Tamburino Talks Law: Minnesota on New York State Travel Advisory List

Click Here to Listen to Tamburino Talks Law: Minnesota on New York State Travel Advisory List Gov. Andrew Cuomo of New York recently added Minnesota to the list of approximately 22 states that are part of New York special travel advisories and quarantine rules. New York decided that any person traveling to New York from a state that has a positive Covid-19 testing rate in excess of 10%, or a number of positive cases exceeding 10 per 100,000 residents, based on a 7 day rolling average, must self quarantine for 14 days before they are allowed to travel freely within New York state.

If our economy bottoms out, the dollar’s value will plummet, no one will buy government bonds, and our economy will shrink to such a degree that it will rival the worst years of the Great Depression in the 1930s. We can’t continue to stay home, not work, not spend $, and not produce goods and services. We need to get back to work. Therefore, the government should change its social policy immediately to one where all people over 70 and/or people who have underlying immunocompromised medical conditions should stay home and self-quarantine, and the rest of us should go to work.
