President Trump on Saturday night said the administration would not be issuing a quarantine on New York, parts of New Jersey and some of Connecticut as part of the efforts to curb the spread of the coronavirus.

"A quarantine will not be necessary," he tweeted, noting that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) would issue a "travel advisory" later in the evening.

It’s probably too late anyway. Many New Yorkers already fled their liberal paradise.


Yep, which while it doesn’t explain anywhere near all of the red dots, it does explain a lot of them.

“Trump floated the idea of Federal
quarantine and Cuomo immediately wet the bed.”
****************************************
Mission accomplished Mr. President. Trump “floated” the possibility and Cuomo (and comrades) came out and said “hell no”. Trump is now “inoculated” from later hysterics saying he should have blockaded New York.

They’ll still find something to whine about/blame, later.

Just like they have with everything else, about this virus in their tri-state area.

So sick of these lying libs.

You are presenting a false choice.
The economy cannot improve while the virus is running rampant.

Travel advisory says my cousin in Phoenix shouldn’t visit me. It says nothing about me visiting her. Net affect...less than zero.

Sounds like the CDC was pushing for the quarantine.

Cuomo admitted today again that the state has no money, but he’s insinuating it's because of the Coronavirus expenses, which is a crock of baloney. He knew from the get go NY was already broke and why he never prepared and was screaming it was the Governments responsibility to help them. Cuomo's one of the biggest scam artists there is! He'll be certain to make himself smell like a rose when all is said and done...and everything else is the Governments fault.

Yep.

That’s his modus operandi....blame, blame, obfuscate, and blame some more.

NEVER taking responsibility.

Where did you read/hear that?

Why would POTUS not go along w/CDC, on this?

He also admitted today he was stock piling medical equipment etc. as reserves. He’ll sell them to other countries and or play the hero.

He better fork them over to states like FL, or wherever else his escapees are going.

Even Detroit...which is the upcoming hot spot.

What a dog.

Trump should turn around and put the whole tri-state area in quarantine with no warning on Monday, including federalizing the NG if those states to block roads, bridges and and tunnels, and closing all airports and helipads. Give them massive amounts of hydroxychloroquine, z-packs and zinc so that massive preventative actions can be taken. But shut down the ability of selfish NYers to infect the rest of the country and totally screw everyone else medically and financially.

This is Cuomo’s, DeCommio’s and the NYC Health Commissioner’s fault -let THEM live with the political consequences and spare the rest of us the physical and financial consequences.

Just like it can’t with the flu, which 300,000 - 600,000 die from a season?

Get real. Ignore COVID-19 as a problem except for older people with three serious health issues (these people made up the majority of Italy’s deaths).

You have it backwards. Cuomo didn't want a quarantine...in fact, he was quite vocal and mad about it this afternoon.

I think in the end, Trump probably had no legal authority (because his legal staff was looking into that) and without the 3 governors approval, how would you enforce?

That would be a logistical nightmare, so Trump backed down.

False. The flu virus...in fact, several different flu viruses run rampant every year, with tens of thousands of deaths and tens of millions of infected souls and yet...and yet...and yet, we somehow manage to survive and thrive.

I think it was a trial balloon intended to put Fredo’s Bro in the hotseat.

Because the logistics of enforcing the quarantine without the cooperation of the 3 governors would be a complete nightmare. It would be a disaster forcing an unwanted quarantine.

It would be a complete news feast of a feuding president and 3 governors. Trump would have to take control of the National Guard - it would be a complete fiasco from a logistics point of view. Trump made the best decision given the circumstances.

Thank God that President Trump disagrees with you.
