That maybe why reservists were activates.

Be interesting to see how Gov. Kumo reacts. He’s been ragging Trump’s ass from day one about how he’s bungled everything. Be careful what you wish for Gov.

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

Patton didn't give orders from DC. He went to the front. And that meant personal contact with the boys who were going to faithfully follow his command.

Valley Forge is another good example.

Morale is an important part of any war.

Building a wall around target areas. Makes sense. Cuomo should have done it already.

“Some people would like to see New York quarantined because its a hot spot. New York, New Jersey, maybe one or two other places. Certain parts of Connecticut quarantined,” Trump said as he left the White House en route of Norfolk, Va. to see off the USNS Comfort, a Navy hospital ship that is headed to New York to provide extra hospital space to help fight the outbreak.

More like telling them to get their socks properly packed...last I heard, he authorized activating NG and Reservists but hadn't taken action.

The cat is already out of the bag, this thing is very contagious. Where we live in Washington we were hit early and deaths and serious cases are already declining. Fortunately, the worst case scenarios were off by a factor of dozens of times. The reasons my friends on the fire department that I used to work for have been hammered hard is because young people with no symptoms and not in a risk group have been freaking out and jamming the 911 system demanding that they get tested. Everyone wants to be able to claim they were infected before the thing goes away.

This should have been done a week ago....HOWEVER...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.

And I’m a Pennsylvanian.

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

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.
