Telling people to remain calm and simultaneously forcing people to remain in their homes would seem to be a contradiction in messaging; potentially only worsening the panic. However, this is one of those, well, yes its unconstitutional except when . moments, that may have rather profound consequences.
The Democrat mayor of Hoboken New Jersey has announced a mandatory curfew between 10pm and 5am where all residents are not permitted to exit their residence; and all bars must close due to the coronavirus.
I dont know if this is the first mandatory coronavirus curfew, or even how such an effort could feasibly be enforced, but its likely not going to be the last:.
New Jersey 10:45pm ET Hoboken Mayor Ravinder Bhalla announced a citywide curfew will be in effect starting Monday. The curfew also places major restrictions on bars and restaurants.
The curfew will be in effect from 10 p.m.- 5 a.m.starting on Monday, and until further notice. Residents will be required to stay home, except for emergencies, or if needed at work by their employer.
As of 11 a.m. Sunday, bars that do not serve food will not be permitted to operate at all. All other bars and restaurants are no longer permitted to serve food within the establishment, and can only sell takeout or delivery. (read more)
What the HELL is a curfew going to accomplish?????
Rats — opportunistic control freaks.
obedience
Well everybody acting like bitches, even so called “conservatives” have whipped this faggot of a virus that can barely kill anyone under 60 and in good health into such a frenzy that dems will take and hold as much power as they can from the situation.
Now all of you who are terrified here, do your masters’ bidding.
When I went to to check out my local store. They had a plethora of corned beef and cabbage. Beer was getting low.
Absolutely.
Seems so may forgot what Ben Franklin said about sacrificing freedom for security
What? COVID-19 keeps office hours?
Never been to Hoboken.
Is there anything there that is really worth staying up and out past 10PM?
Or is it a crime-ridden hellhole where you’re probably better staying off the streets?
Yeah, by late night shopping I avoid the panicked TP buyers! ;-) I didn’t know that “SARS-CoV-2” was nocturnal in nature?!?!? “Social-Distancing” is much aided by late/night early morning activities! Like to hear the rational for a curfew.
It’s pretty nice. My niece lives there.
“Lets see if they shutter liquor stores”
It’s already happening in Pennsylvania and no, I’m not kidding.
It will ruin the economy just in time for the election and they think it will lessen President Trumps chances on winning re-election. This is what I believe.
It's total BS...
Hugs... nice to see you, hope the family is safe!
I am now stuck in Hawaii, and they just finished testing (l think) 32 people :/
If I catch it, oh well..
Stats still show flu killing more people, but it is still early. Don’t panic (like the media tries to do), just prepare..
;>)
Well...if it's a good time to go out, there could soon be more! Who was it who said, "Nobody goes there anymore, it's too crowded."
Seriously, now, from what I've heard about Hoboken and its general vicinity, this curfew won't go over well.
Agree 100%
That it is, FRiend, that it is . . .
Yes I saw those closures.
Id suggest that that Mayor Ravinder Bhalla decree that there can be NO MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER AT A TIME IN DONUT SHOPS AND CONVENIENCE STORES SUCH AS 7-11.
Will he do that? Not a chance...it wouldnt advance his clear agenda.
Probably this...
