WASHINGTON President Donald Trump said Saturday that he was considering an "enforceable quarantine" in the New York, New Jersey and Connecticut area, saying the decision could come as soon as later in the day.
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.

Massive eye roll right now. Is that you, Alex?
Seems like the states with Dem leadership are the brunt of the numbers, are they all Sanctuary States, or large Sanctuary cities in thei states ? Where are all the Sanctuary Cities ???
Does this virus affect certain ethnic groups more than others, or do we know nothing of those demographics ?
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.
Well you have had weeks to shut down your subways, and chose not to NYC. So now that your situation is out of your control and you are asking everyone else to bail out your ass, guess what...NYC gets to “stay at home”.
Insert I told you so remark here for later use. LOL.
HOORAY Chief. Let those socialists stew in their bat soup. Cancel the baseball season or players will have to hit with their arms. Too many bats I’m those dugouts. Save us! The ‘rats would be all for it. Tell them about the bats.
The fiasco was the Metro NY airport arrival bottleneck of about two weeks ago.
One out of every 1,000 persons was probably infected.
People should have been screened in Europe and told to show their passport picture page to a USCIS agent in a scuba suit and go home without using public transit.
As a resident of the Garden State, I’m not happy, but I know it will be temporary.
I actually had a feeling it would come to this... as absurd as this has become.
Hope they let us go to Stop n Shop at least....!
The last thing people should be doing is fleeing the State. People need to buck up and deal.
Earlier this week Florida’s Governor DeSantis ordered state law enforcement presence at all Florida airports to detain passengers on all incoming flights originating from New York and New Jersey to enforce a 14-day quarantine. Have not heard one word more about it since then. Our question was where was he planning to hold all of the detainees? Our other question was, what are the airlines thinking, allowing New Yorkers to break their lock down orders and board flights to Florida? Wouldn’t that trigger some sort of illegal interstate transport issue?
Yep. I keep saying that. We continuously move more and more towards doing that every day.
Eventually they will be locking people down by force.
Aww shit! He's trolling the media. Some people may be Cuomo.
Time to blow the bridges and send Snake Plissken in to hunt Cuomo down and get him off the TV!
Reverse psychology?
Cuomo will now declare New York “open for business!”
While it’s locked down send Rudy in to fetch the Weiner laptop.
And shouldn’t AOC be back in her home district where she’d have to stay?
Either I heard it on the news or I read it someplace online — something about potential enforceable quarantines being delineated at the county level.
So that may be what is in store here...
Trump himself just said it while leaving the White House a few minutes ago.
This will affect over 20 million people (including myself)
Build the wall now.
Do you have a month’s worth of necessary supplies?
I was in North Jersey last week to resupply my mom. She’s not good with online shopping, but I can do that for her from here. I suggested she come back with me. No go. She happily agreed to Easter, but I’d have to go get her, which I will if I can.

Fox news said about a week ago that this was ‘way higher’ than regular flues- not sure how they figured that?
