Coronavirus:

Ironic how Cuomo was upset. RI. Was stopping New Yorkers. Now NYC’s sheriff is stopping out of state travelers. ( nobody is being denied entry to nyc) just questioning.

Hilarious.

Now Cuomo has a book published about his handling of the virus. Don't they have laws about these things. Elected officials taking book deals while in office. Oh f*&k it not much ethics left in government.

Depends on the state. I suspect it's perfectly legal in most states if not all.

Not legally allowed. How to we know it’s not bribe money. Chris Christe tried to change it. He failed. Its a violation in every state. Im on my cellphone now. Later I’ll post a link

Possibly true, but I don't know that to be true in every state -- should be.

From the publisher? Have you looked to see where the money is actually going? Is it actually going to him?

Chris Christe tried to change it. He failed.

There's a pillar of trustworthiness, Ok, he is a pillar.

Ok.

Cuomo has now stated "he will give the money to a charity". His book is about. How he handled the corona virus. They way i see it. This is the same as an athlete pointing to the scoreboard in the first quarter. When he is up by 2 touchdowns. Then getting shellacked the next 3 quarters. Its bad timing for a book of this nature.

IMO , Gov. Cuomo has been so good at what he has done, to date, regarding the Covid19 arrival in NYC as well as all of NY state, being a good listener , insisting on facts, listening while planning, making judgments when he had plenty of expert advice , self-controlled, non-theatrical in his actions , and seemingly not focused on adoration from anybody and everybody with a heartbeat, and ready to take qualified action when warranted and helpful, that I found myself wishing, all along, that he would be running , now, for President.

I'm serious in my considered opinion . Perhaps, it will have a place here.

He forced covid positive seniors to stay in nursing homes. Not allowing them in hospitals increased the spread through out nursing homes. Thats not a very smart way to protect the elderly.

True, but overall a remarkably sound job as governor. The mayor of NYC did strikingly less well. Was a few weeks slow in closing things down. What happened in nursing homes would probably have happened regardless, since the virus was brought in by the staff, who are largely non-professional, underpaid and represent high risks for the virus. The elderly population in institutional facilities were probably doomed whatever we did given the lack of treatment options early on, and the difficulties in keeping people safe in those environments.

Now if we can get the college students, particularly frats and sororities, to stop having parties, we might have a shot at keeping things down for a while.

I would not trust the majority of nursing home employees to wash my wheelbarrow. In some cases Puppy farms are cleaner then nursing homes!

[Neil]

Something to think about. Most hospitals do not have private rooms as their only accommodation. Same with nursing homes. We are moving in that direction for hospitals but shared rooms are a disaster waiting to happen for infectious diseases. The medical profession got this one really, really wrong. Cost being the main issue. Needs to be fixed. Sooner rather than later.

Really demands a re-thinking and re-invention of such facilities from the ground up.

Most schools can close the frat houses; schools need to get serious about safety and stop focusing on making money.

Yes, it's cost driven. A private room used to be a rarity on the floor and spoke of money although at times of a serious medical requirement. We have a serious medical requirement now; time to re-invent the hospital room.

How about the rest of the rooms for everything else? Childbirth has it's own planet, yet our mortality rates are still not what they should be....

D’towns?

[robert.]

Doylestown = D’town. The rest 2 people per room.
