I think New York and California are in trouble.

They were already in terrible financial shape. If their continued lockdowns lead to a mass exodus, they are really going to be screwed on tax revenue, which is going to be bad for those who do remain there. I really hope the federal government doesn't get into the business of bailing out state governments, but I feel like we're heading in that direction.
