Why are you using the 19MAR stay-at-home order as the threshold rather than the 04MAR emergency declaration?

Also, various corporations were already enacting travel-related policies for their employees in mid/late February.

The stay-at-home orders more closely captured when I saw people's behaviour radically change, instead of the state of emergency declarations.

If you're curious for a more objective measure of when mass behaviour started to change, you can look at data like Opentable's seated dining reservations[0] or mobile-device travel data[1].
