So much heat but not much light. You seem to equate the vast majority of peaceful protests as riots. If they contributed to an increase in positive cases, then why did NYC’s cases continue to decrease afterward, where the largest protests occurred? ?
Cuomo never said it was a mistake to follow the law and Trump’s CDC guidelines for nursing homes. Just last week Trump responded to 140,000 dead by saying, “it is what it is”.
When Trump followed the airlines lead and stopped flights from China, he still allowed 40,000 people in. He was called racist for targeting Asians with his rhetoric and giving his sycophants license to attack Asian Americans. His slow action to stop flights from Europe was too little too late, which allowed the virus to come to NYC. I don’t know if Trump’s racist or just uses it as a dog whistle, but racists sure do like him.
The bottom line is NYS is recovering thanks to Cuomo putting science over politics, while the southern resisters to science are continuing to get worse, in large part because they listened to Trump.
