You don't need a national response. You need rational governors like those in New York and New Jersey. And you need intelligent citizens who respect each other, wear masks and keep social distancing. This doesn't have to be complicated and it certainly shouldn't be political fodder unless life doesn't really matter. Of course you need a national response. Corona virus is going to spread through the entire country. Fact. New York got hit harder and earlier than any other part of the country, it is now hitting locations in the South and west. Wearing cloth on your face or travel bans will not stop it.(it will reach every part of the inhabited globe). The most pertinent question is, Can those that came in to contact with it AND those that showed symptoms but recovered get re-infected? If the answer is yes, this will be around for years.

I hope you're wrong! But I do see a lot of people aren't taking it seriously.

It would have taken balls for Federal leadership to step up and call that shot though. But the Prez decided it wasn't his "responsibility". Or in the constitution lol

51 years ago we put an American on the moon, now we can’t put an American in the Bahama’s.

Jets and Giants announced today that they will be playing this season without allowing any fans. There was hope that they would possibly limit attendance to a lower percentage, it not even that. Have to believe that will lead to no fans allowed for MAAC basketball games. Really feel bad for guys like Ross, Cashaw and Van Eyck. Came to Iona to play for Cluess and unfortunately Cluesa misses season and retires. Yeah, get to be coached by Pitino but likely without fans in attendance and possibly only conference games. We're all doomed. Hopefully a poke shop! LMAO!

Or in the constitution lol For reasons some here are aware, I did not take any American History classes until at college at Iona. A few weeks back, I was in a discussion of US politics with some friends here in St. Louis. They are not Trumpers, they are not conservative, they are not liberal. These people are educated, some in well regarded catholic institutions here in St. Louis. I was and am shocked at the lack of insight into the role of political party, of US government structure, of State structure. This was not about who is right or who is wrong - it was basic structure. Surely, 70's post is not another reflection of this phenomenon. Just saying, I have to take a test in order to vote in this country.

Just going try to focus this discussion, If Corona can re-infect those that previously had it, we are in this for the long haul. If it sweeps through every state/region(which it will) and large amounts of people gain immunity we should be ok for the hoops season.

Or in the constitution lol OK, I'll bite. Tell me exactly where in the constitution it prevents the president form taking control of the response? When Trump wanted to take control of New York all the news channels and Cuomo reported that it was at the governors level to respond and they said Cuomo didnt need to listen to trump

Worry about your own state arresting people who stand on their front porch

That has nothing to do with the constitution, but OK.
