Trump: I am giving consideration to a QUARANTINE of developing “hot spots”, New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. A decision will be made, one way or another, shortly.

I am giving consideration to a QUARANTINE of developing “hot spots”, New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. A decision will be made, one way or another, shortly.

[tomkat]

Agreed, with all of that.

“I’m in Los Angeles where our mayor expects us to be this way for months more. Can you please give me “rational” “fact driven” “data” about why this is ridiculous so I can share with others? Thanks.”

How about the fact that it doesn’t seem to be more infectious than the flu and the death rates about the same. Do we shut down the entire economy for the flu every year where am I missing something? It’s amazing how many Chicken Littles there are in the world.

So how many troops will it take to cut off every road, railroad, river, and any other way to get into and out of New Jersey, New York, and Connecticut?

Just shutting down roads, passenger rail and airports will stop almost everyone.

I’ve had to deal with that. We ended up paying them to leave. Then the idiot had the nerve to list us as a reference!

Do you think you’d have much luck renting right now if it were open?

[rfp1234]

Except Zeldin and Stefanik.

[independentmind]

Yep.

New Jersey is a peninsula.

[CJ Wolf]

Jersey might have a few Jersey barriers left. Keep the trucks for delivery.

[TheWriterTX]

Lots of people on Long Island own boats. Need to shut down the waterways, too.

[Incorrigible]

Perfect!

 

[rfp1234]

I don’t think the quarantine would apply to commerce and trucking, just to humans traveling in and out. A tall order to enforce, nonetheless.

[nevermorelenore]

I agree

My tolerance of ridiculousness is waning

We used to rent houses and one particularly bad tenant finally just disappeared into the night after burning the place to the ground.

It was a lucky break for us, we took the ins money, cleaned up the lot and never rebuilt.

Killary and Cumo won’t be able to travel to Milwaukee for the Rat convention. Win-win.

The plague ship infecting the rest of the country. Sanctuary state/city advocating open borders, free healthcare & education for illegals, and spreading a disease Americans won't do.

Total cumulative CV fatalities thru 3/28

[farming pharmer]

Red England quarantine? Should have been done 20 years ago...

[quantim]

And all this talk about how this country is completely ideologically opposed these days, just wait a few months when all the blue cities are infecting the red areas.

No good ending to this.

[Renegade]

They will only cut off North Jersey near New York and Newark.

[Jane Long]

Agree and agree.

[semantic]

Prior was thru 3/27. It gets worse for 3/28.

“I’ll ask again... this is constitutional, how ?”

It is as Constitutional as the orders given by Lincoln to have Federal troops completely devastate and destroy the civilian South.

Lincoln is praised for it.
