The White House on Monday denied that it’s considering a national curfew in response to the coronavirus outbreak.

“That’s not even in the realm of things we’re asking governors for,” said Katie Miller, a spokeswoman for Vice President Mike Pence, who is leading the Trump administration’s response to COVID-19.

“There are a lot of rumors,” Miller said. “I promise you, I’m sitting in every single meeting… so I can give you guys a yes or no.”

Jim Scuitto of CNN tweeted Monday morning: “There are active discussions within the Trump administration to encourage a possible ‘curfew’ across the nation in which non-essential businesses would have to close by a certain time each night.”

They will never tell you that they will anyway until it is implemented.

A national curfew is basically unenforceable.

Even the idea of a national curfew in a country that doesn't protect its own borders is a joke.

Eventually, if a governor refuses - it will be a national order. People here can't see the writing on the wall.

I don't think so. I think we are just about at a tipping point. They have way over played this. My God, less then 6800 deaths world wide and they have shut down the economy. People are not going to take this much longer. And it will begin in the cities, there will be riots in the streets by the end of the week.

[DarthVader]

With some of the new breakthroughs in situational awareness, sensing, surveillance and force projection you will be amazed at what can be done today.

[LegendHasIt]

Because President Trump is smart enough to realize that the virus isn’t only communicable at night.

Unlike all these idiot mayors and governors.

But then none of this is really about controlling the spread of the virus... It is about totalitarians getting practice at controlling the people.

Look - I can’t help it that you don’t understand Nd+1=(1+e*p)N*d where the Nd+1=1.2809. Israel DOES. Smart people DO. Do nothing - and you have ZERO impact on 1.2809. I guess you never got out of FOM and on to Algebra II or calculus. Sorry. I’m glad Pence and his team did.

[HangnJudge]

Quarantines and medical emergencies are state and local level issues, idiot

[Antoninus]

Apparently, it’s only half a lie. The Dem controlled states like NJ, CT, and NY are imposing ridiculous curfews. It’s almost like they want rioting.

[Danette]

My brother was going to come for a short visit this week from MN. He was going to drive to MO. His work told him that if he leaves the state then he will have to take the next two weeks off work in quarantine!

[KobraKai]

The MSM has yet to be held account for any of its myriad transgressions. When this is over, they’ll present us with the next outrage they are assuredly preparing as we speak.

[Alberta's Child]

Oh, I'm sure the government has the CAPABILITY to do it. My point is that there is no WILL to do it ... mainly because it is a useless waste of time and resources.

Imposing a national curfew at a time like this is like shutting down a child's lemonade stand because he or she doesn't have a tax ID number or a permit from the health department.

[DarthVader]

They will likely impose it in the hardest hit areas and for sure. This incident is no accident.

[JoSixChip]

I guess you never got out of FOM and on to Algebra II or calculus.

I'm an electrical engineer, and been through ordinary differential equations. I've done a little math. It's been a few months and there are less then 6800 deaths world wide. Numbers don't lie, the msm dies.

[9YearLurker]

CNN are scum, but none of the denials are actually about what CNN reported. CNN didn’t say they were taking those measures, only that they were being discussed.

Which makes me think that in this rare case CNN is probably correct in its reporting.

[Alberta's Child]

Pennsylvania has imposed an order closing bars and restaurants in something like six counties. And yet Philadelphia -- one of the hardest hit counties -- isn't one of them.

Go figure.

It's best just to ignore these losers and go by your own instincts. This country is governed by people who couldn't even motivate you to flee from a burning house.

[DarthVader]

The imposition I’m talking about will eventually be national (if it already isn’t) and can be justified. We are utilizing policies now that are SOP for chem/bio attacks.

[NELSON111]

Then go plot it out 60 days and get back with me. You are right - numbers do not lie. The only reason it stopped in places like Korea and China is 1) they tested massively and 2) took massive action in social distancing - things you are denying. Without that two things=Italy. Goodbye.

Right. And Congress is getting ready to vote on legislation to overturn the President's international travel restrictions.

Just like we import and train Saudi pilots at our own 'effing military bases after 9/11.

It's amazing how many people willingly relegate themselves to a state in life where they function no differently than livestock.

[NELSON111]

And until you plot it out - using the rate of increase - extrapolating out 2 months - DO NOT REPLY. When you do - give me that number. You know math - so you should be able to tell me the number. DO the math.
