1. That is what we need.

An honest, straightforward explanation of what is going on and what to do about it, from a compassionate person.

Trumpsky, on the other hand, is a seemingly bottomless well of useless babble, hostility, and utter fecklessness.

2. And you know it's driving his incompetent 'more insane'

how dare he present numbers and yes the Con spews undiluted bullshit.
I was never a Cuomo fan but he has elevated himself big time. He's dealing with this the way we expect rational, intelligent people to handle a crisis.

I watched the Trumpsky version and became nauseated by the sycophantic spectacle of it.

Gov. Cuomo's level headed presentation went a long way toward settling me down.

Like most folks, I suppose, the better my understanding, the better my attitude.

to curb some of that, and even in small doses, can make a world of difference.

8. And Peter Alexander gave him a nice soft ball to dispatch in a similar manner

Sadly one Alexander presented those two factual numbers he lost it. It was fall down funny watching the thin skinned idiot. He's a disgrace to humanity.

5. Gives us a hint of what it would be like if we had a POTUS.

I think some of the reason they are showing his pressers so much is that we need leadership that we so sorely miss.

I wonder if Trump is watching and is jeaslous.

10. Trump is probably fuming

because he watches Fox, and even Fox was airing a LOT of Cuomo's presser.

And now we see a Trump presser to follow. Oh boy. More lies and disinformation.

9. FOX aired a ton of Cuomo's presser

I was surprised. Don't know if they aired all of it, but a large chunk.

One thing Cuomo said stuck with me, and I am paraphrasing: "We cannot test every citizen. No one can do that."

Well, we are hearing that some people can be infected with very mild, or practically no, symptoms, and they can easily transmit the virus to others.

If that's the case, it will take a looooong time to get through this.

shoulder, on-stage gaggle which preaches but doesn't practice social distancing.

Can trump's lie-spewing pressers get any worst?
