Cuomo addressed this at his daily powerpoint show saying it's not so bad, nobody will die from being shut down. WWII lasted longer he said.

They should isolate NYC from rest of the region and plan accordingly.

Yep, what a pompous a*s. I'm surprised he didn't say "learn to code".

Am thinking the Rats are staging this for effect, as they’re arguing for the (allegedly) most hardest hit state to open NOW.

Cuomo is not a leader, he's a talker.

It's the upstaters with few deaths who don't want to suffer because NYC won't open up for months.

Except that almost ail the coronavirus deaths in New York, happened after the lockdown. The shut down has been the biggest killer of all, mostly from already infected people, infecting others that they are cooped up in the same houehold with 24/7, and breathing in the same infected air.

“ You want to work? Get a job in an essential business” Andrew Cuomo

My son-in-law's construction business has been shut down due to being deemed "nonessential".

My daughter wonders aloud why it is too dangerous for him to work alone in a vacant house but perfectly fine for him to take a job at Walmart and get stampeded all day.

What? They didn't throw in the usual condescending "without evidence".

Some upstate reporters are still not full blown communists.

Yeah, but the Asspress will tell us nobody agrees with them and Biden will win a landslide.
