    Cuomo doesn't have a CDC or a Federal Health Department or Intelligence Agencies. Unfortunately, all he has is Trump.

    Cuomo said it was not a problem. He had complete authority over New York.

    He has access to them. They were giving periodic briefings. They were behind the curve also.

    I think I told you earlier. His only mistake was believing Trump.

    Had they been properly isolated they would have been as safe in the nursing home as in the hospital.

    Think about what you just said. Liberals think Trump only lies. Now you are saying Cuomo screwed up because he believed Trump. Really? Is that what you are saying? That is just about the weakest argument I have heard in a long time.

    How would you do that in a nursing home? You have a large number of older people crowded together, usually two to a room and you are magically going to keep them separated. They are simply not equipped for isolation.

    Cuomo wouldn't know that. You know who would? The CDC... the Health Department.

    This is why we pay our taxes so the federal government has those. To do things like advice governors in things like this. But instead we have an idiot in the Presidency telling them that they had the virus "under control".

    Identify Space in the Facility that Could be Dedicated to Monitor and Care for Residents with COVID-19.

    • Identify space in the facility that could be dedicated to care for residents with confirmed COVID-19. This could be a dedicated floor, unit, or wing in the facility or a group of rooms at the end of the unit that will be used to cohort residents with COVID-19.
      • Identify HCP who will be assigned to work only on the COVID-19 care unit when it is in use.

    It simply would not work in the nursing homes I have seen. They are generally already nearly full and you would end up putting them in a few rooms mixed in with all the others. The ones I have seen do not have an empty wing to use.

    So the only way for states to get info was from Trump's ridiculous 'positive spin' press conferences? Surely you can't be serious! Also, at the time that Trump was talking nonsense, it was evident from the data that he was talking nonsense! And you think that Cuomo was instead choosing to believe Trump over the data? :roflol:

    I am serious. And don't call me Sherley. There were no "press conferences" when NY got hit. in fact, press conferences started because New York got hit. That's when Trump stopped lying (not really... only reduced by one the number of lies) and started taking the virus..... sorta seriously. And only because his stock started to crash.

    What data are you talking about?

    He failed my IQ test by calling for the RNC convention to be moved to Florida when the numbers are one of the worst.... not only in the country.... in the world!

    I'd say that doesn't break the 90 mark. And if you add that he refuses to decisively and unequivocally call for the population to wear masks, that gets him under 70. Actually carrying out the RNC convention would put him under 50, which downgrades him to "imbecile".

    Scientific enough for ya? I don't care if it doesn't because it works for me!

    You're aware, I take it, that this is a GLOBAL pandemic? That every nation on earth (some with Leftist leaders, some with Rightist leaders) is going through the same things, and enduring the same economic impacts etc?

    I don't want to be ruder than usual, but ****ing hell guy .. look outside your bubble. It's not about America, and it's sure as hell not about politics. The virus doesn't care where you are, or who you vote for.

    Yes, it does seem risky. However, I wonder - do you think that it's safe ANYWHERE in the country for a convention?

    Are you saying that the CDC WANT to advise the population to wear masks, but are prevented from doing so by Trump?

    Wearing masks have nothing to do with what I said.

    I assume that you were totally against the BLM protests. I'm not going to find any posts of yours in which you said that it was acceptable? I'm pretty good at finding posts.

    Did you not say, "he refuses to decisively and unequivocally call for the population to wear masks?"

    As a New Yorker and not a big Cuomo fan but we followed the guidelines and rules and flattened the curve to the point of now having the least amount of new cases in the USA.

    I love it when I get that response! :roflol:

    Contradictory statements, no?

    Zero evidence that this was his motivation. If what you're saying is true, that he didn't take it seriously, then why the hell did he ban travel from China all the way back in January? Perhaps you're making the critical mistake of ALL liberals - listening to what he SAYS, not what he DOES.

    The data which made it clear that there wasn't only the ridiculously few number of cases that he was spruiking. The science which made it clear that it doesn't in fact just "miraculously disappear."

    Why do I get the feeling that either DeSantis is your governor, and/or you at least have a Trump lapdog as your Mayor?

    Do you think that the CDC/FAA WANTED to have restrictions, but were prevented from doing so by Trump?
