And exactly how did NY do with COVID? Pretty aweful by all accounts. Including putting people with COVID into nursing homes. I don't think COVID was a respector of state governments.
That someone would distort the facts like you have is astounding. But not unexpected from a leftist. When you look at the states you will see there is no respector of governments with the numbers. Democrats have done no better that Republicans at stopping this.
We don't blame the Democrats for this spread. Why are you blaming the Republicans? It's nonsense.
Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) in the U.S.
Did you mean "awesome"? There's no such word as "aweful" - the word for "full of awe" would be "awesome", not "aweful" or "awe-full".
But yes NY did a pretty awesome job, leading the way in dealing correctly with the coronavirus.
When you look at the states you see NY continuing to decrease in cases, hospitalizations, and deaths.
New York’s coronavirus progress continues, with few deaths, sinking infection rates: Cuomo
Cuomo did an incredible job fending for himself and his state, gaining the partnership of his surrounding states' governors in a unified front against the spread of the virus. He managed resources effectively, pulled teeth with the federal government to get the to do their bare minimum of what they are responsible for, worked around the federal government's shortcomings, and brought his state along with others to a better place today.
Meanwhile, the Republican governors scoffed and laughed about the virus, said they entrusted people to be on an "honor system" and do what they individually thought was right. They opened up bars, beaches, restaurants, stores, etc. with few to no restrictions and now they are experiencing crises TODAY, running out of resources as critical as ICU beds, and NOW they are trying to backpedal and impose restrictions they laughed at months ago.
That someone would distort the facts like you have is astounding. But not unexpected from a reactionary. The numbers clearly show that states which took necessary measures are experiencing a drop in all cases, hospitalizations, and deaths while the states that did little to nothing (almost all being red states) are now reaping what they sowed with crisis-level spikes in all numbers.
It's very clear that the blame lies with Republican leadership in those states that are now panicking about their predicament like the grasshopper did when winter arrived.
The worst thing about this for the Republicans is that they have no excuses because their states had the relative luxury of seeing NY, NJ, CT, and other states get blindsided by this as the first states to be impacted the hardest (since we are one of a couple gateways from the world into the US). They got to watch how Cuomo and Murphy handled this with nothing to go on but science and data that was ever-changing and developing. They had a model to follow. And with all that, they rejected wisdom and a proven system in favor of braggadocio, arrogance, politically-motivated platitudes about 'freedoms' and the like.
How can you not blame the Republican leadership for failing where Democrative leadership had already succeeded working with less? It's nonsense.
