Andrew Cuomo Takes Charge
The governor of New York found himself at the center of a deadly crisis. His response has helped guide the nation
"These are all uncharted waters. So you use your experience, you use your knowledge, you use your instincts, and you feel your way through the situation. Nobody can give you a chart. They can’t tell you the depths of the water. They can’t tell you where the rocks are. But if you’ve navigated for years, you develop an instinct that helps. But also keep it simple. Tell the truth. Give people facts. Explain what you’re doing, why you’re doing it. I don’t go out to impart confidence. You can appear confident, but you’re not going to fool New Yorkers, right? They’re going to hear what you’re saying and watch what you’re doing." https://www.rollingstone.com/politic...avirus-982087/
I found Cuomo's coronavirus response to be one of the best in the country. Better than the federal response for sure (though that's not saying much).
He hasn't done much else that is good for the state or the country, but credit where credit is due- he was great with coronavirus. Except for the nursing home problem, but nobody is perfect.
He's scum. He's a great actor.
He's even better at denial and shifting blame.
His corona response was terrible. He murdered all the old people and then closed down bars while allowing protests and riots.
And he used the oldest cover up trick in the books, blame the feds. He is total scum.

For the record, he was against the protests from a coronavirus perspective. He was one of the only blue-state leaders that I saw during the whole mess to say "if you protest, you need to self-quarantine". Short of using the military to physically stop them, treating them as infected is about the best he could do.
DeBlasio was the dummy on the protest stuff.
I vote republican and will again because I care more about other topics than this one, but I do blame the feds for our awful coronavirus response. It shouldn't be up to 50 state governors to figure out how to stop the spread of a global pandemic; we needed a united response but instead got the total opposite. The feds were actually fanning the flames by spreading false information ("don't wear masks!!" "the virus doesn't spread on surfaces!!" "the virus DOES spread on surfaces!!!" "don't stop flying on planes!!" are just some of the juicy tidbits)
Are you suggesting that he should not have closed down bars?
Cuomo is my version of Trump.
He could cure cancer and I'd still call him a scumbag. He has done, and continues to do, far more harm than good. He needs to go away. From NY, from politics in general. He is a dangerous man.

LOL kinda hard to sweep 6200 nursing home lives under the carpet eh? Wow he was like a double 9/11 with one stroke of his pen. You sure his response was one of the best in the country??? What a D-bag.
