"Any New Yorkers in there?

Rhode Island plans to send the National Guard out to knock door-to-door in an attempt to hunt down anyone who has arrived in the tiny state from New York City during the coronavirus pandemic. State police, meanwhile, have begun pulling over cars with New York state plates.

Gov. Gina Raimondo said anyone traveling there from New York will be ordered to undergo a 14-day quarantine and could face fines or even jail time if they're found to not comply..."

I wonder if they'll do the same thing in Canada with out of province plates.

I was talking to my north central, BC, Reserve connection. The poop is they shut down the Rez in Burns Lake. No traffic in by outsiders. Not even fellow natives. Not sure how much I believe it.

One does hear people talk about being afraid to leave a particular locale because they hear rumours they won't be allowed back in where they left. Those are pretty much all bogus at the moment though, I think.

Rhode Island SS rounds up New Yorkers and brings them to quarantine camps.

In Quebec, the Government has closed the roads towards 8 rural regions. Police is requiring a proof of residence to let people pass to avoid urban people to flee there.
