NY/NJ/CT going under Federal lock-down.. Somehow

[RickTheToad]

President Trump will be announcing a Federally enforced lock down for the NYC Metro area. I assume that will include all NYC boroughs, Long Island, Westchester, Rockland, Fairfield County, CT, Essex County, NJ, Bergen County, NJ, Hudson County, NJ, Passaic County, NJ, and Union County, NJ. Governor's not on board, but Trump says tough sh it.

This is going to an interesting experiment. @Amante Silvestre, looks like you may get your hazard pay @12k per week after all.

@RickTheToad you're in Queens, right? How is it? I've seen some spooky pics of Manhattan, empty streets.

Born/raised in Queens, I'm in Bridgeport, CT, which is in Fairfield County, CT. I see people all over the place. It's packed at the hospital.

Heh, States' Rights... sure. I guess we'll have a Constitutional Crisis after all, just not what anyone saw coming.

Yes, if enough NY’ers think fleeing NY and going to Florida, Rhode Island, or wherever is going to save them from the virus event, then the President needs to put the most heavily infected area in the US on lockdown ASAP.
He cannot let individuals fear level contribute to the spread…

I called it. And in return my thread got closed.

Realize this nation is now on a health war footing and national interest has precedence over States rights if necessary .…

Rightly so.

I've been galavanting throughout Asia when SARs 1st hit, didn't even bother wearing a mask back then, airports were still functioning, just extra checking and removing people with high temperatures.

Now, I'm wearing a mask, have a hand sanitizers in my pockets, airports are like in the Zombies movies, and right now in South East Asia, cities are virtually empty, everyone is hunkered down.

It's not being AFRAID or BRAVER, it's being RESPONSIBLE enough to NOT spread it to those that's vulnerable.

There's a lot of ways for a person to die, don't add covid 19 into the equation.

14 days or even a month is something everyone should be able to sacrifice - watching TV at home.

Fake News its just a travel advisory. #sensationalism

President Trump just said a federal lockdown wont be necessary, it's just a travel advisory at this point....

 

[RickTheToad]

I guess I'll owe the PAN-dem-IC-ers an apology, if anyone gets shot brealing curfew. Where's Snake Pliskin when ya need him?

You can Escape from NY, but not LA right now. LOL.

The Warriors are about to come out to playayay...

Did you like the movie, The Warriors? It was a bit boring for me.

Yes, he backed off a few hours after I posted this. The scientists and virologists have mixed views on how this will end. Many though think this will be over in June. However, the damage and aftermath will be felt through the next few months after.

Yeah, I thought it was overrated. I don't remember much about it now. The differently-dressed gangs were cool. Mostly I remember them fighting in the park, and the final scene in Coney Island, and the end credits with the Eagles' "In The City." I think it's one of those movies that has a lasting reputation in spite of just being okay, like Saturday Night Fever.

Did know that classic scene of warrrrriooorrrss come out to plaaaaay wasn't scripted?

Considering that P'lousy's nephew was content to ignore the bubonic plague resurging in California, I'm surprised Gavin waited for the Kung Flu before declaring a state of emergency.

Former nephew-in-law. They are not blood related. One's Italian, the other is Irish.

My local university had two cases pop up in a dorm, and now all students in that dorm are under mandatory quarantine. They are mostly international students who had nowhere to go after classes were cancelled.

Cities will be quarantined last, if at all. The first quarantines will be like that dorm, locking down apartment buildings when a case is discovered. I sure as hell would not want to live in multi unit housing right now. If you do, and someone gets sick, they lock you in with the sick people.

That's gotta be one of the greatest ad libs of all time...

It's right up there will Bill Paxton in Aliens:
"That's it, man. Game Over, man, Game Over!"
