He so doesn't get it

Trump floats three state lockdown

Here’s the White House pool report on what Trump said just now:

"We’d like to see NY quarantined because it’s a hotspot – New York, New Jersey, maybe one or two other places, certain parts of Connecticut quarantined. I’m thinking about that right now. We might not have to do it but there’s a possibility that sometime today we’ll do a quarantine – short-term two weeks for New York, probably New Jersey and parts of Connecticut.”

The idea is to lock down before the area becomes a hotspot, not because it already is one.
