It’s hard to conceive of a stupider, more useless announcement. On March 31st he announced that patients were going to be moved to upstate hospitals to relieve the burden on NYC hospitals. Three days later he signed an executive order directing the National Guard to seize medical equipment from the very hospitals that were supposed to serve the overflow. Four days later it was reported that 350 hospital beds sat vacant in Syracuse while the hospitals were crashing financially. Currently, there are hundreds of hospital beds sitting empty in upstate while medical personnel are being furloughed daily. Weeks into this mess it was reported that Blacks and Hispanics were being particularly hard hit by Corona while just today it was announced that finally starting some day soon more testing will be done in those communities. Wonder where it was being done up until now? While he raged at Trump over not providing enough medical equipment for New York, Cuomo was hiding medical equipment in warehouses in New Jersey. I’m unaware of any reports following up on Cuomo’s personal stash of medical supplies. Leftie, you’re right about DiBlasio. He’s a horse’s ass and always will be. But this has been management by press release from Day One.
