As President Donald Trump made his way to Norfolk, Virginia, to see off a U.S. Navy medical ship sent to New York City to help, he suggested imposing some kind of quarantine for New York and parts of New Jersey and Connecticut, all hit hard by the coronavirus. The federal government generally does not have the power to impose such restrictions on states.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, a Republican and close Trump ally, told reporters he had spoken with the president about the possibility of a quarantine for the greater New York City area. DeSantis had already ordered anyone arriving from Louisiana to self-quarantine and said law enforcement officers would set up checkpoints to screen cars from the state.
“In Detroit, we are seeing a lot of patients that are presenting to us with severe disease, rather than minor disease,” said Chopra, who worried about a “tsunami” of patients. A cluster of three counties in rural Indiana have surging rates of confirmed cases. One of them, Decatur, population 26,000, has 30 cases with one confirmed death and another suspected, said Sean Durbin, the county’s public health emergency preparedness coordinator. Several cases were traced to large gatherings earlier in the month, including a religious retreat and a high school basketball tournament.
Germany has fewer deaths than some neighboring countries but has closed nonessential shops and banned public gatherings of more than two people until April 20. It still had its share of grim news: 12 residents of a nursing home in the northern town of Wolfsburg have died since Monday after being infected, news agency dpa reported.
Another 8,000 confirmed infections pushed that count above 72,000 cases. But Spain’s director of emergencies, Fernando Simón, saw hope in that the rate of infection is slowing and figures “indicate that the outbreak is stabilizing and may be reaching its peak in some areas.”
Fact check - on 3/29 new cases dropped and deaths plunged
Maybe people learned math too well. They always find the easiest way to complete the operation.

Why does the U.S. have a 2nd amendment?
Stop making up stories APe
For those that know their powers of 2, this could mean in 10 days we will be over 1 MILLION. WhereAreWeHeaded
Bolsonaro is not really worthy to be president of Brazil, he doesn't even insist on helping the population just think about the country's economy. People are dying and he just doesn't care just because he isn't someone of the highest class.I hope he is aware of this decision made
ggreenwald Soon or later, reality will catch up to Bolsonaro. Mother Nature can be denied, but she won't be ignored.
Trump is right, New York is a disaster with 50,000 + cases,Those liberal democrat policies in New York are infecting Pennsylvania with the virus,pricks need to stay the hell out of Pennsylvania!
One month ago Blasio encourages people to eat Chinese restaurants .20 days ago he sent everyone to the subway, don't worry. two weeks ago he didn't want to close the school... . How many people tested positive in NewYork ．Everything is him failure！
STUPID PEOPLE ELECT STUPIDEST PEOPLE TO PEWER !!!
and two days ago Trump wasn't doing enough. these liberals are so full of shit, and they wonder why no one takes them seriously.
⚠️ WE have a lot money save we pay a lot tax where the money go realDonaldTrump when BarackObama take off our deficit was very down now we are with no money If you open you will kill All the people must stop 🛑
If NY is sheltering in place, where are they going? They shouldn’t be going to other states anyway.
The Quarantine worked on China. It worked on Europe. Why not New York?
If you think the US has the most cases and Italy has the most deaths then you're a fool. Don't trust the numbers out of China. Why did 21 million Chinese cell phones go silent in the past couple of months?
Bolsonaro is taking a page from the trump playbook let's see how it turns out.
ggreenwald BrasilTemQuePararBolsonaro BolsonaroGenocida
Oust the brazialian president for that crimimal behavior. This goes beyond borders if one country is not following protocols it affects the world. Same goes for states within the US.
ggreenwald Bolsonaro is a genocide. He will pay for his crimes against humanity.
On that trajectory, in 2 weeks that would be. 256,000 dead Americans....
At the end of the H1N1 outbreak in 2009-2010, there were more than 12,000 American deaths and 60 million cases. We're now 1/6 of the way there. Yet, Trump will remain delusional and downplay this pandemic to only those that love him. The others are in the fight for their lives.
ggreenwald
ggreenwald Sad to see the last point. Even more sad when compared with the other two. Indeed, Bolsonaro will have blood on his hands.
The Brazilian president is a smart man, no need to panic
Sounds like the Brazilian President is following Trump’s handling of the pandemic! 🤔🙄
New York is already destroying Florida. Shut your state down!
yeah...Cuomo is doing a great job😌
We gotta close down airports and Amtrak. No one way rental cars. Almost a travel ban but it’s not.
巴西总统其实是在笑而不语
Yeah, announce a quarantine ahead of time...enough time for people to escape to their summer homes, extended family’s homes, all across the USA...enough for Trump to say when it doesn’t work...”well I tried.” LOL
New York today along at the day is not over has recorded 277 deaths wtf
Most of the deaths are in NYC. Why? Utter incompetence by their idiot governor and mayor. Quarantine NYC now to protect the rest of the nation.
Is America great again, yet?
What do we do, then, about travel out of the NYC area? The virus is out of control there, with half of all cases.
Waaaay back in 2/24 the USA had 50 cases and trump told us the virus was “very much under control” Of course he was also advising buying stocks so there’s that
Why are so many good people willing to be led by fools
Thank you donald J trump!
Didn’t Trump also talk down the virus in the beginning too... He should learn from others errors.
And It's Trump fault right 🙄.
