I think we ARE "really on top of this thing",quoting Dr Jha...

Of course there are the idiots like the recent holders of a second line in New Orleans, the jerks holding their NJ weddings and any dope that is stealing/hoarding goods.

Those imperfections are noted.

This is a solid news source and was posted by a solid academic who studies epidemics. I reluctantly think it is true.

So, Ward - as our resident originalist and defended of all things Constitutional, what do you think of the claims, in NH and now in TX, that "stay-at-home" orders are unconstitutional?!

The Federal Government is restricted from national quarantines. The states not so much thanks to the 10th amendment and the Commerce Clause. on that basis I would says states have Constitutional authority.  At the state level public health safety seems to take precedence. Ohio postponed the democrat primary election citing the threat to health by the corona virus, basically ignoring a judge’s ruling to the contrary. Further the state’s rescheduled election will prohibit in person voting. And Ohio was among the first states to close non essential businesses, schools, etc.
I don’t know if Texas accords the state the same power in overseeing public health.
Every time Red mentions the Commerce Clause, I think of Indigo Montoya. You keep using that phrase. I dont think it means what you think it means.

For what it is worth, the 10th Amendment would not give the States the right to quarantine either. Neither it nor the Commerce Clause grant the states any rights they did not already have.

Well it certainly doesn't mean what he thinks it does in that post.
