New York Can Handle Social Distancing
No shocker here, New York is the leader of the pack when it comes to states where 'Social Distancing' is practiced. However, we aren't a state where it's the most difficult to practice it.

Our data set ranges from whether residents have supportive relationships to how non-essential travel has changed due to the pandemic and how much consumers spent on social activities before COVID-19.
Here's what they found:
New York is ranked number 41. We didn't make the top 25. Is it because we have been practicing this longer?
