Governor Cuomo on now. MSNBCHe is supposed to speak any moment now according to MSNBC. FYI.
The risk of traveling far from home for exercise is you are endangering the small, rural communities you are traveling to. In my state our Fish & Game department has started publishing the names and hometowns of "hikers" who have needed rescue over the past few days to TRY to deter the thousands of people that are treating this stay-at-home order as a vacation. Spoiler alert: most are from out of state or far from where they are hiking. You may think you're an experienced hiker but one slip and you're calling in our local rescue teams who can't socially distance while they are trying to rescue your behind off a mountain or out of a wilderness area.
Exercise outside in YOUR neighborhood. Walk YOUR streets. Don't tax small rural hospitals and police departments because you want a change of scenery.
Yes, pictures of a few people that are kept covered might speak more to a person as to the reality of the importance to do as told. Numbers of people might not get through to some. There weren't trucks filled like that from the flu? I doubt, opinionIMO A lot of people need to see these pictures. They need a wake up call. There are a few people I might send these picture to.
Yes they are. Texas DPS troopers are at airports.

Governor Abbott Issues Executive Order Mandating 14-Day Quarantine For Travelers Arriving From New York Tri-State Area, New Orleans | Office of the Texas Governor | Greg Abbott
Every person who enters the State of Texas as the final destination through an airport, from a point of origin or point of last departure in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, or the City of New Orleans, or in any other state or city as may be proclaimed hereafter, shall be subject to mandatory self-quarantine for a period of 14 days from the time of entry into Texas or the duration of the person’s presence in Texas, whichever is shorter. This order to self-quarantine shall not apply to people traveling in connection with military service, emergency response, health response, or critical-infrastructure functions, as may be determined by the Texas Division of Emergency Management. Each person covered under this order to self-quarantine shall be responsible for all associated costs, including transportation, lodging, food, and medical care.
A covered person shall use a form prescribed by the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) to designate a quarantine location in Texas, such as a residence or a hotel, and provide a full name, date of birth, home address, telephone number, and driver license or passport information. DPS Troopers, or other approved peace officers, shall collect a completed form from each covered person immediately upon disembarking and verify it against the person’s driver license or passport. Providing false information on this form is a criminal offense under Section 37.10 of the Texas Penal Code. Questions about this form should be directed to DPS at (800) 525-5555.
A covered person shall proceed directly from the airport to the designated quarantine location entered on the DPS form. Any covered person exhibiting symptoms of COVID-19 shall be escorted to the designated quarantine location by a DPS Trooper.
Michigan as a whole. Just talked with a friend in MI her single mom sister has it, as well as her two teens. The trio did get into a Grand Rapids hospital, but since they are a “unit”, all with like symptoms, only one could be tested as it is a given the other two are in fact positive. They can’t waste resources to tell someone what is already known.That's awesome! Be safe. Detroit exploded in numbers.
NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo Holds Coronavirus Briefing | NBC News (Live Stream)
Did not start yet
Thanks for the heads up @JerseyGirl
BBM if they can catch them. MOO
This is a great plan but enforcing it is another matter. We can’t even get CDL drivers (commercial drivers license) into DPS offices to renew their CDLs. Also, they can’t get their medical cards renewed. If their medical card expires, their CDL gets downgraded to a regular driver’s license. The Fed Gov is providing exemptions for all these drivers with expired medicals and CDLs so they can keep driving.
Oh my. I wish them well. Yes Michigan.....which is where my American Family are. They are well. So far.Michigan as a whole.

Evidently their main symptom is excruciating headache. The female had major surgery a few weeks ago & initially felt her headache was a result of that, until her kids started complaining.
Yep. We need these CDL drivers desperately right now.Under federal or state Emergency Declarations CDL restrictions on driving hours and renewals are lifted. The same for all medical licenses and most state lift restrictions on out of state practitioners
IIRC the other USNS hospital ship is called the MERCY, also appropriately named.Appropriately named.

And both named ships go all the way back to the 1918 Spanish flu epidemic. Not the same ships obviously, but their predecessors.IIRC the other USNS hospital ship is called the MERCY, also appropriately named.
