'Don't come here': Governor authorizes checkpoints at state lines to keep travelers from COVID-19...
https://www.fox35orlando.com/news/dont-come-here-governor-authorizes-checkpoints-at-state-lines-to-keep-travelers-from-covid-19-epicenters-outTALLAHASSEE - Gov. Ron DeSantis said Friday he is adding New Orleans and other areas of Louisiana to a list of COVID-19 hotspots, requiring travelers from the state to self-isolate if they come to Florida.

To enforce the Louisiana restrictions, DeSantis said he would authorize the Florida Highway Patrol and local enforcement agencies to establish checkpoints at Florida entry areas along roads such as Interstate 10. DeSantis said the restrictions would not affect commercial drivers.
“There is a fear that as New Orleans becomes more of a hotspot, you could have an influx of people into the Florida Panhandle from Louisiana,” DeSantis said.
Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards said he doesn't want his state's residents on the roads.

OMG....how stupid and cowardly! He really thinks he can stop motorists on I-10 ?? And he won't order stay-at-home for his OWN state of Florida ?
Jesus.
