CORONAVIRUS Death Thread

[Mushman]

Reporting in from NJ.

Yesterday our governor passed executive order 103. It gives the state the power to confiscate property personal or private needed to help with the "crisis".

Meanwhile I'm going to work every day because I'm an "essential" employee. I've seen zero evidence of crisis in my area or state.

Preventative action is the best action for infectious disease. By the time it is reactive it is too late. This is doubly true for the supercold sweeping the world atm.

I authorize and empower the State Director of Emergency
Management, who is the Superintendent of State Police, in
conjunction with the Commissioner of DOH, to take any such
emergency measures as the State Director may determine necessary,
including the implementation of the State Emergency Operations
Plan and directing the activation of county and municipal emergency
operations plans, in order to fully and adequately protect the
health, safety and welfare of the citizens of the State of New
Jersey from any actual or potential threat or danger that may exist
from the possible exposure to COVID-19. The State Director of
Emergency Management, in conjunction with the Commissioner of DOH,
is authorized to coordinate the relief effort from this emergency
with all governmental agencies, volunteer organizations, and the
private sector.

[Gwaihir]

The State Director of Emergency Management, in
conjunction with the Commissioner of DOH, shall also supervise
and coordinate all activities of all State, regional and local
political bodies and agencies in order to ensure the most effective
and expeditious implementation of this order, and, to this end,
may call upon all such agencies and political subdivisions for any
assistance necessary.

3. Given the concurrent invocation of both a State of
Emergency pursuant to N.J.S.A. App.A.:9-33 et seq. and a Public
Health Emergency as contemplated by N.J.S.A. 26:13-1 et seq., I
reserve the right as specifically contemplated by N.J.S.A. 26:13-
3 to exercise the authority and powers specific to the Emergency
Health Powers Act as I deem necessary and appropriate to ensure
the public health for New Jersey’s residents.

[Gwaihir]

4. It shall be the duty of every person or entity in this
State or doing business in this State and of the members of the
governing body and every official, employee, or agent of every
6
political subdivision in this State and of each member of all other
governmental bodies, agencies, and authorities in this State of
any nature whatsoever, to cooperate fully with the State Director
of Emergency Management and the Commissioner of DOH in all matters
concerning this state of emergency.

6. I authorize and empower the executive head of any agency
or instrumentality of the State government with authority to
promulgate rules to waive, suspend, or modify any existing rule,
where the enforcement of which would be detrimental to the public
welfare during this emergency, notwithstanding the provisions of
the Administrative Procedure Act or any law to the contrary for
the duration of this Executive Order, subject to my prior approval
and in consultation with the State Director of Emergency Management
and the Commissioner of DOH. Any such waiver, modification, or
suspension shall be promulgated in accordance with N.J.S.A. App.
A:9-45.

8. I authorize and empower the State Director of Emergency
Management, in conjunction with the Commissioner of DOH, to order
the evacuation of all persons, except for those emergency and
governmental personnel whose presence the State Director deems
necessary, from any area where their continued presence would
present a danger to their health, safety, or welfare because of
the conditions created by this emergency.
