      The former head of the CDC told the New York Times up to 80 percent of the deaths in New York could have been averted if Andrew Cuomo and Bill de Blasio reacted sooner to COVID-19. Over 8,000 are now dead. Liberals cling to the fantasy it's all Trump's fault.

      Trump failed to respond. But in January and February, it was clear coronavirus would hit NY. Cuomo and de Blasio could have instituted full lockdowns by early March when first cases appeared. Meanwhile, Washington State and California moved more quickly and saved many lives.

          I mean TBF, following federal guidance, which is what they were doing, isn’t really an effective defense for the president. But go for it bro.

          Actually it does. Almost half the US problem now is at Cuomo's hand, because he chose to pander to NYSE & NASDAQ rather than do his job. It's a class problem https://bit.ly/2QQoLQi  & it's time that was recognized
