“CUOMO has walked a fine line between thanking Donald Trump for the federal government’s support and offering subtle criticisms of his approach. At his daily press briefing in Albany on Tuesday, Cuomo described a “bizarre situation” in which every state buys its own ventilators, pitting them against each other in bidding war. “You have 50 states competing to buy the same item,” he said. ‘We all wind up bidding up each other and competing against each other, where you now literally will have a company call you up and say, ‘Well, California just outbid you.’ It’s like being on eBay with 50 other states, bidding on a ventilator.’ The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) was making matters worse, Cuomo added. ‘The federal government, FEMA, should have been the purchasing agent: buy everything and then allocate by need to the states. Why would you create a situation where the 50 states are competing with each other and then the federal government and Fema comes in and competes with the rest of it?’”

Dr, Cuomo flopped!

He has the biggest City in the world that is heavily traveled and no precautionary measures were ever taken in Prior years to ANY POSSIBLE CRISIS that can happen......are we surprised NY City was hit hard by this?

If any City should have been FULLY PREPARED for any crisis it was and is New York.

What about 2015 Dr?

I don’t care about NOW!

Now is too late....

And he is wasting his time talking about politics with bidding crap.

Why isn’t Joe Biden lending a helping hand?

He is hiding out!

Dr, are you a robot?

Do you need BIG GOVERNMENT to lead you?

Do you have common sense?

Did you know what was going on in China?

I don’t need somebody being a puppet master.

I get it he is the President.. but I don’t need him to tell me that the virus is bad or not...

It was not hard to figure out what was happening in Wuhan.

It was a matter of time......

The ONLY WAY TO STOP IT FROM COMING TO THE US was to stop everything that comes into the Country. That did t happen. And when he did do something he is called xenophobic by idiots like Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders.

It was too late Dr......people from China came to the US...

You know it only takes ONE PERSON to spread this very contagious virus.

How about all parties put down their politics and WORK TOGETHER during this crisis?

All we see I between is finger pointing with Nov 2020 the concern or a reason to even talk about it...

Using the crisis that will overwhelm everybody is not the time to talk about Nov 2020

Nicky, no-one including Trump, could have prepared for the magnitude of the event. I have said it repeatedly.
What matters most is how we are dealing with it now. What leadership is being provided? Do people have faith in that leadership?

Imo, Cuomo has provided that leadership. He told the truth. His calm but firm demeanor reassuring. He doesn't have all the answers, and unlike some, is willing to admit it.

Stay home and watch TV!

Not hard to figure out on how to help mitigate this....

As for as the now?

It is too late, it has to run it’s course and hopefully the curve gets flattened.

What does a few ships do?

Who asked for ships?

Why would you even put sick people ON A SHIP?

It doesn’t take common sense to know what has happened to Cruise ships....

What a stupid idea!

You didn’t hear The President say about the hard days ahead?

What else does he need to say Dr?

I don’t get it...

You act like he is some high almighty savior....

He doesn’t know, you don’t know, Cuomo doesn’t know, NOBODY KNOWS yet on how to stop this....

Mitigation is all we need to hear..

Not hard to figure out....

Dr Fauci is correct..

These models mean nothing....THIS IS ALL NEW!

Dr’s don’t even know how to stop this...

He already said to stay inside and away from people..


What else do you want to hear Dr?

Do we have 330 million hospital beds with ventilators?

Follow guidelines people...

You don’t need Trump telling you that....

More Fauci and the experts, who actually have something worthwhile and beneficial to say.

I never said that Clown.

My main comments are about the media and their stupid questions.

Mush, then make the point. If you don't think that, you are simply disagreeing to disagree. You can agree with us and still have your own viewpoint and rational of the situation. You can still say, I think this but I also think this.
You have been defending and defending.

The hospitals are at full capacity. What do you suggest they do with all the sick people? I guess we just let them die, huh? I assume you know no one with the corona virus is being put on the ships. They're going to the hospitals. Those currently in the hospital that don't have the virus are being transferred to the ships.

One of us-"George, I'm eating blueberries right now."

George- "No you aren't. They just tell you those are blueberries"

One of us- "George. Look. What color are these? Taste one, what do they taste like?"

George- "Those aren't blue. They are more purple and they taste good but they aren't blueberries. I've never even had blueberries"

One of us- "Ok..."

Cuomo was applauded by Fauci on Friday over new orders for 100% of the New York state's non-essential workforce to stay home.

More of this would be welcome.

“You can’t just come in and say let’s close up the United States of America,” the president said.

President Trump said on Tuesday that he wanted to reopen the country for business by Easter, on April 12, despite widespread warnings from public health experts that the worst effects of the coronavirus were still weeks away and that lifting the restrictions now in place would result in unnecessary deaths.

Less of this.

This is old news. He's already said (probably reluctantly) it'll extend thru the end of April.
