"Life goes on" was his quote last month. Defiant, feeling of invincibility, impatient, young, elite athlete, couldn't possibly happen to him. And if it does, he'll be fine. But of course, it isn't about just him, but everyone exposed by everyone there. Bar and club hopping while there. Nole was also outspoken against the U.S. Open protocols, limited guests etc....(Djokovic routinely rents a large house for his large group annually when playing in Queens)
How badly must you have f'd up as a state when NY and Cuomo are going to make any visitor from your state quarantine for two weeks when coming to New York?
It's a tri-state plan with New Jersey and Connecticut in the mix.
Gov Lamont just posted the criteria in case anyone wondered why states were included/excluded. Travel Advisory: Effective 11:59 p.m. on Wednesday, June 24, 2020, anyone traveling into Connecticut, New York, or New Jersey from a state that has a new daily positive test rate higher than 10 per 100,000 residents or a state with a 10% or higher positivity rate over a 7-day rolling average are directed to self-quarantine for a 14-day period from the time of last contact within the identified state.As of today, the list of states includes: Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, Texas, Utah & Washington.
Yep. Not that I have a trip planned up that way any time soon, but NC is on the list.Hospitalizations and percentage of positive steps have been going up steadily here ever since we entered Phase 2 (restaurants open at limited capacity, barbers open, small gatherings allowed with proper distancing, etc) on May 22. He is supposed to decide if we will enter Phase 3 this week. I'm not optimistic. Folks here have gotten very lackadaisical about mask-wearing and social distancing. For awhile, when I went to the store or to pick up a to-go order, almost everybody was wearing a mask. Now, the no-mask folks outnumber the mask-wearers by a wide margin. And the one time we went out to eat since dine-in was allowed, not a single employee at the restaurant was wearing a mask; won't go there again.There is talk of the governor issuing a statewide mask mandate, maybe along with letting some more places open - a Phase 2.5. We'll see.But given the info we have, I don't blame NY-NJ-CT from keeping us out.
This begs the question of how they will identify people from said states, and more importantly how they will monitor or enforce the quarantine. From a practical perspective, seems like it almost has to be 'voluntary.'But I agree with 82 - I certainly don't blame them for trying.
It's pretty toothless/voluntary. If I had to guess the primary objective is to send a message to the New Yorkers that fled to FL or carolina beach houses when things heated up earlier in the year. They want that set to stay home for a while when they come back to flea outbreaks in those areas. Now there are penalties, so if someone is actively flaunting they can fine/order them to quarantine through the judiciary.
Florida, man.@aravosis: Floridians angrily claiming masks are the work of the devil because “they want to throw God’s wonderful breathing system out the door.” https://twitter.com/aravosis/status/1275854598146871296/video/1
The last couple of weeks have been depressing. I can't really get mad about this, or even have the will to debate this stuff anymore, since we have collectively decided to just give up. A country that prides itself on its worth ethic and never surrendor attitude has decided this is all too hard and taking all too long. All we needed was patience and perserverence. And we have neither.For those who care about sports, read this.https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2020/06/24/america-cant-act-like-team-it-might-cost-us-return-sports/"Of course, the world really is a competitive league — but an economic one. In that race, in controlling the novel coronavirus pandemic, we are far behind Asia, where, just to illustrate, Japan and South Korea are playing baseball, and the European Union, where elite professional soccer is back in England, Germany, Italy and Spain.The gap is incredibly embarrassing. If you want to know why, among many more serious American problems, we may have no more MLB, NFL, NBA or NHL this year, consider Tuesday’s stats. The seven largest countries in the E.U., with a combined population around the same as our 330 million, had about 6 percent as many new coronavirus cases as the U.S.: 2,074 to 33,730. Texas and California had more than 5,000 new cases each.In April, the E.U. was just as big a health disaster as America. But the E.U. still operates like a team — one that believes in science and has the discipline to fight together against a pandemic. Now, the results are in."

Wow .. Florida. That's a lot of insanity.https://twitter.com/aravosis/status/1275854598146871296
