Brag/arg: I mentioned a few weeks ago that my wife had to drive up to MA. The reason is that she got invited

Posted by prayformojo (aka mayhem) Jul 24 '20, 10:53

to speak at her high school alma mater's graduation. I think that was a great call, as she's done a hell of a lot with her career.

The snag came today, when Mass. passed an ordinance that anyone coming in from out of state had to present a recent negative COVID test. So, now we're scrambling trying to figure out how we can get her and Abby tested in short order.

The travel restrictions go into place on August 1. -- nm - decline Jul 24, 11:15 4
- huh. She's driving up on Thursday and staying until August 8. We'll have to see if she'd be grandfathered in. -- nm - prayformojo Jul 24, 11:27 3
  - Staying at a hotel? Check with them too to see if they're going to demand proof. -- nm - Max Jul 24, 11:28 2
    - staying at her mom's in MA, but overnighting in a hotel in Jersey. -- nm - prayformojo Jul 24, 11:34 1
      - I'd say check with them too, they have some restrictions as well. -- nm - loosilu Jul 24, 11:42

how would they check someone driving into the state? -- nm - Diva Jul 24, 10:56 19
- Don't know, other than having out-of-state plates. Still, it's a $500 fine..... -- nm - prayformojo Jul 24, 11:08 5
  - **per day** -- nm - decline Jul 24, 11:14
  - Oh shit. Oh shit. I'm supposed to drive there tomorrow. -- nm - loosilu Jul 24, 11:11 2
    - drive to the board and stop at a diner and then steal somebody's license plates to use -- nm - decline Jul 24, 11:12 1
      - I'm ok, takes effect 8/1. -- nm - loosilu Jul 24, 11:18
  - oh, I hear you. -- nm - Diva Jul 24, 11:11
- Isn't it all just one "big" state up there called New England? -- nm - Blue Punch Baron Jul 24, 10:57 11
  - Blue England -- nm - Qale Jul 24, 11:28
  - Just checked the EO. All of New England, as well as NY and NJ, are exempt. -- nm - loosilu Jul 24, 11:17
  - not with New Hampshire involved - eff them! -- nm - Diva Jul 24, 11:00 8
    - Oh, Jed Bartlet gonna get you for that. -- nm - Blue Punch Baron Jul 24, 11:01 7

        Amen, and I apologize that I didn't respond to that in my post. People suck, and honestly, it doesn't really surprise me it was NH. -- nm - loosilu Jul 24, 11:46
        
        NH is functionally a direct extension of MA. It's the outlet mall. -- nm* - loosilu Jul 24, 11:10
        
        That reminds me of this -- (link) - Dano Jul 24, 11:05 [youtube]
