My experience here is much closer to yours. I semi-regularly drive to NH for Home Depot or BJ's and don't notice a whole lot of difference. I'm not sure what is shut down or restricted more in VT than in NH. I also know that I am incredibly lucky. My wife and I can easily work from home and my son goes to school remotely. Other than things like going to the fair or travelling out of state, our lives have been minimally disrupted. Most of the activities we partake in are outdoors such as golf and hiking and have been ongoing. We will notice more as we move into winter since my son and I like to go to college hockey and basketball games.
