Commercial vehicles get to go through on I-10 at the Florida Alabama line no matter where they came from. What? I know
why they are doing it so they can get their load delivered but isn’t this defeating the purpose? Doesn’t the governor and everybody else know that a lot of people are going to lie about what states they have visited especially if it’s one of the states in question? What about the other roads people are traveling into the State of Florida to bypass this checkpoint or just entering the State of Florida from other roadways? Do you really think if they do say yes to the questions, fill out the form, that they are really going to quarantine theirselves? Probably not. I don’t know what the answer is, but I don’t see how the procedure taking place at this time is working or will work.

Is there any new information about this? I am hoping
To travel to Mississippi State for a month long visit with
My kids and grandbabies, we had this planned
For almost a year now. Had to postpone it last
Month for this covid 19 epidemic. This sucks the
Big one. Should I stay or can I go? Heart breaking.

Citizen, Desantis should have shut everything down earlier, especially the beaches, considering we were being bombarded with spring breakers. I think he’s shown a serious lack of judgement and innocent people will suffer the consequences.

Here is my thoughts on this after having to call the phone number for the “drive thru testing at SHH” – people can just lie and there’s no way they will ever know so they are excused (and no I did not lie). If someone is trying to get back home from wherever – do you think they are going to tell those cops they were in Louisiana or one of the other high risk states? Hell no! Same on the testing questions. They asked me 3 questions- 1) Have you traveled Internationally in the past 30 days – No 2) Have you been on a cruise in the past 30 days – No 3) Have you had fever in the past 2 weeks – No. Their response – you don’t meet the criteria to have to do the testing so who is your primary doctor so I can send them the ok for you to return to work!
That was it – now I’m no doctor but that seemed to be a very mediocre questionnaire for such a deadly virus in my opinion. And like I said, if I was one of those people who was desperate to go back to work to support my family (thank goodness I’m not in that category), I could have easily answered the questions to suit whatever my situation was. My point is – 3 questions to a potential virus carrier? That is crazy to me. This is going to get much worse for everyone so please stay out of the public as much as possible and for God’s sake-PLEASE keep your children at home! I pray for all of us – that’s all we are going to have in the end.

NOT LEGAL on March 29th, 2020 8:58 am
Fly to Hawaii before Covid-19 issue ever started and you had to answer written questions before you ever disembark the plane.
So YES, it is legal!

Too bad they did not do this after Katrina. Maybe the crime rate would not be so high in Pensacola.

@Cory
Do you actually think that LEO’s would WANT to put ourselves knowingly in harms was by stopping vehicles from known hot spots and initiating contact with them JUST to tell them the same thing that the news has been telling them for the last month? Then to go back to our familys with that? I agree with @fisherman. Stay away from Florida.

@Cory
Then you should not come to Florida.I have a great idea for the Government just sit back and let the entire country do what it wants to do. When people start dying in the thousands just say we tried to do something to prevent this but you didn’t want us to do it.
