Yes, every governor has the same power under an emergency declaration.”
It AMAZES me to see how few of us well-informed people had NO CLUE as to what powers government has, should the need arise. They seem to have been caught totally FLAT-FOOTED on this.
(And personally, I’m glad about these powers. I want our Emergency Rooms having open slots for my parents, should they get a heart attack or similar. I DO NOT want a bunch of selfish Millennials taking up those beds because they didn’t want to interrupt their party time due to political leaders begging them to socially isolate.)
