I wish HE could come home to Texas. We will quarantine him for 2 weeks when he comes home, some time in May. But he's in Northern California at the moment, headed to Nevada. He hasn't been to SoCal, so I don't know about that...but I'm afraid you may be right.

Ultra MAGA!
For a couple of weeks the media has been babbling this exact thing needed to be done on a larger scale. Now that he even suggests it they will call it illegal (call him Hitler) and constantly harp on all the harm it will do.

Did he just suggest it to change the narrative and screw with the media? And he tweeted it in the middle of Cuomo's press briefing leaving Cuomo absolutely blindsided.

I hope your son gets home to you! I worry about the ones that just come out here with no idea where they're going or what to do. I guess we could add Louisiana folks to the list also...Actually, anyone coming in from any state that could be carrying the virus with no family or friends here....just wandering around, spreading it.

IMHO it's too late for that type of quarantine. You can't put the toothpaste back in the tube. If quarantine's had a hope in hell of working, they should have been instituted over a month ago. Governments - and this one is no exception - have a distinct pattern of either doing the wrong thing or doing the right thing too late.

Quarantineing NY, NJ, & Conn sounds good to me!!!

BUT, if we are really serious, WHY IN HELL HAVE WE NOT SHUT DOWN ALL IMMIGRATION, LEGAL & ILLEGAL, & NO REFUGEES ????

And if the do gooders object, tell them explicitly to FO !!!!!!!!

Or, Is the NWO/GLOBALIST crowd really in charge ?? I suspect THEY are calling the shots !!!

:ld: :mad:

I have literally been LMAO about this since I watched DJT say this, and heard Fox News read Cuomo's response.

It is absolutely BRILLIANTLY BEAUTIFUL.

DJT just punked his ass, and Cuomo is completely impotent.

This move is BRILLIANT and delivered PERFECTLY.

There really is so much winning with this, I am still grinning from ear to ear!

Ya know?

What you are describing is really close to "refugees".

I know there are fine folks in those states, but I had to work with transplanted New Yorkers for 6 years. I despised all of them, so I kinda support the harassment of them.

We had transplanted New Yorkers move in to our bailiwick at work, too.

Jeezuz...it took us 5 years to talk them down from the ledge and make them believe we weren't out to stab them in the back every 5 minutes. And that we say what we mean, and mean what we say. Take it to the bank.
Admit, none really proved to be worth the time/effort it took to convert to semi-human. When the rubber met the road, they were 99.9% bluster and bullshit.
 

day late

money? whats that?
no kidding. and they got it ready in 4 DAYS. that is down from the orginal date of 4 WEEKS to be ready. trump said it would be there for non-covid19 people that needed care and surgeries. very impressive work that base did.


Remember the story of the U.S.S. Yorktown just before the battle of Midway? She came in all beat to h**l after the battle of the Coral Sea. They managed to get her back to sea in 24 hours, if memory serves.

Central NEW YORK here.
A little FYI for some of you. When the going gets tough, New Yorker's get tougher. Seen it during 911 and seeing it now. Neighbors helping neighbors. Teenagers grocery shopping for the elderly. Phone calls from people I hadn't heard from in God knows how long to see if I'm okay.
Yeah, we can be a snooty bunch but when it comes right down to it, we care. AND we show it. Just wanted you guys who are bashing New Yorkers to know that tidbit.
Carry on.

Too late. NY plates are all over the place up here.
Yep. They've made their way to their 2nd homes in Vermont too. I went to the grocery store yesterday and except for the fact that it was slim pickings in numerous parts of the store, it was normal in terms of numbers of people and the extent to how much most people had in their carts. Most people. Whereas a couple weeks ago everyone's cart was overflowing in the initial panic, that phase has passed except for the Metro NYC crowd bugging out to their 2nd homes. I can often pick out the non-residents from the locals at the store and sure enough, a family with an overflowing cart that I pegged are NY'ers headed out to their Mercedes SUV with NY plates. Tourism is summer-fall-winter here and with our now being in the down season, 2nd homeowners such as I just described stand out all the more.

Edited to add I don't blame them at all for coming here. Why wouldn't they? It is far safer than staying in NYC . Yes some are elitist snobs, but many others are decent folks. Some make themselves part of the community, others stay apart.

man this is going to make the damned grocery stores even crazier, just as they began to settle back in. It's too late anyway, anyone in the city who could? has already beaten feet outta dodge.
Three houses of Ny weekenders on my street are already occupied. Neighbor said her son and dil in Brooklyn packed up the van 2 weeks ago and drove out to Oregon.

Central NY isn’t like NYC or its environs. Trust me, the people I worked with were insufferable pricks and I wish them the worst. The memories aren’t good for me. I hope they all went back to that hellhole cause they sure didn’t want to be in the Midwest.

I had posted on a different thread that my sister lives in a coastal CT town. All the NY summer people are there now and they are not doing any quarantine or social distancing. She is pissed. I heard Jackman Maine has been overrun with NY plates. All the rentals taken and the grocery cleaned out. Sad thing is I bet Jackman doesn't even have an ICU. If they brought it with them and get sick they are screwed. Unfortunately so is the town.

