A national shut down should have happened 3 weeks ago along with borders and airports. We’d already have it under control if the rest of the world had done the same. Piddly little areas here and there aren’t going to do much in the long run.
Ultimately it has to be voluntary compliance. There obviously aren’t enough LEOs to enforce the order on a state the physical size of CA with 39 million people. I might expect a few high-profile arrests of flagrant violators to drive home that this is serious and to create shame. But wholesale enforcement? No way is that possible.
*sigh* Yeah.
Fortunately, people in the administration are denying that for the time being. I think it is entirely unnecessary for now.
“Has our beloved DJT lost his mind?”
No.
He’s responding to the panic people on both sides of the spectrum peddled for clicks, and views.
I don't think so. I think he's playing several moves ahead of my ken, yet again.
Mongo just pawn in game of life...
Just got word from a friend who knows someone in the LA National Guard and the word is that LA will go into enforced lock-down tomorrow...the son is in SC and has seen a lot of large-truck convoys moving into place...
No national shutdown. Just closing all borders and stopping all int’l flights 3 weeks ago would have been fine.
Good luck enforcing that in East LA or Compton...
Maybe the place to start is here -->
'A hopeful change' as 3 Chinese airlines resume SFO flights (California)
March 18, 2020, SF Gate"While most U.S. airlines are cutting flights to historically low numbers because of the coronavirus pandemic, three mainland Chinese carriers plan to resume non-stop flights to San Francisco International Airport this month, a move SFO officials said “marks a hopeful change in direction.” The resumption of flights is one of several early signs that the worst could be over in China, meaning the crisis will eventually come to an end here, too. China Eastern will resume a daily non-stop flight this month between its hub in Shanghai and San Francisco using a Boeing 777-300ER jet. Flights are expected to start on Saturday, March 28.
Air China plans to resume non-stop flights between Beijing and San Francisco this Saturday March 21 (TOMORROW!) with flights operating on a limited schedule, and on sporadic days throughout the week.
Economy class fares are selling for north of $3,000, a staggering price tag considering round-trip fares on this route were typically sub-$600 before the coronavirus crisis.
Air China did not entirely stop serving SFO during the peak of the outbreak in China. It flew flights four times a week to Los Angeles. After a 90-minute stop at LAX, those flights continued north to SFO. The Chinese carrier had a similar arrangement on the U.S. East Coast: flights flew from Beijing to New York’s Kennedy Airport and then onwards to Washington-Dulles Airport and vice versa.
LA as in Louisiana...My mind told me that it might be taken for La-La Land when I typed it.
That sounds more like a yes.
Definitely a trap flubro!
You’re calling ME a flubro????
It was a no.
Not sure how you got a yes from my admitting he’s far smarter and more skilled than I am, but there ya go...
Good luck with those swamp Cajuns, then...
You know the definition! In short, a flubro is one who thinks this is all an overhyped flu being pumped by the media industrial complex.
That's why I didn't ping the 200 or so member emerging pandemics ping list to your FluBro only thread.
But I guess since you think I'm a FluBro, maybe I should?
That is my question also.
BTW, you ought to see the RV parks around here. Full of CA RVs that “escaped” CA before the shoe dropped.
