President Trump, moving with haste to slow the spread of the coronavirus, is preparing a plan to mobilize the National Guard to help enforce a two-week quarantine of the public if his tough-love efforts so far fail.
The unprecedented action would require everyone to “stay at home,” according to a source knowledgeable of the evolving plan.
The effort, which is still being mulled and wouldn’t be announced until early next week if needed, would urge that all businesses, except grocery stores and pharmacies, be closed.
It comes on the heels of other insider reports that the president is considering grounding all U.S. passenger flights to force a halt in people interacting and moving around the country.

In some areas, the National Guard has already been called out to enforce “stay in place” orders, a model of what Trump is considering.
They will announce this as soon as they have troops in place to help prevent looters and rioters and will announce before the end of the weekend.

What we became is a war zone. We’ve been attacked by a Chinese WMD.
Now, if Hitlery was in the White House and was doing this, this board would melt.
The worst part is my cat won’t stop discussing politics...and he’s a Marxist.
Is this Paul Bedard guy trustworthy?

prison in your own home, so we the “criminals” get to pay for the housing and the military to keep us incarcerated therein
Paul Bedard is a good journalist.
Quarantine NYC area.
NO.
Nonsense. There are many other places that must stay open. What about truckers? Fuel stations? Are power plants closing? What about water utilities are they closing for two weeks? Food warehouses? Farms closing? We going to shut down oil refineries and petrochemical plants? Steel mills going to go cold? Paper companies, cardboard box makers? Food processing plants? And those are just a tiny small number that I site.
I see the liquor stores are still open in your neck of the woods. ;o)
It’s too late to quarantine Metro NYC.
Hello Trump, grocery stores and drug stores need people working in factories, making the products that go on the shelves. Good grief this hysteria is going to kill this country, over flu-like symptoms.
Nailed it, ealgeone.
Never too late.
NYC is going to get worse. Dems know they can trigger riots at any time by shutting down liquor stores. If Trump does it all the better for them. But no worries. Bernie & AOC are on hand to pick up the pieces of the destroyed American economy.
More anonymously sourced bullshit.
Top National Guard general refutes nationwide coronavirus quarantine rumors
POTUS can’t be so stupid as to shut down the entire economy save for grocery stores and pharmacies. How the hell would those businesses get the products to stock their shelves?
Agreed.
Trump doesn't have the LEGAL authority to do any such thing.
