radio call-in show here in Birmingham had some woman saying "we need to go to Houston but have heard the state troopers are stopping all cars",etc. which led to follow up calls like they are "quarantining all out of state residents for 14 days" other wild stuff.

What's the real story?

Texas is quarantining everyone from Louisiana for 14 days in the Texas visitor’s locker room with no AC.

Great. I had a feeling you would be one of the first in line with brilliant advice.

This is the OT. Not the book board, you old historian.

Quarantine for 14 days OR until you leave the state.

Take I-59 and you shouldn’t have any problems.

My sons girlfriend (she is a freshman at LSU and no pics) came to stay with us for a few days last week. She came from LC and was stopped at the border rest stop where she presented her paperwork. She said it didn't take long. She basically drove up, handed them her paperwork and drove off. We live outside Houston and she put our home as her quarantine address. The local police contacted her while she was here and had her stand outside and wave to them as they drove by as a quarantine check. I was surprised but they are following up.

I would have waved with my middle finger.

can we get a "i've heard a bunch of internet rumors from Facebook Karens and decided I would get to the bottom of it and post a thread on Tigerdroppings OT board" board?

On I-20 you have to get off at an exit where there are 6-10 Troopers and they just flag you through, came over this morning from Monroe

It’s sad that people are willing to sit 14 days in quarantine just because they HAVE to go to Texas to find a job

Texas cracks me up. They stop ALL Louisianians, USA citizens, but have a wide open border with Mexico for cheap labor. UNAMERICAN AHOES
