The graphs show it.
There are many people here, and we tend to follow our leaders whenever they make sense, otherwise there is no point in having leaders.
Cuomo was a good leader in this crisis, except for the nursing homes where he could have shown a new strength, and we watched him daily and tried to do what he said. The curve would have been much steeper, and the city would have been in great mourning instead of being proud of our success, if we had not followed those early recommendations.
We can’t figure out why the southern tier of the country is not following recommendations. Some say the hot weather, some say they think they are immune because they are not in NY or NJ, some say they think they are immune because they live in a beautiful place and not piled on top of one another . . . whatever!
We have lived with disaster and we know it could have been much, much worse, worse than any of the southern states right now.
Cuomo caused the issues in New York. He was more interested in face time on camera than protecting the only truly vulnerable residents of his state. He should spend the rest of his miserable life in jail but of course will skate
