Gov. Phil Murphy said Monday people should not leave their homes between 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. to help stop the spread of the coronavirus. The only exceptions, according to the governor’s recommendation, would be emergency or essential travel. While not an order under Murphy’s declaration of a state of emergency, the governor said he is “strongly discouraging non-essential travel.” The measure was announced during a joint conference call with New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont. The governors also jointly announced all movie theaters, gyms, and casinos in the three states will be ordered closed at 8 p.m. Monday and will remain closed until further notice. Also, bars and restaurants will only serve take-out food. “We want everybody home — not out,” Murphy said. “We’re gonna get through this. We’re gonna get through this as one family.”

One step from martial law here in Jersey.

The “cure” is going to cause more destruction than the virus.

“The only exceptions, according to the governor’s recommendation, would be emergency or essential travel.”

So did he define essential travel?

Both the yoots and coots?

Because the virus has been seen walking around after dark.

For singles working, that only leaves a narrow time band for shopping which will increase crowding.

Exactly. They can't help themselves.

Its evidently better to be in the grocery stores during the day when they are packed instead of at night.

Exactly. In my opinion, this is a recipe for rioting.

This is too far.

He’s just trying to hurt the Trump economy.

How’s that going to stop coronavirus? Don’t you know? The Democrats live in Camelot... everything is ordered top-down:

The rain may never fall till after sundown
By eight, the morning fog must disappear
In short, there’s simply not a more congenial spot
For happy-ever-after-ing than here in Camelot

Camelot: Camelot
I know it gives a person pause
But in Camelot: Camelot
Those are the legal laws

Dane County Wisconsin, home of the “fairyland of the daiirland, Madison” has just issued an edict prohibiting any gathering of 50 or more, including, CHURCHES, theaters, schools etc. until further notice.This was effective as of 12:01AM today. This is beyond the pale. Violation of this edit can result in arrest, imprisonment and/or a fine, according to potentates in government. Orwell was a prophet!!

[DivineMomentsOfTruth]

It’s ridiculous. Especially when so many people are traveling home from work or going to work at those hours.

[ealgeone]

LOL!!!!

[Buckeye McFrog]

Don’t know about coronavirus but STDs are certainly going to plummet.
