Cuomo calls for creation of national coronavirus 'Heroes Compensation Fund'

By Greg Norman | Fox News

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo called on the federal government to set up a “COVID-19 Heroes Compensation Fund” to assist those who have been battling coronavirus on the front lines — similar to what was done after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.

The fund, he said on Friday, would support health care workers and other essential staff who have contracted the coronavirus themselves and their families.

“After 9/11, Congress created a Victims Compensation Fund. I’ve been working with our congressional delegation — we think the federal government should set up a Heroes Compensation Fund to compensate our health care and other frontline workers for what they did here,” Cuomo said. “Saying 'thanks' is nice, actually providing assistance is even better.”

You need to find the money somewhere.

Maybe Mikey B could have put the money he spent running for president on something philanthropic like this.

Would have been a much better use of money.

Now, that's just because you aren't in the business of making ads and selling airtime that you would say such a thing...(I'm not either, but I don't begrudge people making a living).

Seriously, I agree with you about how much good could have been done with the money, (as he could, even now--he has more), but the folks in the ad industry might take umbrage.
