I don’t know of anyone trying to get to NYC, except antifa types.

"“The idea is we don’t want to penalize people,” de Blasio said at his daily press briefing. “We want to educate them, we want to make sure they’re following the rules.”"

The real idea is to control people.

Cops enforcing this rule need to be defunded.

I-95 comes in over the GWB, the busiest bridge in the world.

Are we getting 50+ nation-states and nation-cities now? Just every leader proclaims whatever they want? County health directors don’t have to follow governor’s instructions about schools? Why not make the fine a million?

I think you will find most of those people have no interest in going to that socialist hell hole of NY at all, so this is just grandstanding by the pols. Nobody is trying to go there. LOL.

You’d be surpised. We were Downstate recently. We saw a lot of out if state vehicles.

May I recommend that the 35 states on NY’s list start fining people $20,000 for trying to enter their state. Seems fair.

Maryland. Our rates are up, too, and some city in our state (probably Baltimore) wishes to “defund” its police department.

I have no plans to go back to NYC — last there in 2016 — anyhow, unless maybe to slip in and out of Staten Island, the only safe borough left.

Do you see this Texas Order as Draconian?

Restricting the movement of sick people is quarantine. Restricting the movement of healthy people is tyranny.

Yes, there is a clear law about interfering with trade between the states. Between cities? who knows. This is clearly ComDem Insanity.
