Those so-called "hot spots" actually include most of the states in the country. The 14 day quarantine is an absolute business killer because most business trips, from my own experience before I retired, are usually one to five days. Is a business executive who flies from LA or Chicago to NYC for a one or two day meeting supposed to quarantine himself for fourteen days on arrival before his meeting? Kiss goodbye to whatever is left of the air line, hotel, and restaurant businesses.

Fine with me. I don’t go to cities anymore. To much BLM trouble there.

Trust me - the Marxists and Globalists have not yet begun to tighten the screws.

Things will get even worse this fall.

They have a war plan, and they are executing it with the precision of a Blitzkrieg.

And we are getting overrun.

I keep waiting for President Trump's counter attack.

And waiting...….

I see this as a practice run on controlling the citizens.

So they are threatening to shut off power and light 48 hours after the party? That makes sense.

Except what are they doing to actually enforce these quarantines? I’ve got a friend in Hong Kong quarantine right now. THAT’S a quarantine. He had to put apps on his phone, check in multiple times a day, and the cops come to visit. Not allowed to leave the hotel room, at all. That’s a quarantine. Other than advising are we actually doing anything?

NYC is the most enforceable where all routes in and out are by bridge or air, except to and from Long Island.

Its’ possible to take a Ferry to LI and just drive into NYC though.

What if people just don’t pay the fines?

That gym owner in NJ said the judge is fining him $10,000 per day for staying open.

The democrats are realizing they don’t need the presidency to implement their communist policies. They can start in their democrat controlled cities and states.

[PIF]

Cities go to extremes with quarantine crackdowns: Checkpoints, power shutoffs, steep fines, firing squads

[ealgeone]

Imagine if they went after gangs with this kind of gusto.

Leftists think that everyone agrees with them:

TRUMP IS THE PROBLEM.

By merely existing, he’s FORCING people to burn down cities.

They believe this to be a winning strategy. It’s because they don’t listen, and they insist on imposing their ideas by force.

[CincyRichieRich]

I believe now the Democrat leadership knows is over. Still causing as much damage to the cities that is possible. I believe on purpose to cause people to flee and leave President Trump a mess to clean up in the cities. They can afford to lose some citizens. By doing so they improved their voting numbers in the location that the people who move to. In my business in Cincinnati I have taken on three clients who called out of the blue from Portland. I believe that is noteworthy.

But cities' coronavirus measures go beyond that. Many places, including Washington, D.C., Chicago, New York City and others now have rules requiring people coming from coronavirus hotspots to self-quarantine for 14 days after their arrival. In Chicago, this is communicated by ubiquitous variable-message road signs above the highway warning travelers that if they are arriving from a place with elevated coronavirus case counts, they are not welcome until they isolate for 14 days.

How hard is it to simply say you're coming from a non-"hotspot" location? TX plates doesn't mean you came from there, maybe you have family in TN or old friends in VA Beach that you just stayed with for a week or two. What if your flight from some other "hotspot" was just a connector, and you didn't even get off the plane? Does that count? Likewise, can you bypass the restriction if you do a connector leg so your flight into NY is from Nowhere, Idaho? Does that State even have any cases?

Or, maybe you already "quarantined" with a friend in town, so when the cops stop you, you've already been there the "required" two weeks of wait time? How are they gonna verify that? Chicago's notification method is road signs, so apparently there's no check-in desk for anyone coming in to town to get your punch card for your quarantine count?
