I don’t agree. It would have been hard to do but he should have fired Zucker, or whoever it was who was blocking the proper care of the elderly in the nursing home disaster. That would have made him a popular hero and was the right thing to do.
And one comment about “climate change,” which has nothing to do with anything, was totally inappropriate.
He did fine. We are pleased with our low numbers and are trying to get to Phase 3.
you are pleased with having over 1/3 of the deaths in the country when combined with NJ and now want to give Cuomo credit for the natural history of the disease burning itself out in a given area? give me a minute - I have some real estate i want to sell you.
We’re pleased that the 1/3 was not even greater. You have no idea what it was like here. Still is crazy but we’re moving on.
The point is the craziness was the fault of your leaders. I’m glad you are pleased he didn’t kill more unnecessarily
NY’s curve doesn’t look very flattened to me. It looks like a dramatic rise and then a dramatic fall, which to me is what you’d get with nearly uncontrolled spread leading to a rapid onset of something like herd immunity and then a rapid falloff. I don’t consider them to have ever really locked NYC down because they left the subways open.
But the result seems to be that NYC lucked out and hit the perfect sweet spot where they *almost* saturated the health care system but not quite. They went up to the line but not over it, giving them the max number of cases in the shortest time without excess deaths (leaving nursing homes aside). They took the brunt and got it over with quickly. We in the South are now experiencing the slow motion version. As long as we don’t saturate the hospitals, the result will be the same; it’ll just take longer.
Anyone that hasn’t spent sometime in the City has no idea
of how hard it is to isolate one person from the other.
Cuomo was both good and bad, but the good outweighed the bad. The nursing home catastrophe was the only bad part.
We didn’t “luck out.” We had stringent recommendations and still do. Almost everyone here is super-careful. We could still get superspreaders from the states that went wild and have to continue to be vigilant.
My guess would be those projects that large metropolitan areas push for until they’re blue in the face...
Mass transit.
All that jammed-in stuff. Buses, trains, elevators, etc, etc, etc.
Yeah,except for those 7000 nursing home residents Granny Killer Cuomo condemned to die a miserable death, Little Mario was a real mensch.
