Trump tweeted he was considering quarantining certain parts of New Jersey, New York, and Connecticut. Waiting to see if he'll do it, if it will extend to where I am, and what it would entail.
Cuomo essentially shot this down. Seems like this is another instance where we take him seriously, but not literally. No clue how he would enforce such a directive. I understand the self-quarantining for 2 weeks when traveling, but in-country travel bans...can't see it
I saw Cuomo basically said it would be unenforceable. You'd have to have martial law for a quarantine that large. Maybe he meant a shelter in place order based on the honor system or maybe travel restrictions like Italy had where you get arrested if you leave your town. Its frustrating having to parse out these ambiguous tweets.
As someone planning on flying tomorrow...I agree. [redacted to not make it political]
I just want to know if I need to go to the store. I'm expecting people to go panic buy things now.
Is your store in Rhode Island? 😏
What else am I supposed to do in quarantine eh?
Do you expect him to drop a fully fleshed out executive order in a tweet? Or a piece of proposed legislation? He's just sharing what they're considering doing. Some of us appreciate the transparency. While others gripe and nitpick.
(Sorry not sorry for the politics. I didn't start it.)
Neighbor across the street is a pulmonary specialist MD in two hospitals here in the ATL suburbs and I got a chance to speak to him (from an appropriate distance) today and he shared the following:
1) He hasn’t done an ICU rotation yet, but his partners have said the patients they are seeing suffer the worst did have some type of pre-existing condition. Not all, as he said they’re were some w/o known issues.
2) Said hospital is 50% COVID patients at this point and he expects the peak locally to be late next week/early of the following week. This is what he and his practice are prepping for.
He isn’t a man of faith, but prayers up for him and his family as he will be in the ICU for the next two weeks!
No, I expect him not to tweet ambiguous things that could affect millions of people depending on the specifics. The appropriate thing would be to issue an order with all of the details instead of a teaser that leaves people in limbo. This isn't political. I just need to know if I should prepare.
Kasey Bro, you two are probably flying at the best time. Air travel has dwindle and not many people are in the airports and on the planes. My guess all flights are disinfected more than every after each fight.
IMO, don't worry and go. Enjoy your trip. It will probably feel like a weight is being lifted off your shoulders getting away from NYC. On a side note, don't be surprised if the TSA is taking temps at both departing and arrival checkpoints.
The problem is there is talk of restricting travel out of NYC, New Jersey, and CT.
You're aware the border with Canada is closed, right? Might should check to see if border with Canada-lite is included.
what @YaleDawg said...i'm not worried at all about flying (for the reasons you mentioned), but with the president tweeting his ideas, it makes for a bit of a scramble. Thankfully I saw what Cuomo said and feel like we won't have a problem getting out tomorrow. I'm guessing even if they decide to go thru with it, the logistics behind it can't be implemented in less than 24 hours
I understand, but I don't think flight restrictions will be put into place overnight. FAA is not State controlled. Not to say Federal and States can't make agreements, but I'm pretty sure a state can't mandate federal law in instances like this. Now I may be wrong, but I bet you a handle of Tito's V.odka that you two fly out tomorrow...based only on this..😉
