Default Any updates on travel bans?

I have seen various reports on individual states enforcing travel bans, particularly on residents of those areas suffering high rates of corona virus infections. Rhode Island is reported to have multiple checkpoints manned by state police and national guard troops, and in some areas they appear to be doing door-to-door searches that particularly target New York residents for either mandatory quarantine or "get out of here" orders. Florida is also reported as becoming active in turning out of state residents away.

I claim no special knowledge or expertise on these things. I find these incidents, if true, interesting from a civil liberties standpoint.

Not trying to start a big dust-up argument, but I would appreciate hearing particulars from those with knowledge of what is actually going on (as opposed to internet gossip or mainstream media reports).

One of the major airlines was reported as cutting flights to/from the New York area. Not a ban, but an indicator, perhaps. Too late to find a link. Goodnight!

I read a day or two ago on a Lafayette, LA TV website that Texas has implemented check points all along the TX-LA border and you have to show where you will quarantine at for 2 weeks in TX. It's still open for essential workers though. I am presently working in TX, about 1/2 mile across the TX-LA border. When I came to work last Wednesday there were no troopers there. I do have an essential worker pass to let me through though. And since I stay at the rig in a trailer by myself, I even meet their quarantine requirements anyways since I am working a 14 and 14 schedule. All the folks here at the rig are kind of wary of outsiders coming in on location though and stay our distance from the truck drivers. And any third party people come out here to work, they will be required to wear gloves and masks or face shields and there are plans to check the casing crew out by screening them when they come out in the next day or so.

I'm just damned glad I am on a land job instead of on a rig offshore right now and being confined in a small living area.

EDIT: Here is a link to the story if you are interested. <<<LINK>>>

No real info other than I saw the Florida roadblock at the Georgia state line a few days ago as I left FL on I-95. They were stopping everyone.

Have a friend back in Md who told me there are some roadblocks in Delaware...especially for people trying to head to Rehoboth Beach. He was needing some cast bullets and got his daughter to pick them up from his supplier in Delaware. She is in law enforcement in Delaware. He loads her practice ammo too....In another bit of news he told me that there was a delivery of farm machinery in Delaware and there were 24 AK-47s delivered to the dealer...Somebody missed a pickup somewhere Supposedly from middle eastern address. More info may be forthcoming.

That doesn’t sound good. I hope they can trace and investigate that shipment on both ends.

A friend flew one way from New York to Miami Sunday night-he reported filling out a form on the plane that he submitted to a National Guardsman in the Miami airport. He acknowledged that he would self-quarantine for 14 days and that was it. There were 12 passengers on the flight.

Well I SAW the road block on westbound I20 at the Texas border coming back from dropping off my mother this past Sunday. It wasn't there the day before when we were bringing her.. What I read from the executive order was that if you were coming from LA and you were staying you had to give an address and self quarantine for 14 days. There would be random checks and if you weren't there you were subject to a misdemeanor of up to $1k and up to 6 months Jail time. My mother is subject to the 14 day quarantine but since we were not checked nobody knows she is there so ...meh. As long as I went to my destination and then came back home I am in compliance with the law but again since I wasn't checked nobody in Texas government knows that I was there-I could have driven around infecting everyone at Bucky's for all they know. Between us, I actually snuck into the Krogers for beer before I arrived at my destination. I feel like a Mexican
