It astounds me that people say that Cuomo is fucking up. He’s pretty much the only politician that sees this as the existential threat that it is. Like everybody else in America, his response is too little, too late but at least it’s something. Not his fault that people are still handwaving this as a nothingburger.
And he knows Trump is sticking it to him because he didn’t win New York in the election and that it’s a state run by Democrats. Of course, Cuomo could probably respond by using eminent domain on Trump Tower and turning it into an improvised hospital.

If you think he’s not doing enough to combat an existential crisis, how can it astound you that people think he’s fucking it up??

That was actually what the first vaccine was, being inoculated with cowpox to protect against smallpox. No reason to do that here though.

A dubious conclusion, as it looks like he’s examining tests performed and not theoretical testing capacity. Tests performed is also a function of suspected cases.

My town (Manhattan Beach CA) has closed the beach, the bike path near the beach, the parks, banned Gatherings of more than two people who don’t live in the same house, and mandated people are 6 ft apart in public ( I assume that doesn’t apply to people who live in the same house) all punishable with up to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine.

Dick move.
We are not doing this, if that’ll help you sleep tonight. Rather than kick people out, the rich, evil deplorable who owns the company sent this blast out to all tenants back on the 13th:
If you contract coronavirus (COVID-19) or the FLU, please let us know so we have our staff avoid the building during your recovery. In an effort to preserve the health and safety of our tenants and staff, we are making every effort to finish the bulk of our leasing this month before the outbreak is widespread.
If your lease is coming due and we have not talked to you we ask the following: If you know your plans for next year, please either execute your lease renewal or give notice so we can lease the unit. This limits the times we will have to enter your unit during an outbreak keeping you and our staff safer.
Please contact us with any questions. We hope that we all get through this as a community.
Since then we set up a Dropbox file request server and asked vacating tenants to film cell phone video tours of their units for us to send to prospects in lieu of in-person showings. The response has been rather positive.
Sorry to disappoint.
Edit: We have a few dozen healthcare workers in our units, given the proximity to Columbia St. Mary’s Hospital of many of our duplexes, so it wasn’t for lack of opportunity!
Just talked to a friend (my college professor) whose husband is a surgeon in Philly (colorectal surgeon I believe). He said the PPE shortage is so bad that he has had to use the same face mask for a week.
Is there any way to help? I feel so bad that the healthcare workers are at such increased risk, but I feel helpless to do anything.

So no rent relief for tenants, still expecting them to commit to another year or GTFO in the middle of a pandemic, and limiting the number of times you’ll show the apartment to strangers, but only if the tenant has both the technology and the inclination to market the apartment for you digitally.
You guys are fucking saints, really.

I actually like having Inso here because it just shows how fundamentally broken conservative lizard brains are. Want to know why Trump won? Because 60 million people could read Inso’s posts and think “This guy makes good points.”

Nothing in that email suggests they won’t boot tenants who fall behind in rent due to the pandemic. Also, I’m increasingly confused as to what it is you actually do.
