If quarantining this area (or any area) helps prevent the spread of the disease it should be done. At this point it's probably too late (all it takes is 1 individual outside the quarantined area for the quarantine to be ineffective, and we already know that to be the case even with the piss poor testing being done) but again if the experts say it's a good idea then that's fine. My main concern is that people/governments outside of the quarantined areas might loosen their social distancing discipline and measures. Whether he has the legal authority to do so I don't know, but in times of crisis the president should have this kind of authority. careful sir. define crisis, and define it relative to the constitution, define it relative to 'experts', define it relative to the rights of the states v. the federal govt, and just to chill it all down a bit more, assume the party you support is not in power at Executive level, nor in the House or Senate. for example...climate change. or, if you please on the other side of the aisle, Trump anything. 1

Seems to me when I was in Australia a couple years ago, it was a very popular place for tourists from China and other Asian countries. I can certainly check the internet, but how have you all been holding up in Sydney? Amazing place, hope you and yours are all well!

Not just tourists, but the number of Chinese people with Australian citizenship is growing each year in percentage terms. Most of our left-wing universities rely on expensive fees from wealthy Chinese students. It's a risky model IMO. We were the only country other than the US who banned travel from China in the very early phase of the Chinavirus. God bless Trump and Morrison! We are now in semi-shutdown mode. 13 dead as of yesterday. But when you have young idiots going to the beach in their thousands and many others ignoring the medical advice then it is bound to get worse before it gets better. 2

If they're worried about transmission of the virus, they should be more worried about the state next to them, whose curve is at least two weeks behind NYS. That's where the real danger is. Chances are if New Yorkers are without symptoms now, they don't have the virus. Can't say the same about Massholes.

Tiberius Posted March 29, 2020 Posted March 29, 2020 Quote Fears are growing that Florida could be another coronavirus hotspot after a sharp increase in infections in the last 24 hours and nearly two dozen more deaths. Health officials said Saturday morning they have seen 863 additional positive COVID-19 cases, which brought the total tally of cases to 3,763. CLICK HERE FOR FULL CORONAVIRUS COVERAGE In this photo provided by the Florida Keys News Bureau, Monroe County Sheriff’s Office Col. Lou Caputo directs a driver wanting to continue down the Florida Keys Overseas Highway near Key Largo, Fla. Friday, March 27, 2020. The Keys have been temporarily closed to visitors since March 22, because of the coronavirus crisis. Keys officials decided to established the checkpoint Friday to further lessen the threat of virus transmission to people in the subtropical island chain. (Andy Newman/Florida Keys News Bureau via AP) More than 600,000 people around the world have tested positive for coronavirus. On Friday, the U.S. surpassed China - where the virus was first detected late last year - after recording more than 100,000 infections. Florida is now the fourth most-hit state in the United States, after New York, New Jersey, and California, according to data by health officials and Johns Hopkins University. MIAMI MAYOR TESTS POSITIVE FOR CORONAVIRUS WITHOUT SYMPTOMS, URGES PEOPLE TO 'TAKE THIS VERY SERIOUSLY' Miami-Dade and Broward counties – the two most populous in the state – have recorded the highest number of infections, with more than 400 new cases between the two over the last 24 hours. Miami's Mayor Francis Javier Suarez tested positive for the virus and told Fox News he is recovering well. At least 54 people have died of coronavirus in Florida, including at least 3 in Miami-Dade and 11 in Broward counties. Miami-Dade’s first coronavirus-related death was 40-year-old Israel Carrera, from North Miami, who died Thursday – just days after testing positive for COVID-19. Health officials said they believe he might have contracted the virus after attending the Winter Party Music Festival in early March. “It started with fever, and then very quickly he was having problems with breathing,” Franco Conquista, who NBC 6 identified as his boyfriend, said on Friday. No stay at home order, though. Governor DeSantis is screwing up big time. There is an online petition calling on him to shut down the state (300,000) signers. First he was slow on the beaches, now this https://www.foxnews.com/us/florida-sees-sharp-spike-in-coronavirus-infections-as-fears-grow-it-could-be-another-hotspot

We had the same issues with young kids hitting beaches and the like here in the US, and it certainly can be a problem. I was only in Sydney for about 9 days, my daughter had an internship and was there a few months. We all loved it, and the people were very nice. 1
