So King Cuomo signed an executive order where he will be allowed to take medical supplies, including ventilators from areas and institutions that "don't need them", yet in the same breath mandates a shutdown. Want to know how to run a state into the ground, just follow his career since 2010. What this virus is truly showing is the incredible incompetence by many governors throughout the nation, but the main story should be how badly Cuomo has handled NYC.

They were always going to be (frank)ed even if everyone, including Trump, did everything perfectly. Just way too many people living way too close together to make any sort of meaningful difference. I mean the city has more population alone than Wyoming, Vermont, Alaska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Delaware, Rhode Island, Montana, Maine, and about half of New Hampshire combined; all in an area 20% the size of Rhode Island. They're like a giant cruise ship.

I don't like Coumo, but nothing was gonna stop the virus from getting into NY Once it got out of China. It is one of the most traveled to Cities in the World.

Again he never called it a hoax, that has been debunked over and over. You continuing to say that is the hoax. Saying he screwed up for not enacting the law months ago is rediculous
- Fattony1187

Stop with this strawman. No one is saying Trump said the coronavirus itself was a hoax. They're saying that Trump said in February that all the reporting that coronavirus is a major public health disaster waiting to happen and that the administration was not taking it seriously enough was a hoax. It wasn't.

And this isn't an inference drawn from his words. Trump literally called it their "new hoax." I posted that quote here. Pachla transcribed the entire portion of the rally where he called it a hoax.

The only way to have stopped it would've been to shut everything down, starting with the airport, before anyone would've accepted things being shut down. No mayor of NYC, or governor of NY, and no President would've done so, regardless of party. The lack of preparedness in our hospitals is on them all, from city governments, up to federal bureaucracy.

There is like 5 posts a day from people that think he legitimately called the virus a hoax.

Calling the Dems criticism to his response was a hoax. They were calling him racist for banning travel to China. Really???

Agree. Perfect and accurate take. It’s laughable people blame one man for a world pandemic

Only thing the Democrats were doing were criticizing Trumps response while they themselves were telling people to go out in public and ignoring the issue. Trump seemed to be ahead of them here

China is who to blame. Pretty much all Drs are saying 95% of world cases would never of happened it they were honest and accepted help.

The rest of the World (US included) are to blame to believe them.

Ironically Trumps anti-China, strong borders, America first which he gets crucified for would of saved lives in the US.

I’m just eagerly awaiting what his pandemic expert son in law thinks we should do next.

I’m just happy the absolute most qualified individuals are in charge

Constitutionally yes. They are each responsible for taking care of their own states. After all, we are a the United STATES of America.

But quite frankly I'm tired of having to explain civics 101 and the Bill of Rights to people

Good luck everyone! Try not to die

I dont value any of the Larrys: Larry, or Large Larry, or Latvian Larry, or Larry Frolik, or Larry Simmonds (I refuse to call him black Larry).

I do like Larry Lazar, and I like him more after his interview on the Instigators today

Larry Lazar 2020 for head Larry.

Larry-in-Chief if you will

Lazar is an AHL player.

Larsson is an elite 4th line defensive player.

Maybe there's a bright spot in all of this,
"The pandemic also has threatened to upend deep-seated customs in the religious world, including blind obedience to religious leaders..."
who say things such as the
'"Influential Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky of Bnei Brak said closing religious seminaries is more harmful than the virus. “The Torah protects and saves,” he said."'
The ultraOrthodox community is now a hotbed of infections in Israel, and the other Israelis are not happy with them.

Does anyone really think a Democrat in the White House would've done any better than Trump? They have all failed.....
Waste of breath going round and round about it.

When people realize it’s not a Left vs Right battle.

And stop realizing it’s not just about fatality rates.

We will finally start to get somewhere.

I agree with Bill Gates, we should have a nationwide quarantine, end of story

I’m not anti-right,
I’m anti president dipsh!t,
bc he’s a dipsh!t...
just like the dummies who blindly follow his lack of leadership & constant disgusting bigotry
