President Donald Trump said on Saturday that he’s considering ordering a quarantine on New York as the number of COVID-19 cases continues to skyrocket in the state.
As I asked in the other thread, how exactly is Trump’s quarantine going to be any different than the stay at home orders already put in place by the tri-state governors? Other than that Donnie doesn’t like it that Cuomo has become the face of rational, competent governing in the time of COVID-19 and wants to steal some attention for himself?
The Orange Menace is again pretending to be a President after the fact. The horses fled the barn long ago but only now he wants to close them so he can crow to his base what a great President he is. " I closed the barn doors and protected you all !!! Praise me for my great decision! " I prefer to read dystopian novels than to actually have to experience it personally. At least I can close a book.
It’s a travel quarantine. Exit the state’s borders and you’re put in 14 day quarantine. At gunpoint. Really. Rhode Island is implementing this today for NY residents.
The Jackass - “Because they’re having problems down in Florida, a lot of New Yorkers going down there. We don’t want that.”
Actually this is the time of year that the “snowbirds” (retirees) return to the North after spending the winter in FL. Could just as well be going the other way too.
BTW. The center of white retired Americans, The Villages in FL now has 50 cases confirmed and has pretty much shut down.
