Good news for you Slimgirljo!!! Stay safe and get social
I have a question, these places with limited capacity, such as stores....I went to a store that had a sign up saying 'only 71 people allowed'. But how do they get that number and who counts them?? There is no one in there tapping patrons on the head going 'ok, you're # 59, cone on in'. So are the signs merely another governmental mandate that's being ignored like the no mask-no entry signs?
And another thing that makes no sense to me is we're not allowed to cross the state border 15 minutes away to shop in a different small town BUT we can travel 80 miles to shop in our state's biggest city where Covid has killed many.
If I wanted to shop in that small town 15 minutes away, my dh would technically have to self-quarantine for 10-14 days.

We have counters at the entry and exit of our stores...we are currently at 25% capacity or 75 people, whichever is smaller.
We also have a state wide mandate to quarantine if we travel out of state, but there's no way to really enforce that. My work also has that rule for either traveling out of state or having out of state visitors...I'm sure some people are doing it and just not telling anyone...but if we happen to get caught, there is disciplinary action up to and including termination.4 -

Bigger stores here do have a person counting those coming in and out. Really small stores don't need that, since it's obvious (this is true for most of the little places in my neighborhood shopping district), and they often have their max numbers posted on the door. Some other places seem to have other means -- initially my local supermarket was trying to do it by requiring everyone to take a cart (and only one person per party), and having limited carts and someone handing them out and wiping off the handles, but this was a flop.
State borders aren't enforced from what I can see (not at all, and I don't think it's possible in the US), but if they were (and from the beginning) like in Australia, I think we'd be better off, so I don't consider that necessarily unreasonable as an idea. Your state has certain rules but if people come and go from states that are more lax (my state/area is near states that are more lax, which is part of why we have had a new spike where I am, IMO, even though we have the unenforceable quarantine rules), it does little good. It's true that in some cases traveling throughout a state can do the same thing, but it's even less possible to limit that (or require quarantine for going to another county). Some places outside of the US have recommended limiting travel to quite close around your house, but I don't think anywhere in the US has tried that (maybe NY?).
Yeah most states have literally hundreds of roads connecting with neighboring states. Impossible to patrol all of them.
Not only is it difficult or impossible to enforce because of logistics, but a legal argument can be made because the U.S. Constitution allows us to "travel unmolested amongst the several states" (something like that... I didn't look it up, just going from memory). How well that legal argument stands up in court, though, I can't opine.1 -

You are in NH, yes? Looks like visits to Maine, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island are currently excluded from needing to quarantine.

I'm in Vt. But it's a requirement at my dh's place of employment. I usually do loads of shopping in N.H., for the holidays but dh told me if I went there, he'd have to quarantine for 2 weeks. IDK some of the rules boggle my mind while others I thoroughly agree with.
Schools and some employers are asking students and workers if they spent Thanksgiving outside their home, with multi person gatherings, etc. If so, they're required to quarantine for 2 weeks and do remote learning.

I also think that's an interesting question, two questions actually -- how much restriction of normal freedom (travel, gathering, masks) during a pandemic (1) makes sense, and (2) is lawful to enforce. The US does have martial law provisions that don't (?) have a precedent for a public health emergency, but you could argue a pandemic is an emergency. Also, is martial law military enforcement of existing civil law vs. enforcement of new temporary measures?
ETA: realized after posting that this could be deemed political. Didn't intend it this way -- pure public health for my part.1 -

I don't think any court has yet held that expecting people from specific areas to quarantine once they arrive in the state is a violation of the ability to "travel unmolested." Of course, that could change. But I don't think any states have actually barred anyone or even tried to do that.1 -

I've been trying to get onto the walmart site for 2 days; either my computer is messed up(although everything else seems to work fine?) or walmart's messed up. Personally, it's just shopping for 2 little girls that I want to do because we've cut way down with all our shopping for everybody else this year. I'll either come up with different ideas or break down and shop locally which has close to zero options. 2 -
today I was on a call for work with a supplier and they mentioned delays due to Chinese New Year. My response was "I hope that CNY in 2021 is NOT LIKE the one in 2020 ......"
I don't know about everyone else but it seems like we have been waiting for CNY to end since March.....

