It says visitors, but I assume this applies to NY,NJ,CT residents returning from a trip to hot spots as well?

Turnabout is fair play, I guess!

This is a powerful statement and decision by these three (3) Governors. Where is PA on all of this ?

NY needs to protect their hard choices, sacrifices, and hard work for the past several months. They live in conditions that will easily exacerbate spread. Their scientifically based defining factors for their restrictions are brilliant. States that seem to be angling for conceptualized herd immunity can party with themselves.

I am in one of these three states and I have a trip planned to CA next month. It is looking like my trip is going to be cancelled as CA is seeing a resurgence of Covid and my guess is they will eventually be added to the list of states for quarantine.

Most of my family and many of my friends live in NYC. The only people they need to be afraid of is their own population. I am being told more people are not wearing masks then are. I first heard it from mom, then my cousin and now friends. It is only a matter of time the numbers start going up there again.

Can't argue with the underlined point at all but with respect to the bolded point, where was this brilliance early on when NYC was slow to close schools and take this virus seriously?
It seems Cuomo must have had a come-to-Jesus moment at some point - better late than never.

Obviously, Cuomo is not the only player in the NY game but he could have been much more proactive earlier than he was.

I'm really sorry to hear that people there aren't continuing to protect the progress they've made. It has been hard-earned. I was impressed that so many New Yorkers actually did what it took to combat that precipitous rise in hospitalizations. It truly is a community effort.

Starting in late December/early January following the murmurs, I had my nose to papers and online medical lectures. I knew I didn't know enough to decide on my appropriate level of concern. Scientific facts grew my concern. I have never lived through anything like this. This has and will be a momentous learning opportunity in so many ways. I hope.

Hindsight is 20/20.

It seemed like politicians had to go and look up old books to acknowledge what their powers and responsibilities were. Our supposed, large and federally funded, protection agencies didn't seem to be prepared for anything.

I hadn't even followed Gov Cuomo prior to his daily briefings. He was the only leadership I could find that spoke to my fact-based inquiries, discussed strategies, and came out with plans that made sense. He also consulted experts for that which he didn't know.

New York and their partnering states have done well given the task. I applaud them.

I doubt any would have listened earlier. Best case had restrictions been mandated from a federal level.

Still, Dr. Richard Besser, former acting director of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said no state has yet effectively reopened its economy safely.

Now we have at least 5 states with 14 day quarantines: Hawaii, Maine, New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. This seems like just the beginning. How many more states will shut down to travel? I am feeling more and more trapped everyday!

I commiserate with you. I am lost without future plans and travel reservations. I must learn to deal, but there be wine.

Given the state of New York was a corona virus epicenter, well.....just wow.

Moving on.

HA. Came to Florida last month to escape NYC. Now have to quarantine when I get back? It’s like this thing is following me! I wonder if it’s ok to quarantine then fly to the Bahamas 4 days later. Maybe I’ll cut my FL trip short

New Mexico also has a quarantine in place, for those who arrive by air. Not sure how it is being enforced. But it's been in place for several months.

As I sit here in NY state and type this do you you realize many citizens are furious with Cuomo. Anywhere from 6000-12000 seniors died in nursing homes and it could have been prevented.

Nursing homes are liked cruise ships . IMHO.. They are confined spaces . Once you are there, it is not that easy to leave. Everyone is breathing the same air. There is not much social distancing.

I also find that a great loss and I am so sorry for those affected. In retrospect nursing homes should be among the first on the list to protect in a pandemic. A difficult task in many regards. I hope that you are doing ok. Best Wishes.

Now Texas is closing again. I wish there was a national website to visit the summaries of each state's covid guidelines. I feel like I am hearing them piecemeal.

 

[pedro47]

I wish there was a national policy for the United States and not by individual states..

 

[pedro47]

I also feel it is my civic duty to wear a mask to protect myself and my fellow Americans from the coronavirus.

I didn't think they were closing anything, just stopping the opening of anything new. Those places already open can remain open.

“Reasonable measures designed to protect the public are not only appropriate, but responsible during a pandemic,” Price (U.S. Attorney Kenji Price, of the District of Hawaii) said in a statement. “However, there are bounds to the discretion our public officials have during times of crisis. Those bounds are shaped by constitutional safeguards, such as the right of Hawaii residents and persons who hail from other states to travel freely within this great country.”


I foresee more lawsuits as a result of these latest reactionary quarantines. It will be interesting to see if the US Constitution Defenders prevail.

The source of the whole pandemic says you can’t come here!

been to New York plenty of times. No need to return until Wilhem is gone.
