As a New Jersey resident this is the move.

NJ resident as well. I need more details of the quarantine before I agree this is the move. Is it just restricting access in/out? Will there be a predetermined time frame? Or will more measures be placed as well? I’m on the fence pede. All in all I just want this shit over with, and if trump and his advisors think this is the best move, then let’s hunker down.

Hi Cheynemak! I can give you some info:

there is no legal basis or precedent to shut down a whole community. Presidential authority can shut down State borders for purposes of quarantine. There is no predetermined timeframe, although the 2 week incubation period is a significant factor.

None of this affects life's necessities; you can still grocery shop, go to the Dr. Some places are restricting going out for a walk, which I think is bs. Easy to keep 10 ft away from anyone.

I've been studying maps by County. Here in WI and west til you get to the left coast, the single largest number of infections by County is 0. That's right, most of the Country geographically speaking has not one person that's tested positive! The second highest category is Counties with 1-4 infections. Shouldn't be hard to get those people better, especially once we get some HCQ which is currently being hoarded in NY. Cuomo is denying its use to infected people unless they're hospitalized and part of a study, which might mean half of them are on a placebo.

Thank you for your responsible consideration of all the available info. I'm not sure how effective State measures can be to stop the spread into rural areas? I think it's worth trying.

We should be able to responsibly get much of the Country open for business soon. That will greatly mitigate further economic damage. Not continuing to spread the infection is the bare minimum. If we could get a supply of 9 HCQ pills to every man woman and child in the US this would basically just be a bad flu it takes 6 days to get over, but no deaths or side effects. Everybody could go back to work except those in high risk groups might want to continue to self isolate. If we didn't give any HCQ to those in flyover country we might be able to do this with as few as 2 billion pills of HCQ. We don't have nearly that many. Millions have been donated to US, domestic production is re-started in WV with product scheduled to be shipped by late April.

Makes you wonder why the leftists demanded testing kits and ventilators and opposed HCQ. They don't want this disaster over or resolved.

True dat! A ventilator doesn't even increase our chances of survival much.

As another Jersian, yes I support this move, if it means getting the fucking country back to normal.
