Trump mulls coronavirus quarantine on New York, New Jersey, Connecticut
President Trump on Saturday said he is considering imposing an enforceable quarantine on New York, parts of New Jersey and parts of Connecticut as part of the efforts to curb the spread of the coronavirus.
“Some people would like to see New York quarantined because it’s a hotspot — New York, New Jersey, maybe one or two other places, certain parts of Connecticut quarantined,” he said outside the White House.
“I’m thinking about that right now. We might not have to do it but there’s a possibility that sometime today we’ll do a quarantine — short term, two weeks for New York, probably New Jersey and certain parts of Connecticut.”
He said that if such a move happened, it would be primarily a restriction on residents of those states traveling to other parts of the country. He later said that, if enacted, it would not affect truckers or trade.
He said that he had spoken to New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, and said there was a problem with people from New York traveling down to Florida: "We don't want that."
"This will be an enforceable quarantine, but hopefully we won’t need it," he said.
Some talking points, for both the intelligent posters and the snowflakes who right now have their fingers up their noses.
1. During this very speech today, this genius President also showed superior leadership by sending the Navy hospital ship COMFORT to New York City to help battle the victims of DiBlasio's incompetence.
2. While the adults are in charge and generally handling things, Joe has weighed in that he believes the entire country should be quarantined. Once again, a Democrat threatens the economy of the United States. The only thing more threatening would be the idiots who would vote for this fool.
3. Trump was right to halt flights from China and Europe, (which is why we don't have an exponential national disaster on our hands). Stopping flights and car trips out of those three states is a brilliant way of containing this disease. If only he could quarantine California, he could save most of the Western states.
