Leaked audio of Governor Andrew Cuomo admitting that the new COVID lockdowns in New York are simply a “fear-based response.”

There is nothing wrong with this conversation between Cuomo and a commissioner and it is possible this was a meeting with several officials as Cuomo asked the commissioner if he had something to say.  This indicates a meeting, not a one on one phone conversation.

Certainly, the NY people are fearful of another covid outbreak - they lost so many people every day for a long time.  It would be strange if they were not fearful of it happening again.

Does this mean we’re no longer to “follow the science”?

There is everything wrong with a Governor trampling a Constitution (he took an oath to uphold and defend) with the entrails of dead Covid victims which he helped kill.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

Your defense of Cuomo is duly noted.

Ironic that Cuomo mentions "fear".... since the elderly in New York should damned well feel fear....

at the fact that Cuomo still has power over them (over 6,000 dead thanks to Cuomo's ""decisions"").

Sounds like a possible violation of NY's Open Meetings laws. Did he publish an Agenda for this little pow-wow?

No.  It means follow the science; if the science says more people are dying, that area where the deaths are occurring will shut down and if it is the whole city of New York, it goes on shutdown.

The science says that the overwhelming majority of new SARS-2 cases are people wearing masks.  Should New York follow the science and order people not to wear masks?

No, you're not reading between the lines.   When they say "follow the science"... they really mean do whatever will harm Trump's re-election chances the most.   They couldn't care LESS about causing more deaths (it's good for their cause and campaign against Trump)... and "the science" keeps changing daily.

@Victoria33

If it was a meeting, then it was scheduled.  I watched almost every meeting he had throughout the NY shutdown.  People talk about nursing home deaths, but when this started, nursing home patients were in the hospital and when they got better, they were sent home to the nursing home they came from.  That was the only home they had.  This was before it was known how contagious it was even though the patients were better.

Once that was known, nursing home patients were kept in the hospital until they tested negative two times.

I do not care who is a Republican or Democrat Mayor or Governor when such an illness is here.  I will not dump on Cuomo just because he is a Democrat, or praise our Abbott, just because he is a Republican Governor.  Abbott screwed up, too, by opening Texas too early.

That's funny/odd.... since... you never seem to have a problem dumping on Trump.   Curious.

Lest anyone has "forgotten".... the actual order that Cuomo signed off on... that resulted in the deaths of thousands of elderly in nursing homes.  Note, specifically, the underlined part.

I'm still stunned and amazed that she thinks Comey is a "honest man".   And now a defense of Cuomo.

Ahmazing.

there is a lot wrong with it. Mainly that Fredo's brother forced Covid + patients into nursing homes resulting in over 6,000 deaths that might not have happened. add to that in 2016 HE is responsible for auctioning off and replacing the Ventilators that were part of the emergency reserve, set after 9/11  by Bush in case of a pandemic. Vents cost about $300 per year to maintain. He is also for not replenishing the stockpile of n95 masks etc... after the swine flu epidemic. Instead he pissed the money away on another failed Solar project. So yeah there is alot wrong and he needs to answer for his crimes.

I think you've mixed together Cuomo-Failings and dBlah-Blah Failings, but details, details, details.

Cuomo completely failed to act on the recommendation of the State of NY's health task force that the state accumulate up to 15,000 ventilators:

https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/national-international/new-york-modeled-a-pandemic-and-found-a-15000-ventilator-shortfall-2/2331057/

https://www.health.ny.gov/regulations/task_force/reports_publications/docs/ventilator_guidelines.pdf?fbclid=IwAR1B70DidltlJL70fKc-qzOgSI6V0rfvq4yOo0KnhHMXCYjhTdf7cnxMKZg

Under de Blah-Blah, the several hundred ventilators bought under Mayor Bloomberg were auctioned off:

https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/491651-new-york-city-auctioned-off-extra-ventilators-due-to-cost-of-maintenance

https://www.propublica.org/article/how-new-york-city-emergency-ventilator-stockpile-ended-up-on-the-auction-block

That is part of the context in which Cuomo's demand for 30K ventilators should be understood.

https://nypost.com/2020/03/27/coronavirus-in-ny-cuomo-defends-need-for-30k-ventilators-after-trump-called-it-overblown/

In the event, the Feds helped the State of NY locate ventilators around the state that the state didn't fully know were already there, and as actual need arose gave the State of NY and additional 4,400 ventilators (IIRC). 4,400, not 30,000.

https://www.nationalreview.com/2020/04/coronavirus-response-ventilators-trump-administration-handled-potential-shortage-deftly/
If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

I research for the truth - I don't care who is a Democrat or Republican.  You know very well I have researched Trumpery's behavior since he was a small child and seen Trumpery's behavior during his campaigns and while in office.  I believe he has certain personality disorders and should not be president.  If he was a Democrat, I would say the same thing.  I don't swear allegiance to Republicans no matter what they do.  I don't swear allegiance to Democrats no matter what they do.

You know I worked for the State Republican Party for many years, for no pay.  I am a Republican but will not promote a man (Trumpery) I consider mentally unfit for the presidency.

I know you believe every word of books like the one Comey wrote, even after it's discovered every word was a lie, including the words "and" and "the."  You've mentioned reading many books about Donald Trump, so how many of them were of the caliber of Comey's?  How many defended Trump?

(I, too, work many hours for the Republican Party, and yes, for no pay.)

What you're calling "personality disorders"..... are probably the very characteristics that have enabled Trump to stand up to and withstand the ongoing/constant four year assault on him (and his family, and his staff, etc.) by the radical leftist Democrats.   I have to question, therefore, your so-called "professional ability" to diagnose anybody.   

Again, funny that you seem to think Comey is honest and upstanding... when he is a known liar and political hack.   And then you defend Cuomo... yet another liar and political hack.  Both DemocRats, of course.   Then you try to claim you're apolitical re: your criticism?  Lol!   Sorry, but... your perspective is skewed as hell.

Meh. Seems it is not such a problem when it is Biden, or any number of Democrats whose character is divined on this board all the time. Goose/gander and all.

And while I am not as adamant as @Victoria33 's diagnosis, I can certainly see where she is coming from.
