Fandango has a Sunday challenge called Who Won the Week?
My vote goes to Andrew Cuomo, governor of New York. He has been a tireless advocate for the people of his state suffering or dying from the coronavirus. He has asked for test kits, personal protective equipment, masks, ventilators, and medical personnel, and keeps us updated on what’s happening in New York, which has by far the most cases of Covid-19 in the U.S. He has coordinated the building of makeshift hospitals and has welcomed the hospital ship that arrived last week in New York harbor – but alas! It is not taking Covid-19 patients! So it has been nearly empty.
Cuomo has suggested that the supplies mentioned above should go to the area of most need, and then shared with other places as the need arises. He has not been afraid to stand up to Trump. He has held daily press briefings in which he has spoken with conviction, firmness and intelligence; he is well informed and he doesn’t b.s. – he tells the truth of what is happening. The contrast of this intelligent, hard-working man with our supposed “leader” in chief, could not be sharper.
Cuomo has shown us the stark contrast between an effective executive who is honest, levels with people, and tells it like it is versus one who lies and deflects and diverts and is totally inept.
Agreed, he’s been doing a great job. We prefer to watch his daily conferences to the president’s…the latter is infuriating and it’s a waste of our time to listen to him.
