Coronavirus

[CWipes]

Coronavirus, it's been here before and it will be here again.

So the next coronavirus is still out there. The coronavirus isn't something new, it's how we prepare that I think is most important.

There was a movie in 2011 called Contagion Directed by Steven Soderbergh with Matt Damon, Kate Winslet, Jude Law.

I suggest everyone who hasn't seen it yet do so.

Stay well.

Your description sounds perfect for someone else, Sol - someone who held a much higher position than Governor - at least until January 20th.

Clip shows Como lied when he sent covid-19 patients into nursing homes. He is under investigation for good reasons.

9,000 COVID Patients Sent to Nursing Homes as Cuomo Administration Withheld Numbers: AP

More than 9,000 recovering coronavirus patients in New York state were released from hospitals into nursing homes early in the pandemic — a number more than 40 percent higher than what the state health department previously released

I think this is just the tip of the iceberg with Cuomo. Last week I thought he’d built enough good will and political capital over decades to survive this scandal. Not so sure now...I think there is more to come. He has a lot of political friends, but too many enemies even within his party. Keep an eye on AG, and we may see some civil suits soon.

You seem so concerned with Trump doing the wrong thing but not a peep about Como, like he gets a free pass since he is your flavor.

Robert I would agree with you on this. I am generally surprised that so many Democrats are coming out now calling him a bully. This controversy has been going on for almost a year now, but there was little scrutiny until Letitia James report. I actually think that everyone held back criticism because he was such an ardent foe of Trump. Ironically, Trump's election loss may be the worst thing that could have happened to Cuomo.

 

[The Nature Boy]

Just look @ the way he handles deblasio, no fucking respect whatsoever. Totally wasn’t surprised by that Asian dude who said Cuomo threatened him and scared the shit out of his wife. Truly a fucking piece of shit. It scares me to think if this POS merged with the POS Trumpy is? They would form a super shit kinda like devastator on transformers and totally fuck up the country

Just look @ the way he handles deblasio, no fucking respect whatsoever.

There are much better references on how bad Cuomo treats people without using Mayor Debozio. The mayor is a complete idiot, get's respect from nobody and actually deserves to spoken to that way. Debozio and Cuomo have a love hate relationship and are constantly either sucking each other dicks or blaming each other for their fuck ups. We see this more in NY because we get to see the local and state press conferences. I can see why people would want to sympathize with Debozio, but he is just playing you.

 

[The Nature Boy]

Nyc’s A tough place to be mayor. It just seems like that during the months of March and April when I think Deblasio was puttin in an honest effort Cuomo just seemed like he was getting agitated someone was stealing his thunder

Not defending Cuomo (please note correct spelling) - just saying Trump was and is FAR worse.

Being silent when if Trump did what Cuomo did you would be in full rant is defending.

Ronny D in hot water over Manatee County Vaccination Clinics:

DeSantis defends controversial vaccine deal with developer -- and threatens to pull vaccines if officials don't like it

Florida's Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis has threatened to move a pop-up vaccination clinic that his state has set up in an affluent community in Manatee County after he was confronted with allegations of political favoritism and preference for the wealthy at a news conference Wednesday.

www.cnn.com

I was thinking about this today when I was reading about more Covid vaccination sites opening up in NY. The state and FEMA are partnering to get these up and running. What made me think of your article was that these new vaccination spots are only to be used by people in certain zip codes, at least during the initial rollout.

1. No, it's not. I suggest you consult a decent dictionary for the definition of defending.
2. Your sentence is mere speculation in any case. You have no way of knowing what I or anyone else would do in any random situation. You can guess and your guess might be right or it might be wrong but you have no way of knowing another person's actions in advance. BTW, I do not feel the need to publish on MERB my EVERY thought on EVERYTHING that ever happens. Sorry if that disappoints you.
3. Though neither Trump nor Cuomo deserves applause for their handling of the pandemic, I repeat that Trump's actions were far worse. I invite you to check any RELIABLE news source and do your own UNBIASED analysis. No need for you to report back: I've already studied the facts on both and your opinion is irrelevant to me in any case.

But...if you believe, as your quoted post indicates, that "being silent...is defending", then why have YOU been silent about Trump's HORRENDOUS lies and mismanagement of the pandemic? Don't worry, Sol - I don't expect an answer from you. Cheers, as always.

If that was the case you would not be replying to every single post daily and many multiple times.

As for not posting against Trump, you and your buddies are doing a fine job with that. I have posted many times that Trump is an ass but I personally do not care as I never plan to have him over for dinner, before covid ( many screwed up on covid ) he had the US economy firing on all cylinders and what else he does has zero effect on my life. I would hate to be a person who wakes up and has a need to be angry at someone who has zero impact on my life, waste of energy and time.

For those thinking Biden will get them out of the covid-19 blues, an opinion piece which in my opinion rings true.

Stop looking to Fauci and Biden for permission on returning to 'normal' (msn.com)

 

[The Nature Boy]

There was a baseline set by the prior administration. The baseline set a very low mark. Very, very, very low.

I’m not looking for Biden or Fauci for permission for anything. Just for another approach and so far from what I’ve seen, to me, it’s a lot better than what was offered. Can it still be better? Absolutely

Is there a possibility that there’s going to be a new normal and people don’t want to hear that?

Why is it that when some say China virus people get upset but when they say UK variant all is good? Something to think about, maybe I am missing something.

Oh come on Saully. Just say you need a reason to start shit up with Asian peeps and leave it @ that. You don’t need to call it kung flu or China virus. British people in USA aren’t dealing with this
