I'm all for precautions, have taken Covid seriously, always wear a mask, but this is making me mad. It essentially is shutting down NY state, even to its own residents. Not cool.

Exactly. The timing is just not feasible over a holiday weekend. Even if test sample could be collected on the Friday after Thanksgiving, there won't be any labs operating on Saturday or Sunday to do the processing for a PCR test.
