Wow!!
@SweetMae These politicians need to be careful...they're bordering on Posse Comitatus. Anyway, the National Guard in any state would be ineffectual. 1. They themselves are "citizen soldiers", not vulnerable to this disease? 2. They don't have the manpower to do anything effectual unless it was on a very small scale, and what would they do if those affected by their presence did not follow their directives?

@soar2newhighs I don't believe the National Guard received instructions to impede citizens. Thinkerbell noted that there was an update to the story, and Cuomo only ordered them there to help the citizens sterilize infectious sites.
Posse Comitas would not come into play. Governors do have the power to summon the National Guard at need in case of rioting or a declaration of martial law, but since it is only for cleaning, NA.

@4meAndyou I did say they're bordering on CP, but that's not a Governor's decision, and I realize that, but from what I've read, they're being used to disinfect a synagogue? That's ludicrous to employ the NG to do that. as I said, when NY State and City had issues with many in the Jewish community over vaccinations, no such actions other than shutting down certain school was done. No NG needed.
