Open this shit. Lock down the hot spots and stop punishing the rest of the country.
New Yorks problem is not mine just as my problems are not theirs
Thats pure ignorance and incredible stupidity. Unless you can put up a sign that the virus respects you can get infected by someone from NY even if you live in Bumfuck Arkansas.
Not if you keep up restrictions on travel. Someone from NYC has to travel to said area, and has to be infected, AND has to interact with the people in that area.
The virus does not have the Star Trek technology to Beam itself from NYC to Little Rock.
Thats not at all true. Someone from Bumfuck can go to NY and then come back home and spread the virus. Or someone from Bumfuck and go to Florida where someone from NY went and bring the virus back.
Again, you isolate NYC, which is the main hotspot, and the surrounding States. you keep the airports closed, or at least restricted, and other areas can get back to normalcy, or at least begin to get enough people sick but not badly sick to get herd immunity started.
Either that or we remain locked down entirely until a vaccine is made, tested, and distributed to say 40-50% of the population.
