    De Blasio announces coronavirus quarantine checkpoints at ‘major entry points’ into NYC



    Mayor de Blasio announced checkpoints for the bridge-and-tunnel crowd to comply with the state’s mandatory 14-day coronavirus quarantine rule for those arriving from COVID-19 hotspots.

    “They (visitors) will be reminded that it is required not optional,” de Blasio said on Wednesday. “This is serious stuff. If we’re going to hold at this level, the quarantine is going to have to be enforced.”

    The NYC Sheriff, deputies and other officials said they will deploy to Penn Station, airports, bridges, tunnels, and on major roadways to quiz travelers about their plans and register with authorities.

    Currently, there are 34 states in the U.S. and Puerto Rico where COVID-19 rates are too high or rising according to state metrics, de Blasio said. The restriction of states is based upon a seven day rolling average, of positive coronavirus tests in excess of 10%, or number of positive cases exceeding 10 per 100,000 residents.

    he city’s rate has been steady and declining at below 3% for two months now even as numbers have been rising across the Sun Belt and Midwest.

    “The national outlook is not encouraging to say the least,” de Blasio said. “We need to do what we’ve been doing and do it consistently.”

    About 20% of all new cases in New York City are from people who arrive from out of state, said Dr. Ted Long, who oversees the city’s contact tracing program.

    Officials offered scant details about the checkpoints, including where and when they might operate and how widespread they will be.

    The city sheriff said most of the traffic stops would be done on a randomized basis, perhaps stopping one in every six or eight cars. He said the stops would not target out of state drivers because the law also applies to New Yorkers who travel to one of the states on the list.

          Well obviously because Reductio ad Hitlerum is only a fallacy when liberals use it. DUH.

            I don't recall doing so except maybe to object to it being the knee jerk response.

              Since Hitler killed 12 million people, it's always a knee-jerk response. That's why it's officially a fallacy.

                hmm - I refer both to you, and to the lack of you being excoriated by the peanut gallery for doing so

                I will say that there is far less evidence the De Blasio is inclined towards authoritarianism than our 'glorious leader'. So there is that. Restricting intake from contaminated areas has multiple precedents in our history, it is in fact a necessary part of dealing with a pandemic.

                  Ah, yet another ---- "nobody's pitching an unbalanced walleyed fit like I am, so they're guilty".

                  And you're such a hypocrite - you blast others for "demeaning" people, yet, here you are doing it yourself.

                  We should "excoriate" people, and if we don't, we're..... sheeeeeesh, are you nuts.

                    It's also exactly what Trump did in restricting flights from China.

                      At the same time, the holocaust motto is 'never forget'. So there is a bit of a conflict between 'never forgetting' and 'never raising red flags' when actions parallel those of Hitler's rise to power in our own or other governments. I think the far more critical point is to not allow that which can lead to a Hitler to be ignored or suppressed. It is not that those actions WILL produce another Nazi Germany, it is that we can not allow even the slightest drift in that direction. We can't allow the 'foot in the door' as it were. And to keep that from happening, we must make the correlation, which means bringing it up, and warning against it.

                        Checkpoints are racist. Next he'll be building a wall.

                          The democrats keep calling the republicans "Nazis" but as soon as they have have an excuse, they go completely overboard with authoritarianism. Shutting down churches, locking people in houses, shutting down businesses, while allowing riots and arson in the streets.

                          Wake up America! The real Nazis are the Democrats!
