“Anyone who was exposed or anyone who was exposed to someone who was exposed, please contact us,” Cuomo urged. “There is nothing to be ashamed of, this is a virus – it travels – but we have to know. Containment is vitally important here – this is a virus we have to be extra careful with.”
Is there anyone in the U.S. “ashamed” of getting sick? Cuomo just created a problem that doesn’t exist.
The practical problems in instituting a “travel ban” make implementing one a massive undertaking.
One Mile at a Time:
- At no point during the pandemic has the US restricted entry to the US for citizens and permanent residents, and I don’t see that changing now; in other words, the current UK travel restrictions already accomplish that
- If the US banned flights between the two countries, that wouldn’t accomplish much, since it would just cause people to connect; it’s not like many people are currently flying between the US and UK for leisure
- It’s one thing if the US had ever had an actual international testing and quarantine program, but it hasn’t and that’s not something that will change overnight; so it’s not like the US could even force Americans returning from the UK to quarantine, beyond any of the current unenforced self-quarantines we see in the US
In short, Andrew Cuomo is full of it. He’s gotten so used to trashing the Trump administration that his knee-jerk reaction to the new COVID variant isn’t surprising.
Cuomo is hearing what he wants to about this new coronavirus strain. While it’s true that researchers are pretty sure it’s more contagious, there’s also evidence it’s no deadlier and doesn’t lead to more severe cases than the unmutated coronavirus. The virus surge in Great Britain could also be due to the lifting of severe restrictions in July (Prime Minister Boris Johnson reinstituted severe lockdown rules this week). Taken together, the new variant and coming out of lockdown this past summer has helped the new variant along.
It will soon be all over the United States. What’s Cuomo going to do about it? His own response won’t save many lives and will make this rant against Trump seem petty and small.

Cuomo’s too busy using state troopers to shutter small biz.

More spreadable (allegedly) doesn’t mean more dangerous if infected.

Andrew Cuomo, who is nothing more than a politician, has killed thousands of American citizens and has severely harmed most of the nearly 20,000,000 American citizens who are unfortunate enough to live in the state of New York by his deliberate actions over the past ten months with no end in sight. (All for a self-determined "good reason", doncha know.)

Until there are consequences for their actions, the left will continue to spew their lies. Why wouldn’t they?
