Cape Cod’s year-round residents, alarmed by an influx of out-of-state license plates amid the coronavirus outbreak, are petitioning for the shutdown of the Bourne and Sagamore bridges — to keep out vacation homeowners and avoid overwhelming their small hospitals.
A Change.org petition to close the bridges, which had nearly 5,000 signatures by Monday afternoon, states: “Stop the spread of covid-19 close the bridges. only year round residence, medical personnel. Trucks that deliver essential supplies. While we love our tourists and summer residents this is not the time to come to the cape, out hospital can’t handle it. We only have 2 small hospitals here on cape, and limited medical staff. keep the residences and elderly safe on cape.”

It starts when you're always afraid.
One if by land, two if by sea.
I'm on the Cape, and the NY/NJ/CT license plates are showing up about six weeks earlier than usual. Just sayin'.
And, the lack of facilities is going to be an issue for residents and non-residents alike.
Good thing the media isn't throwing gasoline on the panic fire /s
My goodness, the quasi-illiteracy out on Cape Cod. Residences? No, residents.
She said she's only seen one person in 14 days...and just his bald head above the 6' fence. She named him Dave.
I think it's the guy on Tool Time.

Ping!
Ping!
Funny how all these liberal, Sanctuary states are suddenly discovering the usefulness of walls
If COVID-19 goes rampant on Cape Cod, they will have to pile up the corpses and burn them in mass funeral fires.
90% of the population is over 50.
You can have them turned on at any time. We had ours turned on 2 weeks ago.
Would these be the same types who don’t like border walls??
Wonder if they closed the bridge during the HIV/AIDS crisis to prevent people from going to P-Town?
It seems the New Yorkers are a menace to all. Especially to us in Pennsylvania.

Nope....back in the day they wanted the gays all to corn hole each other to death.
Times have changed.
Retired Old folks in multi million dollar homes are the economic back bone of Cape Cod.
Having said that I’ve spent as much time on the Cape as anyone and can’t say I understand the appeal.
DOH! I was wondering if the Fl Marine Patrol was going to be looking for boats with LA registrations. There’s a few miles of coast line to keep an eye on. Rent a car with FL tags?
Of course not. In leftist-land certain approved groups retain the right to assemble in large numbers. PC prevents contagion because that’s just wrong.
Remember that song, “ Coughing my way through Chatham?”
