Backup Presidential Candidate Andrew Cuomo: If You're Out of Money Because You're Locked Out of Your Nonessential Job, Just Take an "Essential" Job

LearnToCodeRed, Axeman says.

Yeah, I guess I might as well just go ahead and take that EMT qualification test. Should only take me an hour or so of cramming, I figure. And then, snap, I'll be on a "bus" saying "start a drip of lactated Ringers, stat!" by the end of the week.

Maybe you can get a job on New York's new Death Panels.

New York state just issued a drastic new guideline urging emergency services workers not to bother trying to revive anyone without a pulse when they get to a scene, amid an overload of coronavirus patients.

While paramedics were previously told to spend up to 20 minutes trying to revive people found in cardiac arrest, the change is "necessary during the COVID-19 response to protect the health and safety of EMS providers by limiting their exposure, conserve resources, and ensure optimal use of equipment to save the greatest number of lives,"’ according to a state Health Department memo issued last week.

First responders were outraged over the move.

"They're not giving people a second chance to live anymore," Oren Barzilay, head of the city union whose members include uniformed EMTs and paramedics, fumed of state officials.

"Our job is to bring patients back to life. This guideline takes that away from us," he said.

Let's check out Andrew Cuomo's latest display of hypercompetentce -- he's been sending sick old people back to their nursing homes to infect other elderly, at-risk people.

And he wasn't even aware he was doing that.

New York’s health commissioner on Monday defended a directive that requires nursing homes to readmit residents who've tested positive for the coronavirus -- as Gov. Andrew Cuomo revealed he didn't know the policy was in place.

Cuomo was asked about the state’s policy on admitting or readmitting to nursing homes people who'd tested positive for COVID-19.

"That’s a good question, I don't know," the governor said.

Cuomo's startling admission came days after the state revealed last week that at least 3,316 people in nursing homes and adult care facilities had died of coronavirus at their residences or in hospitals across the state.

That tally -- which officials have said is likely an undercount -- included at least 2,056 deaths in New York City.

Updated statistics released Monday afternoon increased the death toll to 3,448 as of Sunday, with 2,105 in the Big Apple.

Health Commissioner Howard Zucker, to whom Cuomo referred the question, said that under the state’s policy, "if you are positive [for coronavirus], you should be admitted back to a nursing home."

"The necessary precautions will be taken to protect the other residents there," he said during Cuomo’s daily coronavirus briefing in Albany.

Zucker was asked to explain how the policy could be justified, given how state officials have repeatedly said how quickly the virus can spread and how vulnerable nursing home residents are to COVID-19.

Wow. Andrew Cuomo sure is beating this coronavirus -- with Science.

well I knew at the start that was gonna be bullcrap mostly b/c when Trump was saying "15 days to slow the spread" Wolf was saying "STAY IN YOUR HOMES FOREVER AND NEVER LEAVE" like a psycho.

so OF COURSE the goalposts are moved and we can't leave solitary confinement until there are zero cases / zero deaths. which will be all of never.

But if they're in the hospital where their family is not allowed in. . .?

I don't know about NY, but over in the UK the NHS workers are very comfortable doing this (those sick babies whose parents they prevented from feeding, or even taking them home), probably from years of experience putting down burdensome patients.

Both the fed and the state gov'ts are to blame for this economic destruction.

Granted, they believed people in trusted positions who produced BS models, but -

they're to blame for the economic destruction and displacement.

The Fed and all state gov'ts need to take a massive haircut.

Get back to basics - schools, safe streets, sanitation, etc that people need and toss away all, that is, every single one, of their libtard desires and cut their budgets to the bone.

That means firing gov't employees..and no Cuomo and other assorted fuckheads - that doesn't mean cutting police or firemen or sanitation workers or teachers - yo0u know, the gov't that people want.


For instance, in Texas, we have godawful property taxes, those need to be cut between 30 to 50 % permanently.

For most middle and working class people that would represent a real saving and money directly in their pockets.

Then cut, 99% of the bureaucrats out of the school system to pay for it.

It's fun.. It's easy. And no gov't emp[loyees should not be exempt from the pain that everyone else is going through.

F-that.

231 Not sure about New York in particular, but usually news media type jobs and related get classified as "essential" workers. So, if you just start calling yourself a "reporter," then you're "essential" since there's no real way for the state to establish who is and isn't actually a "journalist" without running afoul of the First Amendment. Minor flaw in this plan is you might have to win a SCOTUS case to prove this point.

Are "non-essential" businesses supposed to stay shut down and we continue social distancing until everyone is vaccinated? Has anyone run the numbers on how many trillions such a plan like that wipes out?

*****
Well, I'm not a doctor or a scientist, but here is my two cents...

Absolutely, flattening the curve is just supposed to slow things down, so hospitals aren't overwhelmed.

It appears that that is happening/has happened.

So, now we have to start loosening the restrictions. Not all at once, but they do have to start loosening.

For what it is worth (not much, probably), I wonder if the country could open up almost completely IF...all people going out in public had to wear a mask. (Yes, that doesn't work for restaurants...so maybe when the waiter comes, the patrons at the table mask up, and then unmask to eat)

Would that work? Don't know. Would that be accepted by the people? Don't know. Should each state modify this to best serve their needs? Probably.

I don't think it is possible to do the shelter in place until a vaccine is developed. That will be months, if ever.

255 Instead of giving everybody money and putting us into greater financial danger because of our debt, it should have been more focused. We did the same with Obamacare. The reasoning was we had to find a way to cover the alleged 40 million involuntary uninsured . Instead they forced the other 310 million to suffer.

