...and CV is no longer "local". Much of the info Gov Cuomo is giving is applicable all over the country.

up the WH occupant's butt; there's no space for his nose, I would think. Just give us the facts and stop praising the WH occupant.

Listening to him reminds me of something I once heard: a real leader knows the way, goes the way and shows the way.

He isn't my governor, but he certainly gives me more information than I presently have available from mine. It doesn't matter that he is in New York as we are, for the most part, in the same CV-19 bucket.

The advice he gives to his citizens and the neighboring states' citizens supports what I am already doing on my own devices. I am watching what he does to make sure the hospitals are prepared for the tsunami of patients which should encourage smaller hospitals in my state to step up to the plate. We all know the Republicans are dragging their feet and will until a bunch of them are in ICU gasping for breath.

Cuomo speaks slowly so people get the message. I give him credit for being so thorough.

He's actively exploring EVERY option.

I know what he is doing, why, and I trust that he will leave no stone unturned.

I wish I were in NY in some ways (I'm in VT where we are exceptionally nice, but we have no $, no infrastructure and little power nationally).

I don't think we can cope as well as he can/NY can (well, the entire tri-state area.

I think his briefings are magnificent. Clear and truthful, compassionate. He explains the steps we should take without instilling fear or panic. I wish we had a national leader like him during this crisis.
