Andrew Cuomo doubles down in his ‘war on fun’

No dancing at bars. No darts. No karaoke. So orders Gov. Andrew Cuomo, adding to his “order food, not just alcohol” mandate in what sure looks like an all-out war on fun.

Heck, the Great Drinktator has also banned comedy shows. You can’t have people guffawing into their face masks despite practicing social distancing.

The gov has even used his emergency powers to ban dancing at wedding receptions. This when New York hasn’t just flattened the curve, but crushed it — with new coronavirus cases and deaths at ever-lower levels.

As Karol Markowicz writes in Monday’s Post, these lockdown rules are “nutty.”

Cuomo is a nut, but downstaters will keep him in office.

Cancel Culture killed comedy almost a year ago...

In reality the signal to kill the gladiator was to point the thumb at the throat and not down. But who cares? Also most of the time the crowd voted to spare the participant if they put up a good fight.

Or they used thumbs down to mean “swords down” to spare the gladiator. It’s been used wrongly for a hundred years or more.

Hey, Andy...DOUBLE DOWN on THIS...and take FAUCI with you!
Reckless disregard for human life!
If we applied the same standards used at the Nazi trials in Nuremberg, Fauci & Cuomo would be stretching ropes in some prison courtyard. Fauci for his constant negative comments re. LIFESAVING HCQ. It was as though he had some financial interest in other medications that cost a great deal more than a few bucks a dose. Oh wait...seems he does.
And Cuomo for sending all those elderly carriers of COVID into the retirement homes killing thousands.
There should at least be an honest investigation into both of them!
THE NUREMBERG CODE!

I went to Costco yesterday with my wife. For some reason they didn’t say anything when I went in without a mask on, and nobody said anything the entire time. But I was the only person I saw that was not wearing a mask.

I was also the only smiling human face anyone in the entire place saw. I think that is a problem and coarsens our culture.

Nobody is following his rules Upstate. He is a joke to us and we have no respect for him. No one cares what he says or pays attention to his empty words. The Trump signs Upstate are everywhere! Cuomo knows this which is why he hates anything to do with Upstate, which is fine cause the feelings are mutual.

"This when New York hasn’t just flattened the curve, but crushed it — with new coronavirus cases and deaths at ever-lower levels."

Cuomo knows that if New York is allowed to emerge from its deep freeze, there will be a spike in cases and deaths, just as there was in the Sun Belt.

Extreme social distancing just delays the inevitable until either herd immunity is established or a cure is found. The Sun Belt states are already emerging from the inevitable second wave, while the blue states are putting it off and allowing everyone's lives to remain in limbo.

Cuomo/Diblasio are going to have a hard time milking this to the election but they’ll do it anyhow.

” or a cure is found.”

There has never been a cure or a vaccine for a corona virus.

Probably never will be in our lifetimes.

It’s the common cold on steroids.
