Re: Mario for President
I have to admit, although I am not fond of many of Cuomo's policies, he is being clear, concise, thoughtful, and empathic in this. He actually has reasons and a plan, and is not white washing things to make it look better.
He's doing a good job.

Re: we need to test everybody.
He's providing a plan. He is explaining what actions are being taken, why they are being taken, and giving information.
Your dislike of someone because of their being a democrat is noted.

Re: Chinese data
I personally don't believe the numbers China is reporting, for one little instance.
The fact that restaurants in the area where it broke out can only do takeout rather than dine in says there still are infections. I just don't believe there are not new infections and no new deaths

Re: Hydroxychloroquine
Yet,there have been some indication it does absoultely nothing for covid 19 when it comes to clinical trials. Plus, a related drug testing was discontinued in Brazil because of heart failure side effects.

Re: About to cross 40,000 deaths April 19. USA
That seems to be rather unsympathetic. Do you know what that 2Million would mean? It would mean husbands and wives, and children and brothers. Those are not just numbers, those are people.

Two years ago, Trump disbanded the pandemic response team that Obama put into place because of swine flu and ebola.
Here's the difference

Re: Comparisons
Another thing is to consider population density. I don't know of any place in Canada that is packed so full of people as the greater metropolitan NY area.

Re: A Lie: Trump Administration Claims About China Lab
It might have, since there is a virus study lab right in Wuhan. However, the Conspiracy theorists take that from 'escaping unintentionally' in that lab to 'created and purposely released'
It also is a place where there is a wet market, so it very well could have been that too. There is evidence it was circulating around, and there is speculation that they were hiding the severity so they could stock up on PPE and medical supplies.

Looks like we've found the first drug that works
In specifically, it's a steroid that if given to someone on oxygen or on a ventilator, drastically reducing the rate of mortality.

Re: The Straight Story on Masks
the cloth masks help protect others from you.
In places where masks are mandated, the Covid 19 new infection rate dropped 25%. In places where it isn't, it has drastically increased.
Even the cloth masks work. Particularly if they have a pocket inside, and you can put a filter in.

Re: 4th. of July numbers in.
NY had a 4 day upward trend, followed by a 4 day downward trend, so it was a very small hump. We are starting ot get anti-mask activist though.

Re: 07/20 numbers
Texans are very stubborn. They are worried about their 'freedom' rather than the common good.
The news from NY. We had a bump the last few weeks, but it looks like we have returned to normal. The local county's infection rate for new tests is at .5% NY hospitalizations were down to 716, down from a peak of 18825 on April 12th. And for about the last month, the statewide death rate has been bouncing between 5 and 15 (statewide).
I wish the southern states would have learned from the pain NY went through. I don't want people to go through that.
