Funny how another guy who used to live at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave considered domestic travel restrictions too:
Trump says he’s considering restrictions on domestic travel from coronavirus hotspots
Limits on travel from Britain and Ireland are on the way, and President Donald Trump says travel restrictions for U.S. coronavirus hotspots such as the Seattle area are also being considered.www.geekwire.com
Same! I am currently wearing a surgical mask under my work-issued 2 ply nose-wire/fabric mask. And surprisingly, I've found that the surgical mask actually adds some stability to the whole thing, such that I'm no longer getting fabric in my mouth.
What is even funnier is how he didn't do it once the legal issues with doing so were pointed out to him. I doubt the White House could get away with a ban, they might be able to get away with required testing, but even that might prove too much to legally overcome. Again, common sense should be used, don't go out if you are sick, wash your hands, etc. but we are going way too overboard here.Funny how another guy who used to live at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave considered domestic travel restrictions too:

Military, federal employees, contractors etc. Yes. Interstate travel planes, trains and busses maybe
As an IT person as well, I agree with you completely.Which is not always a good thing.
Regardless, whether you're talking about the law or about the Constitution, my considered opinion -- admittedly, as an IT person, not a lawyer -- is that any attempt by the federal government to restrict the mobility of American citizens from one state to another would likely be quickly struck down by the courts. And I agree with you that Biden is not going to do it anyway.
Also, that is a TNG-era red alert sound (you can hear the Enterprise-D background noises) with a TOS movie-era red alert graphic. For shame.
Not really breaking news........that has been the case for a LONG time now.
I would expect the best they could pull is mandatory rapid tests at airports departing FL and “asking” Governors who have not already done so to impose a 10-day quarantine on people traveling from FL. That’s about all the POTUS can do. I suspect the “threat” about mandatory testing for domestic travel is another attempt to ensure all businesses understand how they need to interact with the new sheriff in town.Which is not always a good thing.

It seems to me that common sense would be... hey what worked for Australia and New Zealand? Let’s do that.
It’s a little late to close off the island.
A new President does not want a series of legal challenges so early in his term. If he makes threats but doesn’t follow through, the early headlines are enough to give him a lot of what he wants (many people will cancel Spring Break in FL plans) without having to actually do anything. Controlled “leaks” used as trial balloons are pretty brilliant. He should go into politics.
Australia is a continent, not an island. They had to restrict movement within the country. Nothing they did is impossible for the USA to do.
It’s also an island...and one which they closed off early in the pandemic to significantly prevent cases from ever arriving. They lock-down over a case. America stays open over 300k cases in a day.
Feelings much. Get this thing taken care of intelligently.
Lead time? Now I feel like we're so off track from the original comments that maybe you just like arguing
