Re: Covfefe-19 - Part 4- Stay the **** Home
It wouldn't. But when the feds are complete and utter f=ckups and are telling people to go out and do stuff contrary to everything science and medicine and math tell us, at some point the feds become a threat to the states.
I agree with all of that. But, in absence of federal leadership, a lot of leaders of red states have managed to step up to the challenge. Luckily, not all red governors are taking the advice of the federal government, nor do they have to do so, in absence of some nationwide quarantine y'all agree will likely never come. Besides, the virus is obviously already in New York. Closing their borders to all red states, some of which are taking exactly the right approach to this crisis, and have fewer cases per capita than New York does, or, at the very least, have the same number per capita, makes little sense at this point. The virus is spreading uncontrollably there, possibly like everywhere else (we just don't know, because again, lack of testing).
If your original point was to lessen the number of cases New York can manage, based on red states having people infected with the virus, it should close its borders to all states, not just red ones. I don't think anyone has seen evidence that red states have a higher percentage of infected individuals than blue states, because frankly, the federal government (again, not the individual states) f-cked up and didn't have us prepared to test people on the massive scale that was required. Yes, Florida's governor, DeSantis, has f-cked up royally. But, then you make it a targeted approach, and ban people from Florida, which, lets be honest, still wouldn't work that well.
I mean, the more I think about it, wouldn't it make more sense (but still no sense at all) for red states (and all states) right now, in this moment, to close their borders to New York?
