Cuomo pushed back on Trump's suggestion to quarantine the entire tri-state area around New York: 'I don't know how that could be legally enforceable'

"I spoke to the president about the ship coming up and the four sites, I didn't speak to him about any quarantine," Cuomo told reporters"I don't know how that could be legally enforceable. From a medical point of view, I don't know what you would be accomplishing. I don't even like the sound of it," he said.

"A decision will be made, one way or another, shortly," Trump said. The White House has already asked New Yorkers who plan on leaving the state to self-quarantine for 14 days. The number of confirmed cases of COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus, continue to climb in New York, Cuomo said.

On top of that, New York recorded 7,681 new cases since Friday, bringing the total case count to 52,318, Cuomo said. "It's smarter to keep the COVID patients separate. You don't want a person who goes into the hospital with one situation developing COVID because they happen to be exposed," he said.

If this were a terrorist attack, I bet you’d figure this out pretty quickly NYGovCuomo. Put up barriers. Pull people over and turn them around. Enforce heavy fines for out-of-state cars. DO IT NOW. You’re already late.

Ask Xi Jinping how to enforce total lockdown “legally” when absolutely necessary 🤔

I am been saying this for the last couples of tweets: Trump is following “Contagion” movie script.

Why not? Put up a wall!
