I am so happy to see the curve flattening in NY.. they have had the greatest burden of cases

so far.. and let me reiterate that.. so far.

The Trumpians are going to try and use the flattening of the curve to pull back and set the rest of the United States at greater risk

We have no idea who has it.. there is no testing.. it is flairing back up in areas in China that they thought they had it under control.

Remember, that the hell that started in NY started with one case

I love how Cuomo has been such a leader..but keep in mind he is talking about NY.. not the United States. We need testing.. testing .. testing..

We need this idiot in the White House. to use mass testing to find out who has it and who doesn't and we need to do it across the United States and not just NY

He wants to open this all the back up asap with zero testing for 3 reasons -
1 - political reasons, bad economy hurts him
2 - ensure CV19 hits again hard in the fall to disrupt the elections to as great an extent as possible
3- kill more working class and poor - especially in blue states

of the general population to find out if there are carriers, how long it takes to get symptoms and some never get symptoms and just spread it. To many unknown and we need data to find out.

But we weren't allowed to know that.
