Exactly, so you stay where you are. Sounds like you wouldn't be leaving CT anyway, regardless of quarantine. So why get upset over quarantine? If I hadn't had the option to go south, I'd have fully expected (and accepted) that a quarantine was coming to NY.
Dude... What the crap? Why such a hurtful response?
I'm a young freelance guy who lives alone in NYC. All my work got cancelled for the next 3 months. I stayed inside my apt for almost 2 weeks; rarely went out except for food/groceries/going for a walk. I intended to wait it out, in the city, but the cases kept piling up and more and more things were being closed down. I have clinical depression/OCD, so this was not a good situation for me.
Over that 2-week lonely period, I was getting increasingly anxious and depressed, and my parents kept asking me each day over FaceTime if I was sure I didn't want to come down and ride this crisis out with the family in FL. Eventually, after a horrible panic attack, I caved in and told them I'd like to come home. They were thrilled and relieved.
I wore a mask to the airport, on the plane, and until I got home. I didn't sit near anyone at the airport or even on the plane; no one was in my row, nor in the row in front of me or the row behind me. I've now been home at my parents' for over a week, self-isolating. I have not gone anywhere. I've been terrified of getting symptoms, both for my own sake and my family's, but my parents keep reassuring me that I took precautions and did what I was supposed to do.
Also, why would I need to "test negative" after a 14 day quarantine? You do realize they only give you a test to begin with, if you have severe symptoms. And you also realize that even if I got symptoms and was positive, I'm still doing exactly the right thing: self-isolating.
So please, tell me how I'm an "irresponsible asshole"? Spreading it "all over the country"? I wasn't aware that going straight home to stay with my family was "all over the country". What is your problem??
I read that everyone will be getting an additional $600 on top of unemployment pay every week. That is the only way I can stomach this. That plus the stimulus check is just enough to make ends meet for the month.
Impossible to "prove" unless it is monitored by health officials. Great idea but we just don't have the resources to do it.
Sealing the State borders of NY NJ and CT is the only sensible course of action. Should be able to lift those restrictions before Memorial Day so it doesn't even impact summer plans. Should be a great summer! Cheap gas, every place clean ...

because how long is this going to go on? all anyone wants to suggest is more quarantine
I'm guessing he'll put it in place until the number of daily new cases starts to decline?
That is the number we are looking for, unfortunately some states are rigging their numbers.
RicottaPrime, you, Sir, are an irresponsible asshole! Spreading it from NY all over the rest of the Country that has 0 infected people.
Unless you tested negative after a 14 day quarantine, in which case thank you for taking responsible precautions.

You should be able to leave, if you can prove you are healthy and did a 15 day quarantine

For Americans working together nothing is impossible, nothing.
