Has that ever happened before? Is it constitutional/within the state’s rights to do so?
Lol just in time to remind everyone what an enormous turd he is.
So I can’t shop at Michael’s or Hobby Lobby anymore. Tough times for artists who like to eat paint chips.

Not going to shock anyone but my old boss, who’s Russian, told me he knows people who have the symptoms but can’t get tested because the govt doesn’t want to mess up the statistics.
Good thing we don’t live in a fucked up country like that!

Fuck those people hoarding this drug. My cousin has Lupus and has already had her refill pushed back to the last possible moment.

Not 100% sure if this is real but a 22er is corroborating that he knows people who probably have it and all of them lost their sense of taste and smell early.
Ok skynews is legit right?

I don’t know if it has ever happened before, not to my knowledge.
IANAL but I would guess that the Federal Government could override a state border shutdown if they wanted to. The constitution grants them broad powers to legislate on interstate commerce, and interstate tourism is an example of interstate commerce. I don’t think they would actually do it, though. SA is not a very economically important state.
The Northern Territory, which is the size of a state (close to Alaska-sized, actually) but doesn’t have the full self-governance of a state, is closing its borders now. Last I checked they only had one COVID-19 case and there are like 5 road entry points into the whole Territory or something, so it makes sense for them. The Feds could definitely intervene there, they can override any law of a territory at will. Also, Tasmania has already implemented a 14-day quarantine for anyone entering the state from the mainland, which is acting as a de facto border closure.
Pence and his Wife negative. Sorry everyone.
Possibly, but I wouldn’t take their word for it.

Meh, sort of? Its Murdoch without Ailes. like Fox news lite. Looks like an actual journalism though.
Why do guys like Trump and Putin want low numbers? Why would they care?
This is insane. Hospitals are full of it and this sounds like straight up blackmail.

I’ve been a life long quasi-germaphobe so I looked into this a long time back. IIRC, it’s true for many respiratory viruses. The risk is probably not precisely zero, but it is substantially lower than if the exposure is through the respiratory tract.
So my inclination, without looking into it any further, is that it’s probably true.
