White House coronavirus taskforce advises people who've left NYC to quarantine for 14 days

The top response coordinator for the White House’s coronavirus task force, Dr. Deborah Birx, warned people who have been in the New York City metropolitan area to self-quarantine for the next two weeks if they've left town as the contagion continues to spread within the nation’s largest city.

Birx said on Tuesday that people living in New York City – arguably the epicenter of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States with more than 13,000 confirmed cases in the city alone – should isolate themselves from others if they have left the city for an area with less infections.

"Everybody who was in New York should be self-quarantining for the next 14 days to ensure that the virus doesn't spread to others,” Birx said.

Birx noted that 60 percent of new cases in the country are coming from the New York metropolitan area.

1. Are you kidding me?

They send us 400 ventilators out of 30,000 requested (while sending a swing state with far fewer cases everything they asked for) and then ask us to kindly stay in NY, where the hospitals are already getting overwhelmed, to avoid bothering the rest of the country?

I've been a good girl and practiced social distancing like they said but now I'm wondering if I should take a road trip to Pennsyltucky at the first sign of a cough.
