Listening to Gov Cuomo warms my heart

I know its been said before, but he is showing true leadership.

Right now he is talking about connecting to your family in this difficult time. He's talking about taking a walk with his daughter and dog and how much he appreciates that. He's encouraging us to use this time to do the things we have been putting off, that we enjoy such as painting the house, reading that book, journaling, etc. What a wonderful message so we are not focused on the virus and what its doing all the time. It seems like such simple suggestions, but to hear that from a politician is refreshing. He knows that people are suffering emotionally and he wants to uplift people's spirits.

So different from what we are hearing from orange buffoon who only thinks about himself and how mean people are being to him.

there is one. He is so genuine, and cares about the citizens of NY and beyond. The, donny doubt, show not at all, as he has nothing to say. Unless it's I caused this, therefore I am responsible.

I watch Gov. Cuomo every chance I get. His leadership, professionalism, and compassion are a lifeline in these scary and uncertain times. He tells the truth, as far as I can see, and if he doesn't know something he defers to the experts he has assembled. He's not afraid to say, "I don't know".

I don't know of anyone else that has spent the sheer amount of time he has to inform the public at every step of the way like he has. It helps, because information and understanding strike at the very heart of ignorance and fear. It's comforting.

He's got one heckuva hard row to hoe, and I believe he has certainly risen to the occasion.
