That wasn’t so hard, all he had to do was reverse his decision to send people with the virus to nursing homes.

The charts look like the stock market.

Whether or not u guys like him like I dont like him but we can all agree it's great that it is going down

[johnreynolds]

Independent investigator into nursing home deaths??

[greg]

Everyone is staying home. No one is getting hit by buses and cabs that they can call corona deaths. New York needs more bodies and they are looking for volunteers

[bananaduck]

People always find negative in positive

[zerocool]

Send the protesters to the front lines

[dirtnbloodnotherkids]

that's cuz everyones left the city. Manhattan is a ghost town

[BasedBrooklyn]

theyre finally running out of ways to cook the stats

[abbynormal]

They're increasing testing exponentially and the new cases are up "a tick". That means the infection rate is down. The guy is a con man. Or he is incompetent. you decide.

If you had sent my sick elderly parents to a covid infected nursing home I’d be a filing negligent homicide lawsuit.

This is good news, eight? Not to snowflakes that want the country to stay closed because "Orange man bad."

[thegermanicus]

Because they stopped using ventilators.

[thingsfishing]

Not forcing COVID positive patients back into nursing homes probably helped.

[TwentyFour]

and what about when he forced nursing homes to take covid patiets? no mention of that?

How are these numbers going down if more ppl have been going out? 🤔

[williampennjr.]

More people die and are disabled in car accidents but we dont ban driving.
Nobody can tell me why. We have seat belt laws, speed limits, laws against drunk driving and traffic signs for decades but people still get seriosly injured but we dont ban driving, so why are we keeping people from going to work? because the need to get around outways the risk. Hypocrisy.

Isolation is incubation. Get into the SON shine!! Truth and light is the great disinfected from the propaganda. Hallelujah

[juanitatreadwell]

Pretty scary if it is down because infected people are leaving New York and going to other states. Millions in New York could be leaving and infecting many regions of this country.

The hospitals are empty. We flattened the curve Big Time. Let us OUT
