Gov. Andrew Cuomo gives updates on coronavirus pandemic in New York | USA TODAY

Gov. Andrew Cuomo provides updates at his daily briefing on the coronavirus pandemic in New York.

Monday's U.S. death toll was 1,509, down 48 from the previous day. The toll peaked Friday at more than 2,000, according to Johns Hopkins University data. Recent declines in hospitalizations and other COVID-19 issues have prompted governors in six Northeast states and three Western states to form their own groups to begin talks toward rolling back stay-at-home orders.

Governor Andrew Cuomo is being honest, candid and purposeful. Whether he's a candidate for the white house or not, let's leave it to the future. He stands up for the average New Yorker in these terrific times and that itself is sufficient to qualify him as a Statesman ...

USA has done a very good job at keeping the mortality rate as low as it is. Well done everyone that overcomes their own anxiety in order to serve others.

Your kindness and understanding of what is really going on. Thank you so much for letting the people understand just what is going on and for us to continue to stay in this together. People people listen to what is being said by you and not tweets by some you don't seem to love the kindness and not the economy of the federal gov.

Cuomo for president! And im from (and still in) OHIO. I knew nothing of this man. Nada. But he has been awesome in speaking to the people and action FOR his people. Our Governor here in ohio has done a great job as well. He just isnt quite as good a speaker as president Cuomo, i mean governor Cuomo! And look, i couldnt tell you if he is democrat or Republican, left or right. All i know is i find listening to him very informative, and it seems i agree with mostly everything he says. Lets get a hashtag going!! #Cuomo4president #allday #beatsourotheropitions

[greeneclean]
