New Yorkers are about to get a "Shelter in Place" order


Recommended Posts

"We hear New York City is going to quarantine itself. That is not true. That cannot happen," Cuomo said during a press conference. "It cannot happen legally. No city in the state can quarantine itself without state approval. And I have no interest whatsoever and no plan whatsoever to quarantine any city."

Notice that Cuomo used the term "quarantine" while de Blasio said "shelter in place". Probably different legal definitions requiring different sets of approvals while trying to achieve the same objective.

I gave laughing rep but part of me wonders if that really is the way they'll enforce this.

That would be "martial law" but I'm sure no one (democrat/socialist) wants to actually come out and use that term.

But then again Cuomo did already float the trial balloon by calling out the National Guard to surround New Rochelle.

@Maxman I feel like there are too many people posting on this thread.  This is unnecessarily risky behavior.  We really should try to keep each thread limited to 1 person or less, just to be safe.

Good point.

Each person should post five times in a row before the next person posts. It will up our post counts but it will also give us more room in between posters.

NJ cant be too far behind.  Bergen County not looking good... 

Bergen is a mess.  It will be the first county in which the hospitals get overwhelmed.  They are redesigning hospital floors to hold the Covid-19 patients.  Happening in all the hospitals.  Per Gov. Cuomo (NY), the greatest need for ICU beds will hit around April 30.  

I hope everyne realizes that we will be home-bound for months, not weeks.

The people that are infected now contracted the virus before all the new precautions went into place.   The median incubation period is about five days and symptoms can take up to 11 days to show up.  Given that, there *should* be a sharp decrease in the infection rate in about two weeks time if people take the restrictions seriously.  The end of April makes sense with respect to the peak number of people that will be exhibiting full blown symptoms and need medical services.  After that, things should start to get easier on the hospitals and heath services as long as people continue to follow the restrictions/precautions.  That is likely to be until September or so...

the NFL will have some tough decisions to make.  Minicamp- Probably not Preseason practice.... when?  starting August?  I doubt it.  I can see all that starting earliest August but probably later.  If there is a season, it could be a shortened one or with a lot of rescheduling into spring, which I doubt.

So we'll all feel better about this situation right around the 1-year anniversary of Sam getting Mono. lol

I cant see them doing an team activities other than working out contracts via email and fax until September. If I had to guess, I would say a shortened season that starts with one or two preseason games in September or perhaps no pre season at all.  Go right into the regular schedule in September or October...

Delay the season a month or so.  Nothing is happening in February anyway.  I'd love to have the NFL run right up to MLB Spring Training and even overlap it by a week or so.  I'm not a big dribble hoops fan so don't watch the NBA much until playoff time anyway.

A March 7th Super Bowl.....get onboard with me! lol
