Gov. Andrew Cuomo ordered a statewide lockdown Friday that will shut down most of the Empire State — including New York City — as the state battles against the coronavirus pandemic.
The restrictions take effect Sunday night and will:
Shut down all non-essential businesses across the state, leaving just grocery stores, pharmacies and other essential operations open;
Ban all non-solitary outside activity, like outdoor basketball games and other team sports;
Require all non-essential government and private sector employees work from home

NEW: I am announcing Matilda's Law to protect NYers age 70+ and those with compromised immune systems:
-Remain indoors
-Pre-screen visitors by taking temperature
-Visitors should wear masks
-Stay 6 feet away from others
We are laser focused on protecting those most at risk.— Andrew Cuomo (@NYGovCuomo) March 20, 2020
Attention New Yorkers: Non-essential gatherings of individuals of ANY size for ANY reason are cancelled at this time. #StayAtHome #StopTheSpread pic.twitter.com/vH6oniwFW0— Andrew Cuomo (@NYGovCuomo) March 20, 2020
If everyone is ordered to stay at least 6 feet away from others, does this mean I can drive 100 mph down the New York State Thruway without getting a speeding ticket?
Why is media exempted?
This competes for a slot in the top 5 acts of tyranny of any government in the United States. And Trump supports it, having said it this morning. Bu the way, this would not fly in Alabama.
The rat Governors are taking turns escalating the restrictions. So now not even carry out in NY? This is f’n insane.
Yes, “personal freedom” in Noo Yawk?! Haha! I’ll believe that when NY implements shall-issue concealed-carry permits.
They wonder why people are still hoarding.
Next up,
Gov. DeWine walks to the mic
Hey Fredo, we have medication that prevents AND cures the Wuhan Flue, it is called chloroquine, it is used for malaria and has been tested and approved by the FDA since 1945.
Fredo, are you part of the problem or part of the solution?
LMAO. Pinging someone from another thread on this ...

Cuomo is NOT the sort of leader needed for a crisis. He’s an average IQ and political hack, raised in a political family, who has ZERO experience outside the world of elected politics. The man has less real-world experience and perspective than a 9 year-old child.
Take it seriously y’all. New York is seeing an explosion in cases, and the hospitals are filling up. Hearing it from doctors. I pray New Yorkers stay in their state and do not start driving south. Doctors are incensed that the public is not listening. Please, they are putting their own lives and their families lives on the line.
We need LIFE to have liberty. We can fight and claw our way back after this is all over.
My nephew said that is exactly what people are doing. Also coughing on their wallets and licenses.

I’m reading the idiots fawning over his every utterance on his twitter account saying he needs to run in place of Joe.
Good for you. My son lives in Santa Monica and defied the order to go for his normal run today. Not too many people out there to spread diseases at 5a (except the homeless in Venice).
Now he’s packing up his car and pointing it East to head to my house in AZ where things might stay saner for a while longer.
Oh, and I did my 5 today, but my state is relatively free still.
Good luck to all of us, and happy trails.
