They've allowed science to dictate their course every step of the way. Strict lockdown, social distancing, tracing, phased reopening, this is what the entire medical community has advised since day one.

Everything has gotten so stupid in this country that it's amazing to see an administration that does not play politics during a global pandemic. It's that simple.

Our whole nation could have NY's numbers if we had had the clear-sighted, non-political leadership Gov Andrew Cuomo has provided for his great state.
