Yet New York City Mayor Bill DeBlasio gets a free pass.

For the vast majority of New Yorkers, life is going on pretty normally right now. And we want to encourage that...if you're under 50, and you're healthy - which is most New Yorkers - there's very little threat here. This disease, even if you were to get it, basically acts like a common cold, or flu. And transmission is not that easy - I think there's been a mis-perception...

So blame Trump for things he did in late January and all of February, but give DeBlasio a free pass for what he said above on MARCH 10. Oh, that's right, I almost forgot - he's a Democrat, so he's exempt from criticism. Blame Trump instead.



Since you say Trump has blood in his hands, in your opinion, does Mayor Billy have blood on his hands as well? His city is the epicenter. And he not only advised, but "encouraged" his people a mere 3 weeks ago to basically live life like normal because Cornoavirus poses very little threat.

Cuomo is also getting a free pass. Hospitals are under the control of the State, NOT the federal government. The Cuomo Administration, through The Division of Hospitals and Diagnostic and Treatment Centers controls the amount of beds, ICU's and yes, even the amount of ventilators.

I don't think Cuomo should be expected to have a crystal ball, but, I think it is very unfair for him and the press to blame Trump for not solving a problem that Cuomo is ultimately responsible for because the Federal Government is not soving the problem quickly enough.
