That is such bullshit and you know it. Trump gave Cuomo so many masks, tests, and beds, that they went unused. They have now dismantled the Javitz center and sent the Mercy ship away, and neither was used. They are so oversupplied with ventilators that they are sending them to foreign countries now. You are a liar and the mainstream media is full of liars. Trump gave Cuomo everything he wanted and the fact is that New York is a shithole because Cuomo has been governor since 2011 and he has done a terrible job. In other states, they didn't have any of those issues. Hell, even Governor Newsome in California did a much better job, although he's now turning into totalitarian, like most Democrats. You need to wake up. The people you are backing will take all of our freedom. They won't stop until we look like Communist China. ------- Professor: Economic Impact of Lockdown Will Cause More Deaths than Coronavirus 7 May, 2020 “A bad economy will hurt and kill people in the future.” Alexi Rosenfeld/Getty Images Peter Nilsson, a professor of internal medicine and epidemiology at Lund University, warns that the economic devastation caused by lockdowns will cause more deaths than the coronavirus itself. Nilsson was commenting on Sweden’s approach to coronavirus, which unlike virtually every other western country in the world didn’t impose a lockdown to fight COVID-19. The tactic appears to have worked, with Sweden’s ‘R’ rate of infection being roughly the same as the UK’s, a country which did impose a lockdown. The country also now has much more widespread herd immunity and didn’t sacrifice its economy, meaning deaths from poverty will be reduced. Opining that he thinks this will “prove to be a good strategy in the long run,” Professor Nilsson said the approach had succeeded in preventing a spike in unemployment. “It’s so important to understand that the deaths of COVID-19 will be far less than the deaths caused by societal lockdown when the economy is ruined,” said Nilsson. “Why? Because of unemployment and all the social problems with it. A bad economy will hurt and kill people in the future.” Mikael Rostila, professor at the Department of Public Health Sciences at the Stockholm University, echoed Nilsson’s sentiments in arguing that Sweden is now in a much better position than other countries. “Sweden could reach heard immunity earlier than other countries which means that the spread of the virus and the number of deaths will decrease since a majority of the population will be immune,” said Rostila. “Other countries that start to reopen now may experience a second wave of the virus. So it might be that they have just postponed a severe outbreak.” As we previously highlighted, a data analyst consortium in South Africa found that the economic consequences of the country’s lockdown will lead to 29 times more people dying than the coronavirus itself.

DEMENTIA JOE IS LESS POPULAR THAN TRUMP. EVEN LESS POPULAR THAN CROOKED HILLARY. The Morning Briefing: The One Poll Stat That Has Biden People Sweating By Stephen Kruiser, May 07, 2020 pjmedia.com A new Civiqs/Daily Kos poll released on Wednesday found that 55 percent of Americans view Trump as “unfavorable,” while 43 percent view him as favorable, giving Trump a negative 12 percent approval rating. In the same poll, however, 56 percent of Americans view Joe Biden unfavorably, while only 34 percent view him favorably, giving the Democrat a negative 22 percent approval rating. This is astonishing, not just because Biden is more unpopular than Trump by about 10 percentage points, but because he is also far more unpopular than Hillary Clinton was at this point in 2016, according to the Huffington Post’s survey of polls.
