Same for NJ and CT! Utterly impossible to separate these 3 States. The NYC greater metropolitan area includes all 3, and huge numbers of people commute from much of NJ and CT to NYC. No way to contain that except by isolating these 3 States as a group.
Within those States they can try to limit the spread into their more rural areas, but they still have more infections there than the rest of the Country. Seal those State borders!
True! And long distance commute from CT to work in NYC isn't nearly as prevalent as it is in NJ. But where do you make the cutoff point and still effectively reduce the spread?
State lines seem the only practical way of going about it to me.
You're just being mean. And stupid. Nobody ever moved? Ever?
I was born in NJ and lived there for many years. I know most of the State pretty well. There is LOTS of farmland, including the NW of the State which is a beautiful area. Its not called the Garden State for nothing.
Pine barrens too. I've gone camping there. I've sailed the whole coast, including through OPSail '76.
POTUS has authority to seal State lines. If you're not commuting to PA, why would you care? And those that are commuting to PA as a lot of NJ residents do, I would expect exceptions to be made because POTUS is a smart man. No way to just seal off partial areas of States though, nor do we have resources to prevent those infected from crossing State lines while letting everyone else go. Of course that would be the preference.
These restrictions should be able to be removed before Memorial Day, so they wouldn't even affect anybody's summer plans. Let's ALL have a great summer! Cheap gas, every place will be super clean. The rest of the Country can't do that if people from NY NJ and CT keep infecting the rest of the Country.

I used to live in Connecticut so I can tell you it's very much a county thing
People from the Hartford area aren't going to New York or Boston very often

Counties
Get some new material. You know nothing about New Jersey. Up the thread you claim to be from Wisconsin. South Jersey is FARM LAND. I live here.
