Nothing to do with being special; rather, it's about basic common sense.
There is something of a parallel here, imperfect obviously, with the EU. Should one country in the EU with a low infection rate be restricted because of countries such as Italy?
For instance, Wyoming has had two deaths so far from coronavirus. Population adjusted, that is similar to New Zealand's rate. Will probably have very few cases because they are so spread out. Does it really make sense to restrict them as much as people from Queens? Let's use our heads here.
