  1. Smart move with keeping the kids camps closed for now thanks again gov Andrew Cuomo for giving us the facts God bless you and God bless America

    1. Cuomo is a doofus. He got the elderly killed by the virus. And he has used police to brutalize people of color for the last decade.

    2. Again gov Andrew Cuomo well spoken you couldn’t have explained everything today again with the facts thanks again for all your time and effort keep up the good work and you look tired get some sleep and drink some orange juice does the body good and helps keep infection down

  2. Stay smart NY! Where I live we had no cases for two weeks in our Health Authority and yesterday we had one. The virus is opportunistic. Be smart, be safe and be kind.

    1. New York smart and rough and loving trying to save the kids they’re the next generation

    2. A few cases were reported on the radio here in Michigan yesterday.
      But restuarants are *still* opening up regardless! 😞
      People are more stubborn than the pack mules getting popcorn in movie theater in order to watch the entire “Avengers” film series sans interruption!
      Truth! 🧐

  3. Protest like what have been going on are spreading this everywhere 🙅🏼‍♀️🙅🏻‍♀️🙅🏾‍♀️

  4. We must stop it, we must stop thinking about the past, we must stop victimizing ourselves, we must do the right thing. Stay home, social distance and keep the peace.

  5. Andrew Cuomo is good governor, Thanks for keeping the school closed. God will protect you from covid19. Thank you for all you’ve done.

  6. That piece of white paper reminds me. A few years ago and a few months after guessing about animal intelligence I put a piece of paper and a biro in the shed with the words on, ‘What is the capital of Serbia?’ I knew a squirrel could write the answer correctly if it wanted to but although the animals have helped in numerous ways they have not intervened that much with me. Why don’t the parrots say that the diseases are fake? I don’t know, but I don’t think the animals think I shouldn’t tell people.

  7. So there’s kind of a problem with this idea – it presupposes that concessions are going to be made and agreed upon which may not be the case. If you have people calling for the demands of Chaz say that do not give an inch then at 9 months the police lose their funding for not agreeing on a reformed system. This sounds like a recipe to allow for basically no funding?

    It gives literally all power to what could be a small fringe group of rather extreme holdouts that may or may not represent the majority of people. Hopefully this is workable for NY but there’s a very clear loophole where those with less power here, depending on the process exactly, have a way to simply not agree and receive no funding.

    Interesting idea to avoid accountability I suppose but this could be iffy for sure. I would be interested in the specifics of the process and parties involved because again this is an easy way for a group that wants to dismantle the police to enter agreements with no intention to to work out an actual solution and thus receive no funding. It sounds like other funding is effected too but this was vaguely addressed.

  8. Cuomo still defends policy of filling nursing homes with coronavirus patients

    Trump never gave orders to install infected elderly into healthy nursing homes. Coumos is spreading Gossip like he relatives.