Another demonstration of how little he "gets it" about this virus, unfortunately. Anyway, half of NY is already gone, just like half of Wuhan left town before it got locked down.

no they’re not. Some rich people may be gone but the vast majority are still there

You're right, and western NY, especially the rural areas, are MUCH more like North Carolina and points south. When we've visited NC and Virginia, we felt right at home.. same basic manners, everyone smiles at everyone...

You can't pay me enough to go to NY city!

Or doing the right thing way too late after doing all the wrong things.

At least that's my observation.

On another note related to the OP,
There is absoluely nothing "makeshift" about the that hospital ship.

Aint that the truth! It's a 1000 bed level 1 Trauma center with ALL the ancillary docs and specialists attached, rather than in far flung medical parks and professional buildings. And it floats.

I seriously think he trolls the media just to troll them and then sits back on twitter and laughs because they believe him.

Poor Andy.

Who TF does he think CONTROLS "Interstate Commerce"??

Andy needs to understand that Trump's Federalist bent is not a complete break in that direction.
 
New York governor Andrew Cuomo has described Trump’s idea of a lockdown in the state as “anti-American”.
Earlier, Trump told reporters that he was considering imposing a quarantine in New York, and parts of New Jersey and Connecticut.

However, Cuomo has said that the travel ban would be “counter-productive”, telling CNN: “If you started walling off areas all across the country it would be totally bizarre, counter-productive, anti-American”.

“It makes absolutely no sense and I don’t think any serious governmental personality or professional would support it,” he added.

The United States now has more than 120,000 confirmed cases, the highest figure in the world, with New York the national epicentre of the virus.

American, Sexist, Racist Rant:

Dear Governor Cuomo,

I firmly stand with President Trump in respect to closing off your state from exporting the ITALIAN strain of the Chinese Commie Fung Yu Flu. Your stupid woke culture allowed this invisible demon into your state with open arms. You and your leftist co-horts foolishly greeted Commie carriers and infected Italians into YOUR state, and the nations largest, most densely packed city.

Instead of protecting one of the worlds most important financial centers, you infected it, and the entire Eastern Seaboard!

You had more than ample warning.

In January, viral videos originating in Communist media controlled CHINA, escaped CCP control, and infected nearly everyone who watched them.

Infected with; physical and emotional revulsion at the severity of this growing epidemic.
with horror as people dropped dead in the streets,
with shock as people were welded into their apartment buildings,
with nausea as hospital wards, apartments, even streets were filled with dead, decaying highly contagious bodies,
with terror as people were dragged, beaten, removed from their homes into death camps called quarantine centers,
with amazement as the entire country closed up shop, the manufacturing capital of the entire planet shut down.

The true cruelty of the Chines Communist Party was on full display.

With full intent, they lied to their own people. At first they lied to flat out deny to their own countrymen there was even an outbreak. They intentionally allowed the entire country to be infected. They purposely killed off a huge number of there own citizens. They lied to the entire world claiming there was no human to human spread - while in full knowledge the invisible demon was burning it's way though their own population. They lied and continue to lie to the entire population of this planet. They willfully unleashed, and physically seeded - a global pandemic.

You know what Dear Governor Cuomo - That there, all of it, is what I consider anti-American. Fact is I consider it downright UnAmerican. Oh Holy Hell No. That Aint American!

So what did you do during this time to prepare?

What did you ever do to prepare?


So when it sailed in via jetliner over the Statue of Liberty, did attempt to deny this spawn of a vile, evil, corrupt government of madmen, this virus, entry into The Great State of New York?

Did you and your State and Municipal Governments, raise a hue and a cry in defense of Your State and Great City?

From what I can recall at the time, no not so much. In-fact more of along the lines of the opposite. Without mentioning your nations primary media centers and their obsession with removing the current administrations president, consider just one tidbit to chew on. The media parroted CCP propaganda, they still do for that matter. The media, your media, aided in the infection by urging people to resist restrictions of the US administrations attempts to stop entry at our boarders, and more.

One example which make you cringe to watch, needs to be seen to believed. This piece of Woke, affirmative action hire, spews party virtue:

View: https://twitter.com/NY1/status/1225599370067836928[/I]



So here you are now. City overwhelmed, begging for aid. You one of the richest most powerful States in the World. Begging. You have tremendous powers and responsibilities as Governor. Today first hand you experience self induced carnage as the results of your folly. You now exhort our front-line men and women at their personal peril, to forge character?

And today, you want to continue to export by lack of containment, this potent killer and debilitating scourge, to the rest of out Great Nation?

Just sayin - Seems like Anti-American behavior to me.

Enough!

Signed,

An American

You made a general statement about ALL New Yorkers. Nice cover up. Nobody is the same in ANY state. BUT I don't care where you're from here, Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse or NYC when the going gets rough we're a tough bunch.
I have family and MANY friends in NYC. You insulted them. And a little FYI, President Trump was born and bred in Queens. Guess you feel the same way about him too.
Are there people here I don't care for? Sure. That's human nature. But there are people in other states I think are azzwipes too. Again. human nature,
My point is don't generalize everybody in the state for a few you had a bad experience with. A REAL New Yorker will say things about each other but God bless somebody else who does because as a general rule we all stick together. Period.
