Northeast Ohio…keeps going down 
Since 3/16…positions down 63% and aircraft down 56%. Friday to Saturday down 18% and 13% respectively.
As i stated already earlier in this thread.
Meanwhile Austrian is operating the longest nonstop flight in airline history from Vienna down to Sydney for bringing their people back home.
There is a constitutional issue regarding freedom of travel in the US. Currently the Rhode Island National Guard is actively hunting New Yorkers to enforce a quarantine decree. New York is contemplating a lawsuit based on constitutional issues. Florida, where I live, is attempting to force New Yorkers to self isolate for 14 days. So far these snow birds are ignoring/circumventing these orders.

We have a Constitution which guarantees freedom of movement and association. We also have a clause in the Constitution, which when invoked (for example by the declaration of a National Disaster [or State of Emergency], which has now been invoked), Constitutionally limits peoples rights. Therefore our “given” rights of Freedom of Movement are now Constitutionally limited. And we all (in the most) agree with it.
Which is why, if you look closely, our Air Space is shut down completely. Not even GA. Only Military / Police up there. Some things are necessary. But the US folk usually are one dimensional.

Fortunately, the US Constitution does not allow for limits on freedom of movement. State governments cannot restrict travel between states, though they can enforce their own state laws regarding quarantine, etc. I find it disingenuous that regimes such as the UK where the infection rate is about .014% of the population (9,500/68,000,000) or the US where the rate is about .025% (85,000/330,000,000) go to such extremes under the guise of public health. The common influenza affects more people and has more deaths every year. One does not experience society shutting down during flu season.

There are vaccinations for flu. There are no vaccinations or treatments COVID-19, if measures are not taken to prevent the spread, it will kill millions.
Just because the symptoms are similar to flu, it’s not flu.

Very short thinking and simply wrong. But this should not be the topic of this thread.
In 2 months the US has had over 20,000 deaths from flu this year. That is 10 times greater than covid19 deaths. There is no effective vaccine against flu because it evolves quickly into an unprotected strain.
I do not want to restrict my GA air travel or any other personal travel due to minuscule health risks posed by SARS-CoV-2 (covid19), H1N1 (type A flu), H3N2 (type A flu), etc.
That doesn’t apply in times of declared crisis. It was tested in courts since… Civil War.
I want to reply but if I say what I’m thinking, I’m going to get myself banned.

Privileges and Immunities Clause of the United States Constitution states, “The Citizens of each State shall be entitled to all Privileges and Immunities of Citizens in the several States.” Corfield v. Coryell, 6 Fed. Cas. 546 (1823), freedom of movement has been judicially recognized as a fundamental Constitutional right. In Paul v. Virginia, 75 U.S. 168 (1869), the Court defined freedom of movement as "right of free ingress into other States, and egress from them. Freedom of movement under the “privileges and immunities” clause authority was given to the states. Ward v. Maryland, 79 U.S. 418 (1871) and United States v. Harris, 106 U.S. 629 (1883).
Thought exactly the same…
I would prefer coming back to the original topic.

There is not much traffic enroute to KOUN or KDVN. I fly to each at least once a month to visit relatives. Lately I get direct routing.
