Sunday on CNNs "State of the Union," Jake Tapper asked NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio if his comments telling people to go about their normal lives during the early stages of the coronavirus pandemic could have contributed to the massive outbreak in New York.
(snip)
"Jake, we should not be focusing, in my view, on anything looking back," he replied. "This is just about how we save lives going forward... This was a very different world just a short time ago."
"Mr. Mayor, werent your actions in this outbreak also far, far behind the curve?" Tapper stated.
"I think the big historical point here that will be looked back on is if this country had the testing we needed this could have been a very different reality," de Blasio said.

Oh nooes...off to the gulags for Tapper...
The media stirs up trouble for ratings, they do very little to actually help the situation.
Agree. First stone throwers, take note. (Except sub “mistake” for “sin”.)
Cuomo is know where near as formidable as the media paint him. I am a former New Yorker, and still have family there. Andrew Cuomo is not much smarter than Fredo, on CNN.

Secy of State Mike Pompeo Says He Has List; American Pols Named as 'Friendly' by Communist China
pjmedia.com ^ | 2/9/2020 | MEGAN FOX In a shocking speech to the National Governors Association, Secretary Mike Pompeo revealed that he is in possession of a list of American governors who have been listed as "friendly" by Chinese Communist infiltrators.
Pompeo said he had received an earlier invitation from a former governor to attend a networking event that promised great "deal-making" opportunities with the Chinese government.
This networking event was run by "The Chinese People's Association for Friendship in Foreign Countries," said Pompeo.
But what the US participants might not have known is that "the group is the public face of the Chinese Communist party's official foreign influence agency, the United Front Work Department." Pompeo knew of this connection from his former position at the CIA.
He questioned the governors on how many of them knew that this group was a Communist-front group.
"What if you made a "new friend" at the China networking event?" he asked. "What if your 'new friend' offered to invest big money in your state, perhaps in your pension fund, an industry sensitive to our national security?"
And then Pompeo dropped a huge bomb on the crowd.
"These aren't hypotheticals. Last year a Chinese government-backed think tank in Beijing produced a report that assessed all fifty of America's governors on their attitudes toward China. They labeled each pol friendly, hardline, or ambiguous."
Pompeo continued, "I'll let you decide where you think you belong, someone in China already has. Many of you, indeed, in that report, are referenced by name."

Nice comeback, pg.
===========================================
As the virus mutated globally, Trump was fending off vicious attacks by Botoxian Pelosi, wigged-out Maxine,
pencil-neck Schiff........and the rest of the hate-filled, vengeful Democraps.
Here Pelosi gleefully signs the articles of impeachment---handing out personalized pens as souvenirs.
Penlosi then sat on the articles, refusing to send them to the Senate---tying the president hands---
as the virus kept growing in strength, as people were getting infected......and dying
Its telling how when it comes to Democrats how the past is the past.
Trump is handling cuomo very well. Little by little the NYC corruption is being exposed. When it appears that Trump is caving to cuomo, it's actually Trump showing how much he cares for us.
Cuomo's daily pressers will be his downfall.
Here's what I don't understand.
What are the mechanisms in place to avoid this situation?
Is there some sort of international law, perhaps through the U.N., that require reporting of a wide virus or some such to the rest of the world?
I keep hearing that China didn't report and I'm not sure, besides good human courtesy, there's any rule that says they have to.
DEMOCRATS IN LOCK-STEP---as usual.
Pelosi recently virtue-signaled her loyalty to China; She went to Cali Chinatown and tweeted:
"It was a pleasure to make fortune cookies at the Golden Gate Fortune Cookie Factory" she said. The cookie message? United We Stand.

When he threw his hat into the 2020 ring, Biden came out swinging.
He mocked President Donald Trumps position on China at a campaign rally.
BIDEN: China is going to eat our lunch? Come on, man...they cant even figure out how to deal with the fact that they have this great division between the China Sea and the mountains in the east, I mean in the west. Biden continued they cant figure out how theyre going to deal with the corruption that exists within the system. I mean, you know, theyre not bad folks, folks. But guess what, theyre not, theyre not competition for us. Bidens suck-up to Communist Chinese leaders was outrageous: Chinese leaders are good folks.
Yet, we know those same Chinese leaders are committing crimes against humanity. Locking up 1.1, maybe 3 million Uighurs, in concentration camp-like facilities where a not insubstantial number of them are dying.
THE BLOWBACK MUST HAVE BEEN INTENSIVE-OBAMA MUSTA BEEN BITCHING AS ALL HELL
Biden walked back his comments at a campaign fundraiser saying: I dont suggest China is not a problem. Im the guy whos been the toughest on Ive spent more time with [Chinese President] Xi Jinping than anybody else, just because the nature of my job, adding hes got problems, hes got gigantic problems. Doesnt mean hes not a threat, doesnt mean theyre not a threat.
============================================
At the time Joe was sucking up, Hunter was pockting bigtime, serving on the board of the billion dollar Chinese private equity company BHR Partners.
BTW, Hunter organized a meet-and-greet between his father then-VP Joe Biden and BHR CEO Jonathan Li on Dec. 4, 2013, according to New Yorker magazine.
China is supposed to report findings to WHO and the Chinese CDC. There are many laws that obligate them to do this... as they are members of many international organizations.
Beyond legal obligations, most western nations share data, have conferences, and interact as professionals in a free speech environment where these sorts of things often get fleshed out.
In short, China is the dirt bag in this case. Look, I am no De Blasio fan (he definitely said some stupid stuff), but this is ultimately Chinas mess.
What would de Blasio say if President Trump said that to Pelosi saying Trump's delay at the beginning cost lives?
-PJ
Well, people have been exodusing from NYC for decades, I guess they hit a tipping point eventually and there were only morons left living there to vote for this clown.
Mayor Bill de Blasio if his comments telling people to go about their normal lives during the early stages of the coronavirus pandemic.
Now the democrat party has two guys from NY to replace Biden.
The Gov. winks
>>> Cuomo’s daily pressers will be his downfall.
I can’t take too much of the Cuomo’s daily presser, it seemed like he’s patiently explaining things to 1st Graders (or younger).
Probably why he’s elected public official in NY in the first place.
Today, when COMFORT+ was arriving, a reporter asked cuomo about what Pres. Trump said yesterday about the 300k masks. Cuomo sidestepped and kept on talking about the apex. apex. apex. apex. He didn't deny NYC had stolen 300k masks or that he was being falsely accused. He's admitting he's hoarding instead of sharing the masks with hospitals who truly need them.
cuomo somewhere somehow is making money off of the masks.
The normal supply of 10 k mask to ONE NY hospital ballooning to 300 k (a week? a month? I forgot). But Trump was on top of things, he's going to send people to investigate.
Good for him, he has the welfare of the whole nation in mind. At times like this, he's not playing any games.
One of those “random acts of journalism” that Rush talk about.
Oh I have no doubt China is the source of the virus.
Somehow America will get spies or some such there in the future. A bunch of nasty stuff does seem to come from China.
Bwa-ha-ha! I can’t believe they actually asked that.
