Gov. Cuomo is considering using SUNY & CUNY Buildings as hospitals!

Gov. Cuomo is considering using the empty SUNY (State University of NY) & CUNY (City University of NY) buildings as temporary hospitals! Great idea IMHO.

State officials must act soon. If they can use these SUNY and CUNY buildings, that would be very helpful, since it's likely our hospitals will be overwhelmed in the near future. And then they can try to figure out how to deal with the shortage of ventilators, masks, tests, etc.

I live on Long Island. Governor Cuomo is doing an excellent job!! He's on tv several times a day,telling it like it is. He is also acting as swiftly as he can to set up testing & mainstream the process. Setting up hospitals in SUNY & CUNY buildings is an excellent idea.

Having him lead my state gives me some piece of mind. He is a thoughtful caring man who is clearly putting the welfare of New Yorkers above all else.

I'm glad Governor Cuomo is at the helm steering the ship.

I don't know. He was rambling this morning about going to his parent's apartment during some previous crisis and how his sweet mother played with his daughters and he and his father watched sports onTV, then he went off rambling more about how he can't see one of his daughters now and how he misses kissing her all over her face. I found it very bizarre.

A very family man, he cares. A good leader.

Pet ventilators can be used on humans.

I haven't paid much attention to the Governor before this most recent crisis, but I've seen him on TV a lot since this all began.

I like him.

He has a natural leadership presence and I see him going much further in his career, should he wish.

I guess eventually I will have to make myself familiar with his platform, but for now he appears to be doing an excellent job leading his state through this.......from an outsider's opinion anyway.

I've been impressed by Governors Cuomo and Inslee (WA).

@RetRN I saw that & I had a different take on it. IMO he was showing his humanity . He was relating to regular people with small kids who are home to entertain & elderly parents to care for. His daughter is in isolation & he was saying how he misses contact with her.

I think it's refreshing to have a leader who relates to his public.

Gov Cuomo has acted in a proactive, insightful, and intelligent manner. My Gov (Roy Cooper) has been Excellent, he worked closely with the local University School Of Public Health, and the State DPPH, and has done the same. We have drive through testing after screening and have turned a couple of now empty dorms into potential infirmaries. Never have I seen Cuomo behave in a bizarre manner.

Looking back, I think many Govs will be seen as major heroes of this pandemic.

I would also like to give a shout out and thumbs up to Governor Beshear of KY. He has been stellar so far and I expect that to continue. I am very impressed with him.

Gov. Cuomo has been great in such stressful time. When he speaks I feel confident he knows what he is talking about. I know that New York will be fine with him in charge. Seeing him this morning talking about his parents and daughters was very nice and made me feel that we are all in the same situation. I feel that he cares.

Governor Cuomo is an inspirational leader. You know he really cares about his state and its people. Just listening to him this morning gave me peace of mind that has been missing. I truly admire him as a leader and as a human being!

I've been so impressed with him too.

I think he is not only taking care of his state but leading in example for the rest of the country, along with other governors taking the lead and

taking every measure to keep people as safe as they can!

Grateful for all of them!

I so enjoyed listening to him this a.m. No bragging, no me, me, me. Yes, he rambles a little but it is so nice to listen to an adult leader. New Yorkers are luckyl.

I apologize for short changing any of the governors that are stepping up and accepting the responsibilities that come with their roles. It's very reassuring.
