Yes, that was the lady doctor yesterday. The sick sanctuary state will seed and destroy the health of the nation. Cuomo is a disaster.
dividing people is what Lefties do, to preserve their elective offices.
“I really dont think this virus can be spread through HVAC systems. Measles can but it has an Ro of 12 or so.”
I hope you are right. I’ve seen opinions that go both ways. In any case, you can’t go to the grocery store without walking down hallways or entering elevators. Just trying to walk down the street without close contact is a chore in cities.
New York wasn’t ready for a pandemic. They preferred to spend money on other things.
Cuomo will engage in fearmongering and blaming anyone other than himself. Anything other than accepting responsibility for his own lack of preparedness.
Measles can do bizarre things. It can create effective aerosols from dried scrapings. Thankfully it is largely just an annoyance to get. Anthrax does really strange stuff. They literally had a janitor change a light bulb in a room that had not been used for Anthrax research in decades. He got it.
Someone smarter than I has asked how he makes a presidential run when he wont be done with the virus mess in his state by convention time maybe even by general campaign time?
Don’t forget De Blasio resisted closing the NYC schools long after the rest of the country was shut down. All those kids- millions of them- can be carriers.
One reason to want them NOW, is so they don’t go to the next hotspot in the country...
NYC has nowhere near 1.6 million Chinese. Could travel to and from China have exacerbated this ? Of course, but that was closed off on 1/31. Now travel to and from Italy wasn’t closed off until 10 days ago. So traveling paisans could have brought it on just as well. Teachers returning from mid winter recess from overseas definitely did ans the death of a NYC principal demonstrated and the failure to close the schools and even notify the Board of Health of positive test results certainly helped as 120,000 high school kids take mass transit every day.
12% of positive tests are hospitalized and 3% of positive tests are in the ICU.
And we don't have genuine statistical evidence, yet, that the "cure" is working or having an impact.
We all hope and pray, but first, you need to use real numbers, and second you have to plan assuming what goes wrong when your optimistic assumptions don't work out.
Some FReeper on another thread was just swooning over him and how well he was handling the crisis.
Several FReepers told him to go visit DU.
In Florida the governor is extremely mad at his health department. A plane load from NY landed and when a reporter started to ask them if they would self quarantine they said NO.
NY is spreading this virus across the USA.
Cuomo has been doing well but finally he makes a huge political mistake - NY is a problem because NY is a sanctuary city.
And his defiance - that's who we are and that's what we do and will do. Why is this my problem.
In the mixed up words of slow joe biden, maybe in the big cities, the disease is the cure.
Another way for joe to express this jumbled word salad, "If it kills enough city dwellers, the disease will burn itself out".
Very true, but I'm not sure this is what joe's handler's wanted him to blurt out.
However if it's NY, LA, SF, CHI, SEA, where is the downside?
7-8 bad guys to one good guy on average, OK, since I don't live there, good luck to the few good guys.
That is not an accident.
He is portraying a "take charge" executive action kind of leader, and getting plenty of TV time while not running for any office.
He states that he has 10 times the infection rate than adjoining states of NJ, Conn, Pa.
Only three percent (%3) of those severely infected will need ventilators and hospitalization.
This demand for ventilators is admirable, however, without the personnel (nurses and pulmonary technicians) to supervise,
it is irrelevant to demand the need to increase the number of hospital beds.
He is running for Vice-President behind an Alzheimer candidate.
de Blasio was right about the total shutdown, but he was wrong delaying school closings even earlier.
Classic case of a stopped clock is right twice per day.
His press conference this morning he wants the rest of the country to give up their ventilators because HE NEEDS them more!!!
