Gov. Andrew Cuomo Had the Worst Response to the Crisis of Any Governor in America
The press has been gushing about the performance of New York Governor Andrew Cuomo for weeks. The media often compares Cuomo’s “decisive” response to the coronavirus pandemic to the president, and guess who always wins?

Whether it’s good PR from the governor’s office or just the media worshipping a liberal who says mean things about Donald Trump, it hardly matters. What matters is results. And in that department, Andrew Cuomo has been a miserable failure — using several metrics.

And it’s not just the numbers. The panicky, sometimes hysterical New York governor began whining about the federal government (specifically the president) not doing anything to help the states with getting medical supplies. Back in March, he kept saying he needed 30-40,000 ventilators. And when Trump pointed out that was silly, he accused the president of being an unfeeling monster.

Compared to whom?

 

[meketrefe]

They all suck and the local, state, federal and international level, all of them, almost every country with few exceptions.
The worse has been the lack of transparency and honesty, like always.

But, but, some think he's marvy!!!!!

I think his response was pretty good if covid turned out to be as bad as most models predicted.

However it looks like they were wrong and therefore he overreacted. That is not terrible if he then unwound restrictions quickly. That he has not done.

I think his response and that of NYCs leaders due to political correctness and politics in general was to slow and behind the 8 ball. The most probable reason NYC got slammed was they ignored a threat (for the above reasons) until it bit them in the ass.
The poor use of available resources to protect the most vulnerable is the bigger fail.

Well said. I am no epidemiologist or economist or scientist of any kind, really, but I have been thinking in the back of mind there has to be some way to measure how many people DiBlowmeo essentially killed with his bullshit.

Lol... Good response? You mean with all the help from the Feds right? FEMA, Ventilators, Money.. Cuomo shut everything down...not hard to do.

Not as many as Monkeyface did by ordering nursing homes to take in kung flu positive patients from hospitals after they were stabilized, but before they were clear of the virus.

I think DiFailo's tally is orders of magnitude above FUAC's.

Different strokes.

 

[tony]

My question is, what happens next year should this virus reappear as an annual event as most flu's do? Are they going to shut everything down?

I suppose that would be an indication of if he overreacted or not...

 

[Steal2B]

FUAC may have enjoyed his chance at extermination camp moments, but it was real sweet of him to send extra bodybags with the forced transfers.

 

[Mosinitis]

He is excellent at hogging the microphone.

 

[redtail]

Oh yea, he is a genius

Trump's fault. He needs to give ny a gabazillion more $.

But with a horrific pandemic everything needed to be shut down.

It's just that it hasn't turned out to be as bad as the bulk of models feared. So now we're seeing the economy die and a lot of people die due to lack of medical access for other ailments.

Don't forget about the deaths from suicide and drug overdose, both of which are skyrocketing but not acknowledged.

This.He should be indicted.Yet we see and hear very little about it from the mainstream media.He screamed for 30k ventilators I think he got around 4k and basically said Trump would be responsible for 26k deaths.Then he gave all the ventilators to NJ.He screamed for hospital beds and got a hospital ship and hospital tents set up in Central Park by the feds.They used none of the tents and sent the ship away.If Trump ordered the nursing homes to take the infected people the libs would be torching the White House.

 

[Robin]

Yep, he is a political animal and he freely and openly admits to just that. He has no judgment, just what is politically expedient, of course knowing big media will mollify his stupidity makes politically driven decisions sooooooooo much easier. And, apparently, people would rather believe media fantasy than the real facts.

Well, in fairness, DiBlasio sent the tents away because he didnt like the politics of the group that set them up.

And he was only able to send them away because they werent needed,he's no better,but he's a whole nuther subject.And I'll bet he couldnt send them away without Cuhomo's ok.

Well no, actually he kicked them out before it was even known whether they'd be needed or not.

Ok that ones on DiBlasdick,doesnt make Cuhomo any better.Maybe I was thinking of the Javits Center.

Unlike Trump, Cuomo's reaction actually *did* kill people.

What would NY's numbers look like if he had just sent known infected seniors to actual quarantine facilities instead of back to the nursing homes they came from ?

The right answer would have been to designate certain facilities or wards for covid, and only send covid patients there, not scatter them around all the facilities like seeds waiting to germinate.

Bonus for that plan is that the people operating those facilities could have had much stronger protection than "everyone". Real masks, proper decon procedures, etc... You can run a much tighter ship on a few floors than you can "everywhere".

Quarantine means separating the sick from the healthy, not locking sick and healthy people together so that the healthy get sick.

I would say they could have been used for other purposes but they are tents, actually the Javits Center would make a good place for positive nursing home pts to ride it out rather than be sent back to share space with other high risk folks.

Who do you think the exceptions are and why?

Don't take this comment as me defending FUAC, btw.

Taiwan and South Korea for example.
The saw the problem and reacted promptly and aggressively despite criticism.
they also educated everyone and were pretty transparent why they did what they did and how
little they know about the virus and could not predict outcomes. A far as best practices,
that are, quick detection and immediate action, they did a good job w/o political BS .
