- I wish only good for Chris Cuomo. I wouldn't change places with him and his family/friends must be concerned. Now isn't the time to be rude - even if it is your opinion
- Andrew Cuomo runs circles around my governor. If he isn't your governor -- don't say anything. If he is -- please know he's offering great leadership for our country - heads and tails above so many governors in our country.
@jeanlake
thank you for this post. it is needed.
i like chris, but like you, i would not want to trade places with him, not even if i could have his contact list of specialists and be guaranteed that they would take my call. i think chris is helping people understand the non ventilator version of the virus.
sadly, many people won't 'get it', until they actually get the virus. its obvious that many don't understand. if they did, they would not be going to the grocery store every week or every other week. why? 'cause each time you leave the house, the chances of getting the virus increases.
not that there is a good time to get hurt somehow, but this definitely isn't the time to find out. why? i asked a friend that is the chief of staff at a large hospital, if there were 2 waiting rooms for the emergency room now. the answer '%$#$% no'. to clarify i asked if someone breaks their arm or gets in the car wreck, are they in the same vicinity as incoming covid19 patients. the answer - 'yes, pretty much'. even though i have no plans to leave the house any time soon, that was enough for me.
andrew has set the tone and pace (the pace is critical) for what governors should be doing. sticking to the medical facts, really knowing how the federal government works, (guess that comes from him actually working for the federal government BEFORE he became governor - talk about doing things in the right order <smile>. work history counts)
because of andrew, other governors are trying to up their game. many are way more then a day late and way more than a dollar short.
the other day i heard the governor of ct saying that the lower part of his state should be included with new york. really? that cracked me up. perhaps he wasn't listening when a few weeks ago andrew said that he was working with nj and ct - aka the tri-state area. q-tips anyone?
apparently, people didn't realize how 'connected' andrew was BEFORE he became the governor. andrew's staff is on point also.
