'Be afraid of Covid': New York governor Cuomo blasts Trump over coronavirus 'denial'

New York governor Andrew Cuomo has denounced Donald Trump over remarks he made telling Americans 'to get out there' and not fear Covid-19. Cuomo attacked Trump's comments as 'just more denial' after the president returned from the White House following a three-night stay at the Walter Reed national military medical center. 'Don't be afraid of Covid? No. Be afraid of Covid. It can kill you. Don't be cavalier.'

"Quarantine is when you restrict the movement of sick people.
Tyranny is when you restrict the movement of healthy people.
Stupidity is when you can’t tell the difference."

As the very truthful and enlightened George Carlin once said.... "All these people are part of a big club, and YOU ain't in it!!".... Truth Never needs

You certainly had to worry about it if you lived in a New York nursing home.

On a positive note, nobody has died of old age since March(!)

This was the man that moved thousands of elderly back into care homes. He is the last person who should be calling Trump out.

They're revealing themselves before our very eyes.

THE FACT HE SAYS "EVERYBODY BE AFRAID!!" Say's it all really, doesn't it.

You don’t need to look at Trump, just look at the stats ; it will tell you that you don’t need to be afraid.

Especially when they send you back to your nursing home

I'm no Trump-supporter but instinctively I tend to side with the guy who says "don't be afraid" over the one who says "be afraid".

Constant fear is no way to live a life.

Trump echoes F.D.R. in an inspirational & uplifting message of hope. Cuomo yells "fire" in a crowded theatre, telling panicked citizens, "We're all gonna die!" while locking Grandma in a cage with infected lions.

Keep being afraid, people. They need you too be scared.

Oh my this is really scraping the barrel putting that psycopath on...then again it is the Guardian...

[mattmatt]

Now this guy could be described as a “murderer” after his policy of sending the infected to care homes....

[wrexshunt]

Didn't this fella put covid patients in old folk homes. Bad guy right here

[richardadams]

this guy has " 20 years ago i buried people in vegas" vibes

Guardian. Do you look at your comments and wonder, are you siding with the bad guys?

[shkurtekrasnici]

I would be afraid if I was in his state.

[coolvideos]

I didnt think the Guardian liked letting people have there own opinions? Or perhaps someone forgot to turn off the comments again.
