Not yet. Trump is leaving the lockdown decisions on the state level rather than country wide, and NY's governor hasn't taken it seriously yet.

Unifying everyone together has positives and negatives. Smart countries can balance this decently. America isn't one of them. The idea of 'freedom' is taken so far where the freedom to ignore things is inherent to us. Other nations where they have a more totalitarian role on the people and censor news are on one side of the spectrum, America is on the other. There are downsides to freedom and that's when people want to be free even if it means their own and everyone else's downfall.

We hate Mexicans? Is that why half the country wants amnesty for illegal immigrants? I thought we hated blacks, does it change week to week?

And what failures of the US get blamed on Mexicans? And how did that cause corona? Getting a headache trying to understand this 200 iq post.

Neither the governor or the president want to be the one responsible to make the decision to close NYC.

And people there are not taking social distancing seriously enough or this s*** has mutated to be airborne.

There are quite a number of restrictions on the states of New York, Connecticut, and New Jersey. And NYC being the epicenter isn't surprising considering it's far and away the largest and most global city in the US. However, for all the social distancing and other measures currently happening, one must wonder how much of it is actually effective and whether the measures are worth the damaging long-term economic impact.

have you been living under a rock for the last three weeks?

social distancing is demonstrably effective. the countries that are doing the best are using a combination of that plus rigorous testing.

south korea, vietnam, cuba, and china have all been dealing with the virus very well.

and the virus is highly contagious and killing many people. so your second question is basically "is it worth saving thousands of lives if the economy suffers?"

if your answer to that question is anything but a strong "yes", then you are a sociopath.

(not to mention that thousands of people dying all over the world like this will also have a large effect on the economy)

everyone's paying for it ever since day 1. so many people close together in times square.
the pandemic could've ended much sooner if they listened by staying home and not travel so close together.

Halt the economy to minimize the spread of the virus & the number of sick and dead.

Or dont try to prevent the spread and let more people get sick & die, thus hurting the economy. And people needing care unrelated to the virus will die because the hospitals will already be vastly overcrowded, thus hurting the economy even more.

Yeah. The economy was getting wrecked either way. Theme parks, Theaters Restaurants, retail etc would see huge downturns regardless once enough people were sick.

Social distancing/lockdowns just made it get wrecked a little faster in exchange for saving hundreds of thousands of lives.

It's against the US constitution to limit freedom of movement unless under martial law, is what I have read. So they either need to break the law or do a potentially career/nation ending move

and americans take the constitution REALLY serously

Governor Cuomo issued a shelter in place order for all non-essential workers like two weeks ago. Isn't that what we're talking about? Seems very misleading of TC to claim we're not on "any lockdown."

I think the TC is talking about a literal military barricade. People living in New York have been sheltered in place for weeks, so the only possible thing they could be talking about is physically preventing people from leaving Manhattan. Which would induce mass riots and probably kill more people than the virus.

trump floated the idea of a tri state lockdown and Cuomo and the other Governors rightly said they could potentially sue him for that

the states require themselves to have enough power in case the federal government wants to power grab

we forget that federalism exists sometimes and think the federal government is the only thing that matters...

that plus americans dont take kindly to being forced to do certain things...it works better if its a suggestion. Start demanding things and people will say "fuck you". It's why America is so darn great and why we're especially vulnerable to pandemics.
