Coronavirus is one mutation away from infecting millions

Yep, never gonna see you push away a plate

Even if it’s trump rocks

Another solid contribution from you.

Because POTUS has the power to check re s at the local level of government.

Why does Di Blasio being a godawful leader make Trump a good one?

Still ignoring the fact that NY is a dem controlled state. Guaranteed if a red state had 25K deaths and NY had 500 or so, several of you would be pointing out daily how the repug lead state governments killed people.

Why are you folks so afraid to address the NY situation honestly instead of going for the November agenda? It's not a good look for ya's.

Are you saying this is wrong:

2. No, the president cannot simply order state and local officials to change their policies

Here we have issues that fall under the headings of both federalism and separation of powers. Let’s start with federalism.

Most readers will appreciate this already, but it needs to be said: Our cons utional order has a federal structure, meaning that (a) federal powers are supreme, yes, but limited in scope and (b) the state governments are independent en ies, not mere subordinate layers under and within the federal government (that is, the federal-state relationship is not similar to the way that counties and cities are subordinate layers under the state governments).

What follows from this? The federal government cannot commandeer the machinery of the state governments (or, by extension, of local governments). That is, the federal government cannot coerce the states into taking actions to suit federal policy preference. See, e.g., New York v. United States and Printz v. United States. And so, the federal government cannot compel state and local officials to promulgate different rules on social distancing and the like.

Trash closes down China with Fed guidelines to check people coming from China while thousands and thousands of infected Europeans walk through customs at Kennedy and Newark airports with nary a question seeding the out of NY. All the while a Trash is pounding his chest about he saved America by closing the border for Chinese and of course af the same time making his mythical “anybody can get a test that wants one” claim.

Surely you can do better than that. You didn't even address the question.

Instead of calling him a racist for his China decision perhaps the Dems should have asked for him to block travel from everywhere.

Worthwhile thread to read.

The Trump administration’s quarantine and travel ban in response to the Wuhan coronavirus could undercut international efforts to fight the outbreak by antagonizing Chinese leaders, as well as stigmatizing people of Asian descent, according to a growing chorus of public health experts and lawmakers.

The World Health Organization’s top official on Tuesday repeated concern that moves that interfere with transportation and trade could harm efforts to address the crisis, though he didn't directly name the United States. Meanwhile, unions representing flight attendants, nurses and teachers criticized the administration on Tuesday for not being forthcoming about what kind of screening and treatment individuals will undergo, and some members of Congress say they're concerned the efforts could stoke racial discrimination.

Revisionist history it's pervasive here.

So back based on lack of response after everyone popped off originally, I'm guessing that the president has basically no control over what state governments do. New York isn't the only state with an airport.

Seems like the real concern here is just swinging the pendulum to the other side of the aisle in November.
