Cuomo Deserves No Plaudits for His Handling of Crisis
American Greatness ^ | March 26, 2020 | Julie Kelly

...But neither Cuomo nor New York City Mayor Bill DeBlasio deserve attaboys. A toxic combination of Big Apple hubris, devotion to open borders regardless of the imminent threat, and Trump-hating obstinacy fueled a stubborn strategy that left their citizens vulnerable for months.

Further, New York’s political leaders have acknowledged that the world’s financial capital...the most densely populated city in the country—has no comprehensive plan to deal with a pandemic or any viral public health threat. Cuomo and DeBlasio have cobbled together a last-minute, slapdash strategy as COVID-19 spread across the globe and closed in on New York City.

By January 31, the day President Trump suspended flights from China, “outbreaks were already growing in over 30 cities across 26 countries, most seeded by travelers from Wuhan,” according to one model by the New York Times.

But even by late February, Cuomo boasted about his state’s accessibility to foreign travelers...

Thanks! :-)

I have given up, in utter despair, reading most posts here now. Most are inane, banal, tinfoil, damned vanities and/or FILLED WITH utter CRAP/LIES/DELUSIONAL OPINIONS.

Us “oldtimer” posters, here, do, but FR is now over run with those who know nothing at all about just about every topic known to mankind, but post their drivel nonetheless.

>>>Finally an honest, factual article!<<<

That the everyday person in this Country will never read nor be told about in the MSM.

And there was a FReeper here a few days ago, swooning over Cuomo and how he was handling the virus in NY.

I have been saying for days now that Cuomo is "Looking" great on TV, and that he will likely replace Biden as the democrat nominee. Of couse WE might know better, but with Cuomo, the media can boost him to greater heights than they can with Biden, who clearly is losing his mind.

Us Oldtimer FReepers remember when most posters added value, often direct information, to a thread. I don’t know how it slipped into a supposed FreeRepublic “tradition” of not reading the article. It’s still a great place, especially for live threads during big events .

What hurts me are people posting bad statistics that make America look bad and China look good. I also dislike our small expat community who have gone native until things go south in their euroweenie world. Or China, Vietnam, Mexico,Panama world.

We need to know more about the 2015 study in which it was pointed out that NY was not prepared for a pandemic. Whose bright idea was it to ignore the results of the study. Why pay for a study, if the results are going to be ignored? Does Cuomo have his grimy fingers on any of this?

Yeah, I think they see him as the only chance they have.

If he messes up NYC any more, I wonder what will happen to his support.

Shamefully; however, there is absolutely NO EXCUSE for the lack of knowledge here; none whatsoever! Nor the disgusting slobbering over this POS, by some Freepers!

It USED TO BE a "great place"; not so much now.

The damned vanities outnumber the news threads, there are crazy conspiracy theorists posting all kinds of really uneducated, very stupid things...even to factual threads, and posters opining on topics they either know very little to nothing about and don't understand it or even what they post. And many of those posters attack the ones who actually KNOW the facts/what they are talking about and run them off threads.

Way back when, we DID read the articles first; I still do!

LOL...I always DO tell how I really “feel” about things; however, most times I actually DO curb my tongue to some extent.

What this whole virus thing tells me is that the state and the city have wasted the taxpayer money. Probably some crooked stuff going on too

When did the Chinese begin having pregnant women come to the USA to have a baby, return to China with a brand new infant US citizen, ready to return whenever desired? I wonder if any of these citizens were among people who were not restricted from entering the USA despite the travel bans.

Why are we allowing dual citizenship? One passport and one allegiance per person should be enough.
