NUMBERS SHOW CUOMO WRONG ON THE VIRUS

Yes, but he looks so presidential. /s

Here’s the thing. They have to balance saving lives (or trying to) and bankrupti g the country/world. Bankrupting everyone will also kill them in the long run. It is a balancing act and nobody knows the “perfect” answer. Heaven help us all.

I watched him last night ranting on about NY needing 26,000 ventilators for their 25,000 cases of the virus. Since only about 10 percent or less of cases require hospitalization why does he think he needs 26,000 ventilators RIGHT NOW.

He reminded me of your typical leftist loon issuing his demands for this and demands for that.

"And New York City and the nation will probably suffer unimaginably as a result."

Not quite as much as the last flu season, but at least we could get toilet paper then.

Gee. Could the largest Chinese population in the country of 1.6 million in NYC have something to do with the increase since half of them went to China in January for the New Year and returned to NYC in February?? Sarc

I think Trump should announce that he’s sending Mike Pence to NY for first hand analysis on how Trump can help Cuomo.

[1Old Pro]

Cuomo in 2015 was advised he was 16,000 respirators short of what he would need in the event of an epidemic. He was told he had one-ninth of the number he needed. But instead of buying more, as he was advised, he chose to commission a panel to create a rubric for – in the event of having more patients than respirators – deciding who would be denied a respirator in the case of an emergency. That means he decided that, in the event of an epidemic, eight-ninths of critically ill New Yorkers would have to die.

Was he looking in the mirror yesterday when he SHOUTED "You pick which 16,000 people won't get a ventilator"?

Cuomo is fearmongering ... the actual hospitalization rate in NY is now 0.2% and that’s before the cure is now being made widely available.

[1Old Pro]

He reminded me of your typical leftist loon issuing his demands for this and demands for that.

Clearly shifting the blame for HIS failure and trying to blame others. Libs are excellent at that. Someone needs to tell him that HE runs NY with his legislator, not the Fed. These lefties have cried "Trump is not a monarch" for 3 years, now they demand that he become a monarch and run their states.

[FXRP]

It’s fun, but really not fair to compare NYC to average expectations. People are jammed together and have only public transportation. Single family dwellings and cars make social distancing easy for non-city dwellers. If you live in an apartment building with central air conditioning and don’t own a car, you are pretty much screwed. Big cities are going to get it a whole lot worse than the rest of us. As with politics, it’s an urban vs rural thing. I won’t cut Cuomo or DeBlasio any slack for being smug Democrats, but I also won’t blame them for not being able to control a virus in a free society crowded into a city.

[wastoute]

Anyone who “left” NYC in the last couple of days should be prosecuted when this is all over.

[GnuThere]

Ask Northern Italy...🤔

[DOC44]

Today he wants 40,000 respirators. FOX and CNN shoves a camera and mic at him every time he passes gas especially with his criticism of Trump. He has failed his state and is trying to tell the rest of us what to do. He is dumping NYC people to other parts of NY as well as to other parts of America.

He has become the democrats great white hope for president and they are putting him in the forefront instead of Biden.

Good point.

Old predictions might not take into account new actions, such as the administration of hydroxychloroquine + azithromax .

If enough Senior Citizens die as a result of his inaction, he can then take credit for Saving the Bankrupt Social Security system by reducing the number of beneficiaries.

I really don’t think this virus can be spread through HVAC systems. Measles can but it has an Ro of 12 or so.

[ronnie raygun]

He is an arrogant spitefull scumbag and the mayor is an FN idiot dolt. The scumbag media in NY ABC,NBC CBS are creating hysteria to compliment these dirt bags who I’m sure are working in unison with the other rat gov and mayors in these sanctuary states and cities to help kill the economy. Time is the tipping point, the longer they can keep this going by pumping the numbers and keeping the hysteria high with the help of the media they can hopeful tank the economy

[Starboard]

a presidential advisor has recommended all people leaving the city self-quarantine for 14 days

**************

Fat chance of that. Most New Yorkers are just not going to do that.

[lee martell]

I thought that was a very disrespectful and petty thing to publicly say to the president. No one person has all the answers right now. This tone from your Governor only divides people in a partisan way. Not helpful to anyone right now.
