Well....that comment and backpedaling took less than 24 hours. Must be a record.
Is that even legal? Quarantine an entire state?

Legal or not, we have almost every other country lock down these regions immediately.
Yeah, that was a mistake.
Should have locked it down and dealt with the repercussions later.

I almost get the impression that decisions are being based more on what the economic impact would be, rather than what would be in the best interests of the people and their health & safety...
I thought they had pretty much stated that with the Back To Work In A Week statement and the below interesting statement from an assistant govonor?
Older people would rather die than let Covid-19 harm US economy – Texas official
Lieutenant governor Dan Patrick tells Fox News: ‘Do we have to shut down the entire country for this? I think we can get back to work’

I may have misinterpreted that, in that case

It means that the government care about the people the minimum they need to, to keep exploiting them for their own gain. In the US, government = rich peoples club. Government likes to have their wage slaves continue to make money for them. If we die in small enough amounts, we can easily be replaced by other "working class" people. It wouldn't do if saving poor peoples lives cost more money than letting them die.
TLDR: Being rich is a virtue in US. Being poor means there's something "wrong" with you.

I live in Ny state and I have diabetes. I woke up with a mild cough this morning. First thing I thought was "Welp, looks like I've got a couple weeks to live". Fortunately I don't have a fever and the cough has abated. I guess that's just where we are now.
I feel I may have done @ColdDog a disservice and have fallen into the trap of political pontification before all events have transpired.
I'll try to go back to just the facts , while there is still a pandemic on it's still half way through the proceedings to be able to cast aspersion one way or another. I can assume, I can pontificate, but I can't really draw conclusions before everything that may happen has happened, or not happened.

Jumping is too much work...almost like exercise!Why don't we jump to them?!
On any normal day that would have been big news
Well here in Germany it's kinda all over the radio stations. The Hesse Prime Minister was very shocked, too, almost couldn't finish his speech.
I work in a bigger rural hospital and I wonder how many cases there will be tomorrow at work. Granted, I don't really have contact to patients, but the staff is pretty concerned about the virus. Peak infections are estimated to be around Easter. We'll see, if that is true. Stay safe everyone.
Not to speculate but I wonder whether his decision had anything to do with private financial ruination rather than fear for the financial health of the country?
I think a lot of people will be driven to drastic measures 1929 Great Depression style. Still....RIP and Condolences to his family/Germany.
This will be my only political post about this, and this is why we in the US will probably have it worse in the coming months. How is the weather up in Canada, I hear it is a nice place to live....
