Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida said on Monday that he will sign an executive order directing the state’s surgeon general to require anyone flying to the state from New York or New Jersey to observe a mandatory 14-day quarantine.
Many coronavirus cases in Florida, especially in the counties that include Miami, Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach, have been tied to New York, and a recent uptick in travel from the region suggested New Yorkers were flying to Florida to flee shelter-in-place orders.
“Hopefully that will be a deterrent for people if you’re just trying to escape here,” Mr. DeSantis said.
The quarantine will not apply to people arriving by car.
If you check out the updates, the extreme density of NYC makes it extremely hard to control the Coronavirus. It has half of all American cases and 5 percent of global total.
So to people who suggested NYC deal with high rents by allowing the construction of many more high rise apartments, you were simply wrong.
Wrong call on this one, I think. Seoul is incredibly dense with its central districts as dense as Manhattan. Taipei is smaller, but also incredibly dense in its core. They were able to handle the virus as both had existing plans and federal agencies whose purpose was to be on the lookout and coordinate both response and messaging of directions to the general populace in the case of an epidemic.
Deals were so cheap. Here on this board a person was asking about flying to Jamaica cause of the great deals. Unless you know for sure your not a carrier after being tested you should be careful not to travel.
Why not take a last minute flight if there are any left. Then, if no return flights are available, and you run out of money to pay for hotel, they might put you up in a nice shanty lean-to in Trenchtown. Why not?

Wuhan is incredibly dense as well. There's 11 million people.
It's these Asian countries governments responses and cultural difference of the people (e.g. strong unity, obedience, naturally cleaner in japan, common sense lol, etc. ) that made those Asian countries flatten the curve on top of all their doctors, scientists, engineers, labs, and access to manufacturing.
South Koreans are probably the top 5 in the world for night life drinking culture yet they matured and stayed home to beat the virus. Not many "if I get corona, I get corona" douche bags at the over there or people fighting over toilet paper.
Congress is trying to come up with a rescue package that will hand out relief money to small business just like Sandy. It's stalled today because the Democrats wanted Climate based legislation included. Read about it.
Keep in mind JFK had a daily flight to/from Wuhan direct. For maybe 2 months after the first Wuhan infection we had people freely travelling to and through NYC until the feds cut China flights.
This has been here a while.
Same for San Fran
