Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsPresident Cuomo is putting a plan in place, which is allowing me to do the same.
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.

"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."

(4,379 posts)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.

(15,801 posts)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.

(1,609 posts)The West Coast is doing a far better job. Seattle could have gone the way of NY.

(51,308 posts)I thought Seattle was cooked when this thing first jumped off.
They really got ahold of it quickly.

(9,952 posts)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.

(4,379 posts)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.

Proud Liberal Dem
(24,412 posts)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.
