New York Dems Try To Divert Responsibility While Exporting Corona Virus

[Shrimpbox]

While Cuomo and Deblasio get into a pissing contest with the feds they have not locked down the city but continue to export,corona virus by allowing people to travel outside New York. Half the corona cases are in New York City and it is increasingly clear that the rest of the country is going to be held hostage by the big apple. It defies common sense that cuomo wants to argue about ventilators when his inaction is promoting the spread of corona in the rest of the country, the rest of us are at risk because New York is not in lockdown. If we are all in this together and I have a responsibility to stay at home than the epicenter of the virus has a responsibility to lockdown the whole city a la China.

And let’s remember the context. As of today, 800 people have died let’s say in last two weeks. 55,000 have the virus. The number of deaths has stabilized in the low double digits during last 24 hrs. The news media of all stripes promotes panic and juices up every report in a national pressure cooker. fox runs a scoreboard of the numbers 24/7 like it is a sporting event. All these numbers are dwarfed by flu statistics, and most of the results are skewed by the fact that testing has increased dramatically even though 90% of those tested don’t have the virus. If the malaria pill lives up to its promise, the crisis will be over sooner rather than later and trumps hope for an Easter normalcy will be in reach. Hopefully we can descend from this brinksmanship soon and go to living our lives among all the risks we have survived before with a renewed sense of purpose.

Not getting it are you? This isn't the flu. There is no stabilization as of yet. We are still on the upward slope of the curve. If we can start living a limited, normal existence by Memorial Day, I'll be stunned. It took China 2.5 months to flatten their curve. We are barely one week into our version of a lockdown. This article is an example of how quickly this spreads and why it's impossible to go back to just living our lives until we completely lock down people's worst behavioral instincts. This was a March 5th party, and we're now just seeing the devastation.
40 people in Connecticut exposed to coronavirus at a party, officials say

Stories like this are starting to surface all over the place. People as far back as February attending events and traveling, spreading this virus.
I ask you, if the leader of the free world, the President of the United States comes home from Davos on January 22nd and proceeds to implement all or most of the policies that were only put in place after March 13th, you think we might be having a different outcome?

Meanwhile Fredo's brother and Mayor Desgraciado continue to whine while they both cut their disaster health planning. It appears that a lot people displaced by the Sandy Hurricane still haven't had their homes restored and FEMA is being forced to leave some homes unfinished even after 8 years thanks to both the Governor and Mayor.

In case you missed it, the topic is why aren't DEMOCRATS locking down their hotspots by enforcing quarantine of their cities? Take note, it has NOTHING to do with Trump.

Something that would have been addressed if we had a real leader sitting in the White House.
It has everything to do with Trump....and his complete dismissal and subsequent lack of response...until the adults had to step in.

Why isn't the MSM and Cuomo shaming these people fleeing NY as being selfish and irresponsible by putting other peoples lives in danger like they did with teens traveling for spring break?

We do have a real leader. He is the one you clowns called racist for trying to stop the spread before it even entered this country.

This country has the emotional maturity of an 11-year-old as witnessed by the riots being caused and the borrowing of massive amounts of money that we cannot pay back.\

It isn't that people should do the right thing, it is that YOU see people free and exercising liberty as bad behavioral instincts. It speaks volumes on how readily you'd become the tyrant.

You might have a point...

Maybe Trump should shut down the roads and airports in NY, and have troops seal the state off (with nothing except emergency supplies which can be airdropped going in)... and allowing NOTHING and NOBODY to leave the state... until the outbreak is over!!!

No one called him a racist....I mean they call him a racist for other reasons but not for shutting off travel with China on January 31st. People just pointed out that it was too late.

Trump Dubs COVID-19 ‘Chinese Virus’ Despite Hate Crime Risks

Well, the tyrant comes out easy in some people, it appears you are 'some' people.

Tell me, if it is not responsible for people to go out and live a free life, how is it then responsible that there is even a consideration of 'essential' when it comes to people working?

Arbitrary designation of 'essential' still has people going out and intermingling. Banking through a drawer rather than at a counter is not safer. Not by any stretch of the imagination is it safer.

Keeping pot shops open is not safe.
Keeping liquor stores open is not safe.

In fact, given any level of 'essential' currently described, why is it that YOU are not screaming that the military KEEP US in our homes and not let us leave?

ALL 350 million of us. Or is there a line at which you won't do things for the "public health"?

BTW....They absolutely called his travel restriction 'racist'. Try looking at a source that is not anti-Trump.

There comes a time that tyranny in the form of paranoia is every bit as deadly as tyranny in the form of the lust of power.

40 people in Connecticut exposed to coronavirus at a party, officials say

Stories like this are starting to surface all over the place. People as far back as February attending events and traveling, spreading this virus.
I ask you, if the leader of the free world, the President of the United States comes home from Davos on January 22nd and proceeds to implement all or most of the policies that were only put in place after March 13th, you think we might be having a different outcome?

Wow, loving freedom and enjoying liberty is considered by you as bad behavioral instincts.

In case you missed it, the topic is why aren't DEMOCRATS locking down their hotspots by enforcing quarantine of their cities? Take note, it has NOTHING to do with Trump.

When you're spreading a highly contagious virus it is. I believe they call that a public health danger.
Something that would have been addressed if we had a real leader sitting in the White House.
It has everything to do with Trump....and his complete dismissal and subsequent lack of response...until the adults had to step in.

We do have a real leader. He is the one you clowns called racist for trying to stop the spread before it even entered this country.

This country has the emotional maturity of an 11-year-old as witnessed by the riots being caused and the borrowing of massive amounts of money that we cannot pay back.\

It isn't that people should do the right thing, it is that YOU see people free and exercising liberty as bad behavioral instincts. It speaks volumes on how readily you'd become the tyrant.

No one called him a racist....I mean they call him a racist for other reasons but not for shutting off travel with China on January 31st. People just pointed out that it was too late. But here, you can read all about the other reasons people might think he's playing up the racial card on this virus. Dangerous. But it's Trump we're talking about here.
Trump Dubs COVID-19 ‘Chinese Virus’ Despite Hate Crime Risks

Honestly, sometimes I have to read sentences in posts two or three times before I convince myself that I just read what I read. Are you saying that people spreading a contagious virus around because of their bad and irresponsible behaviors is somehow suppressing freedom and liberty?

Biden did.
Former Vice President Joe Biden hammered President Trumpfor cutting health programs amid an outbreak of the coronavirus that originated in China and has since spread to the U.S.

“We have, right now, a crisis with the coronavirus,” Biden said in Iowa Friday. “This is no time for Donald Trump’s record of hysteria and xenophobia - hysterical xenophobia - and fearmongering to lead the way instead of science.”

I could have sworn there were no flights in and out of NYC. I guess I'm just looking at the "wrong" (aka Non-Trump first) news.
