https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/05/12/us/coronavirus-reopening-shutdown.htmlAfter weeks cooped up at home following governors orders to contain the coronavirus outbreak, U.S. residents appear eager to get moving again. As more states began to relax restrictions, about 25 million more people ventured outside their homes on an average day last week than during the preceding six weeks, a New York Times analysis of cellphone data found.
In nearly every part of the country, the share of people staying home dropped, in some places by nearly 11 percentage points.
... The estimates of the number of people moving were made using data provided by the location analysis company Cuebiq. The data comes from a representative sample of about 15 million smartphone users nationwide who have agreed to share their location data with certain apps, according to the company. Because the sample is only a proportion of the population and because not everyone in the United States owns a smartphone, or carries one with them everywhere they go the numbers are estimates.
The share of people staying home varied by state, with some states seeing more significant drops in sheltering.
Michigan and Northern Ohio look like a hotbed of new activity.

Apparently, the epicenter of new infections is an assisted living apartment complex.
