But in terms of resources, yes they have much less.

How anyone living in NY can go about their daily routine as if everything is normal makes no sense to me. They literally have more cases than the other 49 states combined.

“I like this stuff. I really get it. People are surprised that I understand it,” the president went on. He started talking about his tour of the CDC he’d taken before his talk to the press. “Every one of these doctors said, ‘How do you know so much about this?’ Maybe I have a natural ability. Maybe I should have done that instead of running for president.”


I have never loved the dude as the President but I still believe he got the dookie end of the stick in many cases and he'd done a much better job than for which he was given credit but for this crisis, he's been foolish and his attitude and how he's represented the virus have been political. He literally blamed the democrats fo the virus. If you look at stats for how people view this, his core group, thinks it's no big deal and as I said, I hope it never hits them because if it does, they will be in trouble.
So he's lying to keep his base calm and then giving half truths to the rest. He should STFU and tell us what the CDC, WHO and Pandemic experts say, not his spin.

Let's start with the premise that all billionaires have enormous egos and believe that they are experts at everything or at least smarter than the average bear.

Generally speaking, I think he's doing a good job with the crisis overall and that's not political, because I feel Cuomo is also doing a good job. After all, it is a crisis and both men are in leadership positions. I do disagree with the thought that Trump is providing no help to Cuomo, when the first hospital ship is going to New York, instead of the West Coast, where the virus first entered the country. That recognizes that the East Coast is ground zero now.

I'm actually surprised NJ hasn't gotten it worse yet, being next door neighbors with NY.

Trump said now he hopes the country is getting back to normal around Easter.

The first ship will be in California before the ship for NY gets to NY. the comfort was at Sea for 6 months and is back in Port being stocked and having its needed maintenance done. Where are you reading that the first ship will be in NY before California?

Really Johnny? Is that why Cuomo is publicly pleading for the Fed to release the 20K ventilators it has stockpiled? That ship is weeks if not month away, may be too little too late for NYers.

I'm not talking about his issue with the feds. Yes he has a big problem, I just think he was too slow to react to putting certain things in place. I think he could have reacted sooner.

Nancy Pelosi said that a number of the Democrats' requests have been added to the bill — including provisions that would require both a congressional panel and an inspector general to provide oversight over the $500 billion loan program to corporations. https://nbcnews.com/politics/congres...close-n1167401

Seems like a good step towards a bill and I'm on board with oversite.

Anyone else find it weird that the biggest financial hubs in the us are the ones hit hardest ?

Maybe so. But he did act and decisively. I guess the Fed could have reacted much sooner and alerted governors month ago when they were briefed on the China situation. Water over the dam. We must now deal it. No time for division.

Right now I am not convinced more layers of red tape or govt oversight is the answer .

Posada

1. The post you quoted is my issue with Cuomo.

2. I've already been vocal with my issues against the dems and republicans.
