Texas governor orders all travelers from Louisiana to self-quarantine for two weeks

Gov. Greg Abbott signed an executive order mandating that all Louisiana residents who enter the state of Texas to self-quarantine to stop the spread of the coronavirus.

Louisiana has one of the largest COVID-19virus outbreaks in the United States outside of New York. In order to stop a larger outbreak of the coronavirus from occurring in Texas, Abbott requested that Louisiana residents seeking refuge in Texas self-isolate on Sunday.

The order expands on a previous one that was limited to travelers from New Orleans.

"My prior executive order about travel from New Orleans covered air travel from New Orleans into the state of Texas. Now, I am updating that executive order to also include travel by road. Travel by road from any location in the state of Louisiana. Importantly, this executive order does not apply to travel related to commercial activity, military service, emergency response, health response, or critical infrastructure functions," Abbot explained.

If they had decent state leaders who stopped blaming the federal government for their own failures, maybe the poor folks who live there actually COULD take care of themselves.....

Character still matters.  It always matters.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.

"Sometimes I think the Church would be better off if we would call a moratorium on activity for about six weeks and just wait on God to see what He is waiting to do for us. That's what they did before Pentecost."   - A. W. Tozer

Use the time God is giving us to seek His will and feel His presence.

Texas to enforce quarantine orders to Louisiana drivers entering state

Gov. Greg Abbott is tightening travel to Texas by ordering some motorists from Louisiana to self-quarantine for two weeks.

The new travel restrictions come as Louisiana's status as a novel coronavirus hotspot grew Sunday to more than 3,500 positive cases statewide. Abbott said drivers with commercial, medical, emergency response, military or critical infrastructure purposes for entering Texas would be exempted.

State troopers will enforce the order at checkpoints at major roadways along the border. Those asked to quarantine will be asked to provide an address for where they plan to hold up in Texas, either for two weeks or until their return to Louisiana, whichever is comes first.

Guess I won't be traveling to Texas.  Or Florida.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-
