However, in conclusion, CA Rules, NY Drools:

"As for his own state’s actions, Cuomo today appears to see little reason for regret or apology.

At one media briefing in April, as New Yorkers died by the hundreds daily, Cuomo made a bold claim.

'Today, we can say that we have lost many of our brothers and sisters, but we haven’t lost anyone because they didn’t get the right and best health care that they could,' he said. “The way I sleep at night is I believe that we didn’t lose anyone that we could have saved, and that is the only solace when I look at these numbers and I look at this pain that has been created that has to be true.'

Cuomo just last week seemed to double down on the sentiment.

'I don’t think New Yorkers feel or Americans feel that government failed them here,' he said in an interview. 'I think they feel good about what government has done. ... Their health care system did respond. This was not Italy, with all due respect. ... There were not people in hallways who didn’t get health care treatment.'

'Government didn’t cause or allow anyone to die.'"

"California’s governor and San Francisco’s mayor worked together to act early in confronting the COVID threat."

Didn't the SF mayor encourage people to party up Chinese New Year in China town because Orange Man racist?

Sending the infected elderly back into assisted living homes was a particularly brilliant move. Good thing it was a liberal democrat that did it. Anybody else woulda been lynched in the media.

Cuomo didn’t allow them to die, his crap for care hospital system run by his magnificence and his direct intervention in assisted living KILLED them. He plays proud, but he is a murdering psychopath.

Lots of them in goobermint these days. They need to be hammered into the ground like a tent peg.

“best health care?” Hell, he even admitted during his daily briefings that putting people on ventilators was like a death sentence for most. But did he call for a better treatment? No, he called for MORE ventilators.

He didn’t just sent the infected patients back.

Up until a couple of weeks ago, he allowed infected staff back, too.

Plus NYC inherently a cauldron for beewing up a big hotspot. Plus a decent chance that the NY strain via Italy was more virulent than the West Coast strain more directly from China. (That of course is cause for further speculation in its own right.)

Both guvs forced covid patients into nursing homes whoch presumably goosed numners in both states. Cuomo of course made HCQ hard to prescribe, don’t know about Newsom on that count.

There is two major problems in New York State and New York City. The two problems are named New York, Governor, Andrew Cuomo & NTC, Mayor, Bill De blasio!!! Both of these low life Democrat Party, human scum and vermin, Hate America, characters should be sitting in prison, for in reality, sorry to say they both are murderers of NY innocents by the dozens.

And to boot they both are destroying the city of NY, The great White Way, The Broadway Theater Strip, the fine mid town Manhattan restaurants, China town eateries, Little Italy chow places, etc. They have killed the brilliant NYC Subway System...filling it with the “Homeless, sick & criminal souls, so that no decent citizen or tourist, will ride the subway. So...say goodbye to Queens, the Bronx, Staten Island & Brooklyn...too!!!

The good news today is that a major poll is showing Biden/Obama is losing in NY State to POTUS, Donald J. Trump!!! The famous NY Liberals are abandoning NY by the thousands heading to Florida & Texas or they are staying and voting for Trumpie!!! Goodness....California might even do the same act!!! Hope so!!! Go Trumpie!!!

London Breed, the mayor of San Francisco

London Breed? Is that the gay porn star name equivalent of "Buck Naked?"

This was not Italy, with all due respect. ..

He is right. Going by the numbers, New York State is worse than Italy. Much much worse.

Deaths per million of the population
New York State 1464
Italy 529

A dream come true.

If Trump takes CA and NY no amount of vote fraud will be able to stop him.

Keep praying.....

i think what it proves is that the same disease can have very different health outcomes, depending on what individual doctors and patients do, and what public health policy authorities do (or don’t do) in various jurisdictions.

in short to quote a famous author, “Fear is the mind killer.”

more to the point, fear is a killer. period.

worst case, one size fits all, gov’t run edicts and “solutions”, can often end up killing more people than they help. NY and NYC are a prime examples of that, imho.
