President Cuomo is putting a plan in place, which is allowing me to do the same.

[shockey80]

Cuomo laid out a plan today on how he plans to slowly reopen my state of New York. It was very detailed and every county will have to reach certain standards before the stay at home order can be lifted. When and who can go back to work

This will allow me to finally make decisions about my future and my wife's future, instead of fucking guessing.

Cuomo also made it clear, nobody knows what this virus is going to do in the future.

In my opinion, Cuomo is the leader of our country. No one has shown more leadership than he has. People may disagree with me and that's fine. I am going to listen to Cuomo because he has earned my respect.

1. Seems like every state is saying open for business.

Heck you can’t complain about Texas but praise New York.

[cwydro]

2. NC is not doing that yet.

We’re still closed.

[jimfields33]

6. I exaggerated

Seems like Florida was full bore on the first. But when the first gotvhere DeSantis put the breaks on the open. We will see how long it will be before he says “ charge!”

[cwydro]

13. Georgia is the one that blows my mind.

Idiot Kemp.

I’m sure that’s why tangeranus upped the future death toll. Trying to cover his ass when the next surge hits.

[lunatica]

27. He's gotten completely transparent

Anyone who doesn’t see what’s really going on every time he opens his mouth is, quite frankly, stupid.

[lagomorph777]

34. Isn't that a Ray Charles song?

[cwydro]

35. Lol!

[SoCalNative]

11. As are we in CA

eom

[Raine]

37. Governor Newsom has guidelines for opening up

some things starting this Friday if all goes according to plan.

[SoCalNative]

38. Yes, smaller retail establishments

and then only for curbside pickup:

"Under the new guidelines, the governor said bookstores, music stores, toy stores, florists, sporting goods retailers and others can reopen for pickup as early as Friday. He said more detailed guidelines on the businesses that can reopen would be released later this week."

[shockey80]

3. What??

[Nikki28]

4. he

is the only one I listen to when it concerns these press conferences. I wished so much that he had thrown his hat in the ring with we had 20 something candidates.I bet he would be neck and neck with Biden. If Biden had not gotten in and Cuomo was instead, than this race would be a non starter.He can have his pressers before the crazy drunk Trump and it would be game on.Love myself some Cuommy.

[jimfields33]

8. He's knows he's got the worst state in the country. He had no choice.

[shockey80]

9. What??

[jimfields33]

10. Oh you don't know that New York is close to 25,000 deaths.

Next is New Jersey, Michigan and on and on to Wyoming the least of all. I thought that was general knowledge. Sadly New York was hit hard. I feel for them.

[shockey80]

12. You cannot compare New York City to any place in the country.

Doing so shows you are clueless.

[jimfields33]

14. As are you jumping up and down excited about New York reopening.

That should be the last state to do so. Nothing joyful about this regardless of how you feel. Sorry use facts.

[cwydro]

16. True indeed. nt

[shockey80]

28. New York is not reopening yet.

DUH!

[cwydro]

36. Ooh.

Clever response!

[helpisontheway]

5. Our governor (in Virginia) is supposed to give us a detailed plan today at 2pm. nt

[shockey80]

7. I like your governor, i'm sure it will be a plan that makes sense.

[cwydro]

15. I hope your wife has some say-so in your "making decisions for my future and my wife's future."

[LizBeth]

23. Lol, I was thinking the same when I read that.

[cwydro]

25. Amazing, isn't it?

What year is this again lol?

[LizBeth]

29. Right.

[BlueLucy]

17. Oregon is not "opening"

and they have far less COVID 19 than NY.

[cwydro]

18. Yeah, as I said downthread, neither is NC.

I like Cuomo, but I remember when he first resisted closing.

He’s done a great job since then, but I’m glad I don’t live there.

[BlueLucy]

19. I'm also glad I don't live there.

The West Coast is doing a far better job. Seattle could have gone the way of NY.

[LizBeth]

22. Pretty close to being as dense. I agree.

[cwydro]

26. They really have.

I thought Seattle was cooked when this thing first jumped off.

They really got ahold of it quickly.

[LizBeth]

30. I agree. I am in Oregon and we get lots of traffic from Wa and Ca. I got to watch from the start.

The people from Wa I saw were well aware. The did not use there hand to open the glass door entrance they shouldered it or used a sleeve. I would chuckle and joke with them that they weren't going to get no virus. This was Jan and Feb. By March they were canceling and standing far apart, wearing mask and well aware with disinfecting. We were disinfecting everything, but our pens they had to use too. Very aware and appreciative. Then, I stopped working cause everything shut down middle of March. I really appreciate how all three states worked together.

[shockey80]

33. Once again, you cannot compare New York City to anywhere in the country.

The rest of New York is doing just as well as the West coast. New York City is very unique and if you listened To Cuomo at his press conferences you would understand why.

Does Seattle have a subway system that hundreds of thousands people take to work every day? Does Seattle have tens of thousands of people traveling from other States by train, subway for work.? There is a reason New Jersey, Connecticut got hit hard. Many of their people work in New York City.

Is Seattle as densely populated as New York City? Does Seattle have as many people from around the world as New York City landing at it airports.

Cuomo explained the virus that hit the West Coast and New York City may be different strains. The West Coast strain came from China, The New York City strain came from Europe. So when Trump shut down travel from China that helped the West coast, not New York City. Trump did not shut down travel from Europe until WEEKS later. Most people that travel from Europe go to New York City.

You should listen to Cuomo, you would learn something.

[Steelrolled]

43. You are absolutely right about NYC

and that is why I was not at all impressed by the spat between Cuomo and de Blasio about a shelter-in-place order for NYC. It was a bad look at the time, and in retrospect, ....

[Tipperary]

44. You can sure as hell compare it to London, Paris, Rome,

numerous other major cities around the world. Come on, NY had/has more cases than any other COUNTRY for crying out loud!

[LizBeth]

21. I love the west coast coalition. I think what Oregon is doing is wording it so if we chose, we stay

home and are able to still get unemployment. I think her actions were clever. And Brown opened up medical and dental which we need, so yea. Oregon is to July 6.

[Amaryllis]

41. OR easing some restrictions like dental and elective surgeries. But Kate BRown is being

very careful and methodical, and coordinating with CA,, WA, CO, NV.

[LizBeth]

20. I think Inslee has just more quietly.

[cwydro]

31. Agree. Also the governors of Michigan, Virginia, NC, Oregon, California.

There may be others I’ve overlooked.

[LizBeth]

32. Kentucky is the surprise one. That Gov can be harsh.

[quickesst]

24. The only person....

.... I'll be calling president is Joe Biden.

[cwydro]

39. ...

[Proud Liberal Dem]

40. Indiana is "reopening" on a phased plan

Not really happy about it but our Governor seems he is doing it about as responsibly as he thinks is possible and made it clear that he will pull the yoke back if he has to. Plus, he is NOT attempting to override any local restrictions, so that's at least positive. Where I'm at (Indianapolis) is still not going to (maybe) be out of the starting gate until mid-May right now since we are in one of the hardest hit counties (Marion). I'm an essential State Worker (CPS), so I never really stopped working, but we have been allowed to do a lot of our work remotely, which I have been very grateful for.

[Polybius]

42. I prefer to say President Newsom

But either works.
