(5,813 posts)He thinks and talks rationally, unlike tRump who talks in vague (or false) generalities. He is asking people to be creative. He is talking about his own mother and how to keep your mother and family safe. Common sense in a time when that is what we need. Be calm. Use your head. Social distancing is for everyone, not just a few who think they are at risk.
This is a good time for our leaders to demonstrate their ability to lead. tRump has failed over and over. Others like a Cuomo have shown strength and courage. He is not afraid to state hard truths. He is showing the leadership from the top that we need. No sugarcoating. Just tell it to us straight. Not scare tactics. Just truth. Thank you, Gov. Cuomo.

(25,270 posts)What bothers me is that we have 50 Govs of States and they are all competing for limited supplies.
It seems to me that the Federal Government should be working to find and buy supplies. They can negotiate a single price. And the Fed Government doesn't need to become a 'shipping clerk'.
Supplies can be dropped shipped to the States by the vendor. Essentially all vendors are set up to do that.
All we need from the Fed Government is to find the supplies; require manufacturers to make additional supplies ASAP; and see that the supplies are distributed to the States fairly (i.e., all States get supplies).
I'm concerned that if a price war breaks out because we have 50 Govs competing for limited supplies - some States will either get price gouged or not get supplies at all - cause they will go to the States that perhaps are in a better financial situation than others.
