We really need these sane and intelligent voices during this nightmare since we're getting nothing on a federal level except for hot air and incitement. It's been up to the governors for a very long time and they're obviously not all on the same page. I'm fortunate that I have Governor Cuomo who's emerged as a national voice and we're all lucky to have him.
That said, thanks and welcome to DU!

Every time I see this, I grit my teeth in anger at the panel's smug reaction. Elitism in the media? Oh Yes!
Jeez, almost forgot: Thanks for the greeting!

(204,807 posts)4. Yup! He warned us! Excellent reminder of who was on the right page...
And nobody there took him seriously. Who's laughing now?? It started out badly and everytime you think it can't possibly get worse (abandoning our allies, ignoring a global pandemic, etc., etc.), Trump manages to surpass even himself...
