There's no article to post yet because I'm listening to Cuomo's presser now.

The tri-state Governors have coordinated their closures, reductions and other actions to combat Covid-19.

Newest items that have perked my ears is no gatherings over 50.  Bars will get special temporary rule change so they can deliver product to people at home and to take-out.  Government office must reduce their in office staff by 50%.  Those that can must work at home.  Those that are non-essential will stay at home.

This is what the Governors need to do If Trump did this they would say he was taking State Powers away.   So I think Cuomo is going good just don't blame Trump/Feds this is HIS job to close HIS state businesses.   It is wrong to say Federal Guidance is Lacking this is HIS JOB!

That's exactly what Cuomo said at the beginning of the presser.  If the government won't provide guidance, the governors need to band together and do what's necessary.  And that's what the Tri-State area did.  

That's the issue.  There is no guidance.  Well there is.. via the CDC... but there's no back-up to what the CDC is saying.

I understand what you're saying. But I still disagree.  Trump is failing to recognize his chance to shine, if you think about it.  By failing to provide guidance, by not taking charge... he's failing.

I am not Trump supporter, but you do not know how lucky you are in the US.  Here, we have stopped testing anyone who is not in hospital and older people in care homes are not being taken into hospital ALREADY!!!!

Trump has done you no favours in reducing care, CDC funding and such like, but, even though he is downplaying it in what he says, there are efforts to both monitor and limit the spread. 

We have stopped bothering over here.  As if anyone over 60 is worthless.  People are already being abandoned to die at home! BBC 24 was showing care home staff this very morning begging for help.  People are being asked to self-isolate, but that is pointless if they don't know the real risks - like knowing the numbers infected.

Trump is a prat!  But he looks like Einstein compared to our idiots.

How do you tell if a politician is lying?
His lips or pen are moving.
