    So the 84K deaths projected by the scientific experts, is that higher or lower than what most thought a month ago? Ive been hearing 100-200 for a week or so?

    Thanks,

    Cuomo is having a press conference, said he is already working on plans for when things get better in NY he will send equipment and personnel to other states to help them. When it comes to the virus there are no red or blue states. This is going to come at states in waves and we all have to help each other.

    It's bullshit they didn't name him to be the next James Bond, he would have had a license to kill the virus.

    Great! Someone has to step up while Trump's just twiddling his thumbs.

    If Andrew gets it that's really going to fuck things up.

    I don’t quite understand the Andrew Cuomo fanaticism going on right now. His state was unprepared and is being ravaged by this pandemic as a result. Why is he being put on a pedestal as the guy with all the answers?

    You mean like being the worst affected state by far? The guy isn’t special.

    Everyone was unprepared, that's the past, it's about how you move on from there. He seems to be doing better than a lot of governors. I know he's doing better than Oregon's governor. Florida finally just closed the beaches today.

    It's like boxing or MMA, it's no longer about not getting punched in the face, it's about how to you respond after getting punched in the face.

    Step 1: Admit that you just got punched in the face.

    Step 2: Get up and fight back.

    If you're Trump:

    1. Don't admit you got punched, just say it's a scratch.
    2. Accuse anyone who says you got punched of being fake news.
    3. Talk about your next fight and how you're the best fighter ever.
    4. Pass out, but tell everyone you just slept.
    5. Tell people you hit yourself practicing.
    6. Admit that you accidentally got punched in the face, but it didn't hurt.
    7. Fire your trainer because he didn't know what he was doing.
    8. Blame the fighter from the previous match. He left the mat dirty and slippery.
    9. Ignore the reports that you actually were seen golfing during the time you said you were training.
    10. Categorize all those who deny you're the best fighter ever as people who are the enemy of the sport.
    11. Demand people give you credit for taking the punch stronger than any other fighter has ever taken it.
    12. Get up and fight back the applause you so rightly deserve.

    Nah... It's just because he speaks eloquently and sounds good. He really hasn't handled it all that well either. We're just like oh my a politician that can put three sentences together, amazing!

    Cuomo certainly acts more "presidential" than Trump does.
