020 to 8/2/2020 was 7.5%.
