New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) was optimistic Tuesday about new data from the last 24-hours that shows the lowest number of daily COVID-19 fatalities in his state since its stay-at-home order began in March.
Yes, he said that. And heâs said basically the same thing every day that the daily deaths has dropped. Why is this news now? Because yes, fewer deaths than the day before is good news, even if itâs fucking insane that âonlyâ 73 deaths is âgoodâ. Neither part of that is wrong. Those numbers are good news. And itâs fucking insane that thatâs true, but it is.
Later than would have been optimal, but took effective measures once he got his head around what he was looking at. As for the blame⌠heâs a politician. Whenâs the last time any politician said âyep, thatâs on me. Oopsâ?
Yeah, so did I. As Iâve said in other responses: heâs a Cuomo. :shrug: Iâll take a competentâif typically arrogant and kinda dense sometimesâCuomo over pretty much anything the upper echelons of the Republican Party has to offer right now.
Pffft. I said a politician, not âThe Oneâ. or even John McCainâs âThat Oneâ.