The Constitution just says: "The citizens of each state shall be entitled to all privileges and immunities of citizens in the several states," although various cases have interpreted this to include a freedom of movement between states (and some have just found that to be an inherent right, which can be found from a combination of provisions/the 14th Amendment). I think an argument against a quarantine would be pretty tough, as people aren't being treated differently based on what state they reside in, but based on whether they've been to a place with an outbreak -- if I go to Indiana, I'm treated the same for quarantine purposes as someone from Indiana. But of course enforcing these is not being done and not really possible anyhow, at least not by the states. It's honor system.8 -

Exactly -- I'm not being asked to quarantine because I'm from another state. It's something that is being equally requested of visitors, new residents, and people native to Indiana who just went to North Dakota to visit family.
You can never predict what a court is going to do, but it would be hard to make the case that non-residents were being singled out because they aren't.5 -

I can't cite a specific instance ATM (I'm not as tuned in as you to the legal environment!), but it seems like in some of the court rulings I've been hearing about recently, the courts are slightly more willing to consider some (not all) freedom/rights limitations as being acceptable in the pandemic - things that would pretty clearly not be acceptable if there were no public health emergency.2 -

yes I saw that on our news slimjo - disappointing for NSW
Here in Australia state restrictions were certainly law and were enforced - I think Ive mentioned before my friend who got an exemption to visit NSW on compassionate grounds, a few months ago - when he returned to SA he had to do 14 days self isolation - and police came to his house at random times each day to check he was doing so.
Here in South Australia it is now mandatory to wear masks in all health facilities - nursing homes (not the residents who live there but staff, visitors, contractors), hospitals, GP surgeries, dentists etc etc. All people over 12 years old.
There are exemptions.
I work in a Dr's surgery - welcome to 100 excuses and complaints from patients
Also now have to check in to any health facilities, restarants, sports clubs etc - basically any public venue other than really quick in and out things, like paying for petrol.
Not sure about supermarkets.
You can either do it via an app on your smart phone, once you have it set up you just scan like a bar code - or if you dont have a smart phone or you dont have it with you, you can write name on paper record.
For contact tracing purposes.7 -
They should have kept our Aussie boarders closed till we have the vaccine, that is my view. Just waiting for Covid to start here in Queensland now we opened up. It was so nice not having to worry about it too much but now almost all states can come it's only a matter of time to have it here I guess.6

This supports what we were all thinking, that it was in the US far before the first "documented" case..The virus that causes COVID-19 may have been in the US as early as mid-December 2019, a month before the first confirmed case, based on antibodies found in donated blood. Widespread community transmission likely did not occur until February 2020.

I accept it may have been in a place a month before the first documented case
What worries me though is people self diagnosing in hindsight or making claims like they had a year and/or in a place long distance away

That’s a cool calculator, but given that doctors are still arguing about whether moderate asthma is a higher risk factor or not, I can’t tell whether I fall into “people with risk factors” in the middle or “others” at the very end of the line.
I know that the changing advice is because we keep learning more and it’s not actually a plot to drive me bonkers, but sometimes it feels like it.2 -
I know there were a few people here who tested positive and there may be more. Thought I'd share this. Free care kit for anyone who tested positive. Includes diffuser and essential oils.

That’s a cool calculator, but given that doctors are still arguing about whether moderate asthma is a higher risk factor or not, I can’t tell whether I fall into “people with risk factors” in the middle or “others” at the very end of the line.
I know that the changing advice is because we keep learning more and it’s not actually a plot to drive me bonkers, but sometimes it feels like it.
Same for me as a type 1 diabetic. I believe I'm at higher risk, but who actually gets to make that decision?! Doctors disagree... but to be fair, I've met a lot of doctors who don't understand the differences and that lack of understanding will lead many to conclude that type 1's are not at an increased risk.0 -
