Will be precise as possible: The majority of the cases are in NYS and adjacent counties.
This is not the sign of a leader. People have been touting Cuomo as a replacement to Biden. I don’t think that will happen.
An example:
“The rate of the coronavirus’ spread through New York state is accelerating like a “bullet train”
and:
“We’re not slowing it, and it is accelerating on its own”
Do the majority of New Yorkers even know or care what is a bullet train?
And of course it is accelerating on its own vs... not on its own?
Words mean things.
His hyperbole is a sign of poor leadership in this situation. He has by his own actions shutdown New York. He has asked people to comply with his requests, which the majority are? doing. He says for people not to panic.
And then he rolls out the hyperbole. Which will cause more people to panic.
State the facts. Stick to the facts. Provide reassurance to people. Drop the hyperbole.
Try again.
NYC, not NYS
