It was a stunning confession.
During a press briefing on Tuesday, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo admitted that closing schools and colleges in his state was a spur-of-the-moment decision based on a health crisis for which he was not prepared. “What we said at a moment of crisis is ‘isolate everyone,’” Cuomo told reporters while seated in front of boxes of medical supplies. “Close the schools, close the colleges, send everyone home, isolate everyone in their home. [It] wasn’t even smart, frankly, to isolate younger people with older people.”Cuomo conceded that the reason he ordered public schools and colleges shut down was that

He is showboating. And he really doesn’t show well. Maybe in New Yawk, but not out here where we speak English and don’t sound like mafia thugs.

Showboating and pontificating. This guy thinks he is "America's Governor". His head has expanded at a faster rate than the hospitalization rate in NY since they have televised these briefings. His brother Fredo is trying to prop him up on CNN.

In the "good old days" of "real journalism," Fredo Cuomo would NEVER be allowed to mention, much less report a word about his brother, the Governor of New York, Guido Cuomo. But those days are gone, alas.

He was certainly loud and proud when the NY legislature passed their abortion always, everywhere, and any reason law. Maybe that's the reason that NY is having such a severe outbreak?

Don Cuomo is a pathetic leader but Governor Wolf of Pennsylvania still wins the wooden dummy award for closing the rest areas of the Interstate highways and the Turnpike while expecting truck drivers to complete daily deliveries of critical supplies to stores and institutions. You could probably make the six hour trip across Pennsylvania without stopping if you didn't have a cup of coffee in the morning but Heaven help you if you forgot.

Snide angry know it all who has wasted billions of dollars. The all knowing governor has been forcing hospitals to merge and remove hospital beds, ignoring many doctors who warned about the potential consequences should an epidemic happen.

Cuomo is the current media darling. They have chose Governor Cuomo to be the appointed hero of the Corona Virus debacle as the anti-Trump. They are also giving him a platform to audition to replace Biden for the 2020 Democrat Presidential nomination. While Cuomo may be popular with the media and in and around New York City, he is not that popular outside of the NYC metro area. People I know in upstate NY can't stand the guy.

Courage is a rare commodity among politicians. Most are calculating cowards, addicted to power. Cuomo is a glittering example.

#5, allow me to add that our dimwitted little governor, Wolf, shut down all dental procedures in Pa, including emergency situations, unless the dental procedure took place in a negative pressure room, not available to dentists.
the dental society pointed out to the dimwitted Wolf that the only alternative for a dental patient with an emergency was the ER, where the physician would have to give them opiods.
Wolf finally relented.
(Ever since the AIDS crisis, dentists have established protocols for i9nfection control - some of them, better than physician offices.)
Cuomo is a fraud - Wolf is an idiot.

What's even scarier than politicians that don't have a clue but think they know everything, is the huge number of idiots that elect and then keep re-electing them.

"a leading Democratic politician prioritized open borders diversity politics over public health."
YOU are expendable so that I can carry out my political goals.
New York was notified several years ago that they needed 16,000 more ventilators to be ready for a possible pandemic. Instead of buying the ventilators, "The task force “came up with rules that will be imposed when ventilators run short,” "
I.E. Death panels, something that seems to constantly appeal to the dems sense of "healthcare". We want the best healthcare in the world unless we determine you aren't worth the expense and then we pull the plug. By devaluing people and eliminating them through "healthcare" firing squads, they can balance their books.
Now a slimy Cuomo is trying to blame Trump for the state's incompetence.
Desperate dems may be scraping the bottom of the barrel for non senile representatives but the rest of us look at all the dem leaders in revulsion.

The nationwide knee-jerk reaction to close schools is going to have lasting repercussions. How are schools nationwide going to evaluate students who have only completed three-fourths of a year? Kick them upstairs, unprepared? (The most likely scenario, in my view.) A full or partial repeat of the past year? How would that work for new K & 1st-graders joining the flow? This situation demands exactly the kind of flexibility at which governments are notoriously bad.

Neither Fredo or his brother would ever be employed were it not for their father, Mario the pious.

He used to keep his yap shut more, and we thought that Fredo was the dumb one. Now, after him blathering on so much on Fox.....the question is in doubt.

Hey, Andrew, where’s that $6 billion that went missing when you were running HHR? Maybe you could use some of it for the hospitals in your state.

Let me get this straight. Governor Andrew Cuomo doesn't want his mommy to die from COVID 19, but he's okay signing a law that allows the killing of babies in their mother's wombs up to the time of birth. There's a special place in hell waiting for this guy!

He is an evil, liar, but NYC, Buffalo, Albany, Rochester, Syracuse elect rats forever. Doesn't matter when they get caught. Even if they go to jail, those rat voters elect another rat. Even more pathetic are the millions of dopes in this state who don't vote and then whine about what is happening. It's all falling apart and the vaunted 'tough' NY press is the biggest part of the problem. They aren't just rats or rat sympathizers, they are huge cowards as well, so the Thug never gets investigated or even a hard question. I understand. When you have filthy, dirty cops in the form of despicable NY State cops who happily work as Cuomos personal police force, you are reluctant to get in the face of the Thug. The creep Eliot Spitzer was the same, as well as all the other bent rats who held life and death power in the Empire state.

Good leadership is not asking the feds to run your state with their Big $$$$!
