Yes, the horses are gone, but by all means close the barn doors...

Those of us in downstate Illinois and the whole state of Wisconsin have been wishing for a wall around Chitcago for years. But I suspect those that have a place to go to have already left. As for the rest, normal traffic congestion would pretty well bottle the place up.

Maybe it was the first state to panic and start the personal behavior changes before any were actually mandated.

I know that when I heard the people dropping like flies in the nursing home I started extra prepping.
This is just total speculation by myself.

Another thing is that it could be was that it is relatively easy to track down recent visitors to that nursing and warn them.

I sure wish more freepers would not just act like experts all the time AND, who trusts the numbers given by Washington states government anyway?

By warning about the potential quarantine, aren't you just telling New Yorkers to flee now. I hop the Florida National Guard’s air defense units are ready to fire at the swarm of jets coming south.

It’s better to make them stay put, and provide lots of support in terms of supplies and medical care, than to shut down the whole country and drive a significant number of our businesses and families into a bankruptcy from which they may never recover.

I do hope the POTUS differentiates between the NYC metro area and the Adirondacks and Finger Lakes regions...Upstate NY does not require quarantine...other than to keep NYC out.

They need to blow some bridges. Shut down the airports.

SOME of the horses are gone, so by all means close the barn doors so the rest of the horses stay in.

It’s not “all or nothing”!

Just because a few Zombies got out, you don’t want the hoard to get out.

As they go house to house spreading the virus to see if you’re being safe from the virus.

My wife was Jonesing for takeout yesterday and we kinda live in the Boonies down here in Central FL. Since I was in the Publix parkinglot, I drove the isles and counted NY license plates. Easy to see with that Orange. I counted 23. That is way beyond normal. Most NYers don’t do Central FL and I was 25 miles for the tourist sections. Before the NYC lockdown, there was one direct flight a day. Now there are 40+ and they are going back EMPTY. I long time resident from The Villages (largest 55+ retirement community in the world) said that he had never seen so many kids playing outside before. This is NOT a time where you typically see families down here AT ALL. We are two weeks behind New York. So are other spots. Good God it is about to get ugly. It all folks are talking about on talk radio down here.... Even our long term NY transplants down here are pissed.

It very well could. He might also be securing all state level and Fema assets and supply lines.

Even as things continue to improve, wouldn’t this be the worst time for a terrotist strike on infrastructure?

We have several hundred thousand recent Chinese immigrants in Eastern King County.

My god! I figure MILLIONS of "immigrants" just come and go. It seems so long ago when the left would pee themselves over the "wall" and POTUS trying to stop filth from sh*tholes waltzing into America by all approaches. Look what we have now: the god damn worst case scenario!

IF” they were to quarantine anyone, why not New York since it has half the numbers in the whole US?

Big Blue should be quarantined with the mayor of NYC and their wonderful governor.

In the past recent arrivals were screened for health problems. If they were sick they were held in quarantine. If they had something like TB which was a threat to the population they were sent back. Even with the Travel ban against China that started at the end of December... all they did was fly into Vancouver Canada instead of Seattle and then take the bus back here. No health screening required.

Most of the spread has come from International airports and the inkand air hubs of Chicago, Denver, an Atlanta

Still sounds like a good reason to blow the bridges,
