Following the trend should give you a pretty good idea of where your state is headed that week.

That being said, the whole system is messed up and overkill, but is mainly intended for deterrence and not enforcement, and is quite porous.
Given the amount of "noise" in the data, if you've got states "on the bubble" that keep flipping in and out this seems like it's going to just cause confusion. As an honest (if stupid-sounding) question, if someone's state drops off the list does someone in NYS cease needing to quarantine? (Sarcastically: Or do they just need to go out to Connecticut for a few minutes?)

[Speaking to porosity, I have to wonder how they'd even hope to enforce anything with "paper forms collected at the airport" versus dropping a form in the bin from "Mickey Mouse" and then claiming "You lost my bloody form you idiots".]
