Yes, we were heavily affected by our proximity to NYC, which is why our case rates and death rates were highest in Fairfield County (which is basically a suburb of NYC). We were also greatly affected along the interstate corridors that come from NYC (i.e. I-95 and I-91), which is why New Haven County and Hartford County were subsequently hit hard.
