Well NY had no reported deaths yesterday. However I don't see the current leaders of the new Hot Spot states taking this as seriously as the NY, NJ, CT leadership. There is a complete poopy head leading FL.

If the Gov's of the heated states shut down now for 2 months then they will get this down. Otherwise they are leading their citizens off a cliff.

Well, good morning Mr. Potty Mouth!

(and just to be clear, Billy you made me laugh this morning because I can hear a lot of my student's voices in my head using those exact words!)

Glad it made you laugh! My fingers are restricted from typing my true feelings due to my respect for the etiquette and rules here and elsewhere on the net.

I understand.

One thing for sure - few governors have distinguished themselves during COVID-19 but DeSantis, Cuomo, Newsom, and Ducey are likely seeing the end of their political careers.

If ever there were a time for outsiders to break into politics, this is it.

I mentioned Medcrams on Youtube before. I have been reviewing some of them this morning. (The temperature hit 100 F in my back yard at 10:17 AM this morning, so inside work!)

Here are ones to watch:

#59
#74
#83
#92
#93
#94 (most current today)

(Note: These are by a professional ER Doctor, for other medical professionals. If you have a good background in Micro/molecular Biology and Biochemistry you can follow it pretty easily. A general layperson may get confused a bit.)

I thought the consensus was that Cuomo has done a good job handling New York. Is that not the popular belief?

probably, but if one is of the opposite political party then Gov. Cuomo (and his brother) are not so popular

Most Governors failed. Not sure it’s worth debating it just yet...after all, this mess isn’t over yet.

Is it just to difficult to not pull this into the political arena? :ponder:

Obviously. But why did you quote Brett when someone else started this theme? Hmm...your bias is showing.

CDC's 'best estimate' is 40 percent COVID-19 infections are asymptomatic.
A person with COVID-19 is still 'likely to infect' 2.5 other people.

Given how New York was one of the initial COVID-19 flashpoints, it was also slow to deal with school closures, and how the state initially handled communal type settings (including putting COVID-19 patients back into those communal settings) and still has more deaths than any state - NO New York did not do good job.

And, by extension, Cuomo did not do a good job.

That's quite humorous. Seems as though your bias is showing. Give it a rest and move on. :rolleyes:

Dude, you need to learn how to be even a little objective. Your posts are now simply laughable. Criticize Brett for responding to a theme started by someone else? C’mon. At least pretend that you care about objectivity.

Bazinga !

Now you encourage more posts about politics after you criticized it? You’re a hypocrite.

Just so we are very clear Ken. Personally, Cuomo has, and continues to not care about anyone, but himself, IMHO. That has nothing to do with politics and let me add, I don't care what affiliation he is. :shrug:
So, if I said the same about another person in office, that wouldn't be considered political? Come on.

There is only one opinion that matters, Ken's.

If things do not go his way, the name calling starts. Why others approve and "like" such comments is rather puzzling to me but I guess this is how mob censureship works.

Yours is an interesting perspective. As a resident of the great state of Texas, I offer only that a number of my fellow citizens look upon NY's example of state leadership with absolute, unadulterated envy, even as we field emails and texts from friends around the world, including New York, expressing bewilderment and alarm at the latest news ("Wasn't anyone paying attention?"). E N V Y, I tell you. Put that kind of "incompetence" in a bottle and I'll take a case ... if not a truckload. Heck, for a delivery like that, I'd even consider leaving my house.

Tell you what, if my personal opinion about Cuomo bothers you, I'll delete it. It's solely my opinion based on how a relative who happens to be a New York State Police Officer, was treated after being injured on the job. But, I wouldn't want to upset anyone, in any way who believes that opinion has anything to do with politics.

I am curious if you would care to provide a bit more detail as to what you perceive as envious on Cuomo 's performance.

Enough!

No more posts about Governors.

Do you want to have this thread closed?

Just... stop. /end

Your comment about Cuomo didn't bother me. We are all entitled to our own opinions. Whether we choose to share them here or not is up to us. What "bothered" me was this part: "That has nothing to do with politics and let me add, I don't care what affiliation he is." If I had used that same statement, this one: "Personally, Cuomo has, and continues to not care about anyone, but himself, IMHO." and used another politician, or someone in office, name I would have been accused of the statement being political. But if you make it, it's not.
