NEW YORK (Reuters) - The governors of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut announced on Wednesday that visitors from states with high coronavirus infection rates must self-quarantine for 14 days on arrival.

Those states are Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, Texas, Utah and Washington, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo told reporters.

“This is a smart thing to do,” New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy said via video at a joint news conference in New York City. “We have taken our people, the three of us from these three states, through hell and back, and the last thing we need to do right now is subject our folks to another round.”

New York was for a time the epicenter of the novel coronavirus outbreak but has since lowered its infection rate after locking down much of its economy.

1. While absolutely the right thing to do in my opinion, it just begs the Tucker Carlsons

of the world to frame it as more Red vs. Blue bullshit.

2. Who cares? I haven't done all this work to let some acolyte of Donny Bodybags infect me.

Tucker et all can say whatever they like.

Fox was doing masking and distancing in their offices at the same time they were telling their watchers it was all a hoax. For a long time.

5. Tucker has the eyes and ears and minds of millions - do you?

I know and you know that the Fox studios are located on 6th. Avenue in New York City and that they put in safety measures for their staff very early on, but not so much the viewership.

So, yes it does matter.

6. So we shouldn't do it? Because we fear Tucker's hissy?

3. I wish PA would join.

Wolf is up against a childish GOP legislature.

4. Enforce it with border checks.

Yes u can. Either go back or you will be forcibly quarantined. Hotels are perfect for it.

Michigan needs to join it.
