He should have put a National Guard cordon around NYC to prevent those selfish pricks from leaving for NC and FL and spreading the disease. That’s on him.
where did most of the nyc infections come from? is that settled yet? nyc is closer to europe than to china geographically.
There's one factor in NYC which will ensure that "social distancing" doesn't work: the "gay" community. The AIDS epidemic showed that they can't stop themselves. They will persist in having unprotected sex with strangers, which will guarantee the spread. The HIV+ "immune compromised" among them will be guaranteed to get sick.
Yes, but he looks so presidential. /s
Biden’s handlers are no doubt wishing they had publicly announced a woman as his VP.
No way anyone would have had the political will to order a “shelter in place” three weeks ago for a city the size of New York City. Cuomo is in a bad place and much of it is not his fault. I’m not a fan of his, but he was dealt the toughest deck of cards in the country.
Cuomo’s press conferences are to keep the heat off from him for his massive failure to begin with. He gets all emotional and sorrowful to manipulate the emotions of the people there one minute then the next he’s all about blaming Trump and the administration for not giving him what he wants.
Dibasio was begging Cuomo to get with the program and he refused over and over again. I am truly sorrow for those stuck in New York with this virus ....but they voted for these idiots to run the place and they’ve done nothing but run it into the ground.
Did you notice while he was ranting he had stacks of ventilators, masks and such stacked up behind him while screaming “where are they?”
He said he’s got 53,000 beds....needs 116,000 plus..
Interesting there are 50,000 cases throughout ‘all’ the US....so he could house all the Corona cases in the US right there right now.
This guy isn’t about the health of New Yorkers...he’s about having to tae the heat because he made a mess there early on and he can’t control it.
You’ll just end up with a pile of dead bodies......they won’t be able to save themselves.
....”Cuomo is in a bad place and much of it is not his fault”.....
Most of it is his fault...I’ve watched his city and Cuomo from the get go, he wasn’t about to spend any money to prepare for this and didn’t when he could have made a difference, even when it was esculating rapidly he still dug his feet into the ground.
Even New Yorkers saw the hand writing on the wall he wasn’t doing anything but talking the talk so they began getting out of town. The idiot tells them to go out to the parks and enjoy the sunshine...go hike in the hills etc.etc. wlak the dog......while every other Gov. was far ahead closing things down.
I give him no slack at all....he lied when he said he didn’t now it could get this bad...when in fact he simply willingly put at risk the people. so now he’s blubbering every day of this plight he’s brought onto his city when he had plenty of opportunity to protect the people far better then he has.

Doesn’t the bed and ventilator problem in NYC remind you a little of Hurricane Katrina and all the money allocated to New Orleans every year to shore up their locks, riverbanks and other sources of flooding? Of course the bureaucrats in NOLA used the money for other goodies and ignored the possibility of a big catastrophe happening in their city nine feet below sea level. Who did they blame for the flooding? George Bush and the Federal Government. Sound familiar?
some doctor was able to figure out how to treat 15 people on one single ventilator at once- If this is true- that could mean that we don’t need nearly as many as we do if only a single person gets treated per unit- why aren’t folks looking into adapting the machines to do this?
BUMP
50% of US confirmed cases are in his state....50% of US deaths are happening in his state...Cuomo knew what was coming just as he knew the density of his population. He also knew he wouldn’t spend any money shoring his state up....that if he waited long enough the Gov. would have to step in for him....
And when they did, asking him to pay the going rate of 25% with the Gov/US picking up 75%, he refused and said he wouldn’t pay.
The facts are he and Dibasio bankrupted the state and city funding all their freebee/giveaway programs and raising tax’s on the wealthy much he drove them out of the state.... now here he sits in the mess he created while a virus invades the spaces he failed to protect.
BTW High Denesity states are mandated to carry a certain amount of reserves to cover the unexpected....he failed in that as well.
"He's got gravitas."
