"Escape from New York"

For those who may recall this famous film, NYC was turned into a penal colony. Now the President is threatening to turn NY, NJ, CT and effectively all of New England into a penal colony. Science not withstanding, that would isolate almost 100 million people, since other than the Atlantic Ocean, there would be no land escape.

No scientific explanation, not data, just shout it out. Panic in a crowded theater. Somehow this virus has created a massive explosion of reckless talk. Are we being invaded by monsters from outer space, an asteroid, what next? There are times for judicious talk and leadership, isolating a third of the country while hopping on a ride for a photo-op is hardly presidential.

Pity folks.