1. Their voters are less likely to be Christian, so they don't believe in Creationism (as much).
2. They totes believe in man made global warming climate catastrophe, and that's the scientician's position.

NY also has the highest per capita "free" healthcare system in the country. Anyone want to guess why?

Clown Cuomo is a three term governor. The absolute unpreparedness for this virus falls squarely in his lap.

But hey, Clown Cuomo likes killing residents. Provided they are defenseless and in the womb. Remember, Cuomo and his party celebrated those deaths...

Something like $3,000 per month. No income restrictions, nothing. Just send the checks out. And not just once. Every month until the quarantine is lifted.

Will a few billionaires and multimillionaires get checks they don't need? Sure. So what? We can try to claw that back in a year or two. But right now? Send the checks out.

People can pay their rent, their mortgage, ease some of the terrrible economic pain that they are suffering.

Heck, make it a $5,000 check. Go big.

Just send the checks out. ASAP.

305 Last night Shibumi and I were watching a video called "Out of the Shadows" which was about organ harvesting living people in China (mainly Falun Gong followers).

The success of this practice in China indicates that the Party has successfully undermined any moral compunctions of trained doctors in China.

The comparison now is to the present Corona Virus spreading around the globe. Some real professionals are still looking for answers and the truth.

A lot of corrupted professionals are either mouthing the Chinese propaganda line, or taking the other tack that the government has not DONE ENOUGH, and that's the reason for the spread (not plain ignorance, which explains almost everything).

But the bottom line is that China has exported more than a lot of cheap Chinese stuff. They have now exported their corrupted moral system.
Lizzy talked about the National Health service in the UK, which stops reviving after a while, the Liverpool pathway, etc.
They've adopted the same moral vacuum.

Colorado is moving into the Safer at Home phase, which is estimated to begin April 27. While we are at this level, Coloradans will no longer be ordered to stay home, but are still strongly encouraged to do so.

327 77% of the nearly 200 public colleges (every one of them a government agency) FOIAed by FIRE use a secret list of banned words to remove posts on their pages, often engaging in prohibited viewpoint discrimination.

I've commented on this before, as a former NY'er with family still there.

De Blasio does not have a serious challenger for mayor right now, even - especially - in the GOP. If this guy wanted to be mayor for another two terms, there's nothing that will stop him. You would think that the NYC media would be somewhat critical, but they aren't. You would think that the local WYNC public radio station, that has devoted reportorial resources to investigating Trump's financial misdeeds going back 30 years can at least spare some intern to look into what De Blasio's wife is doing, but no.

As long as the candidate is for abortion and redistribution of wealth from the rich to...someone else, a change is not happening anytime soon.

Cuomo has had several members of his inner circle get indicted, if not already convicted of fraud, and they are still focused on what Christie may or may not have done regarding Bridgegate.

I'm not a lawyer, but I don't think so.

One reason is they are *generally* tasked with maintaining order and the public peace. SCOTUS came up with the BS rationalization that police aren't specifically charged with protecting YOU, just "the public". So I guess as long as they generally offer some public service, they're covered, according to SCOTUS.

The phrase on the car doesn't say they're going to serve and protect individuals, so they're complying with the standard set by SCOTUS.

The most ironic thing that exists in when liberals run the Treasury department or try and establish economic policy. It's how you end up with $30 minimum wage and wonder why employers are not hiring.

So when Cuomo says "get an essential job" the training, preparation, and experience required never enter into the thinking process...because that's now how they classify vocation.

Stand-up dude. He defeated the incumbent who was all into the Soros nobody should be locked up, counselling should be the priority, and violators should only be arrested and booked for felonies. Present sheriff (street officer) said you would be transported and booked so they would be off the streets and citizens protected.
Sheriff is now a target. The county executive hired the ex-sheriff to run an oversight commission looking at law enforcement operations. Guess the executives party.

385 378 As long as the candidate is for abortion and redistribution of wealth from the rich to...someone else, a change is not happening anytime soon.

Cuomo has had several members of his inner circle get indicted, if not already convicted of fraud, and they are still focused on what Christie may or may not have done regarding Bridgegate.

NYC is a lost cause.

de Blasio won with 18% of the electorate of NYC voting.

Transient population of NYC or not, that's a pathetically small number. I have sympathy for residents of the city who voted against de Blassio, and I feel little but bemusement at the rest especially those who didn't vote.

396 Booze delivery is kinda weird all over the country.

Interstate wine delivery supposedly requires photo ID and signature on delivery, but most UPS and FedEx drivers have been waiving signatures on all but the most expensive deliveries in the last year to two. I think they're under much more timed route pressure. Waiting for signatures on all deliveries really, really slows things down. Anyways, it depends on your state laws too. Most places only deliver to state where there are tax reciprocation agreements.

Local delivery services like Instacart, Amazon, Drizly, etc., all are required by their employee phone apps to take pictures of IDs. In most cases, they have to process the barcode on the back to ensure the ID is legally valid too. They can manually enter ID number and fake the expiration date, but that really depends on the age and scruff of your delivery person.

402 379 So, can I now sue every police department in the US that has the words "To Protect and Server" on the side of their car as false advertising?

I'm not a lawyer, but I don't think so.

One reason is they are *generally* tasked with maintaining order and the public peace. SCOTUS came up with the BS rationalization that police aren't specifically charged with protecting YOU, just "the public". So I guess as long as they generally offer some public service, they're covered, according to SCOTUS.

The phrase on the car doesn't say they're going to serve and protect individuals, so they're complying with the standard set by SCOTUS.

We won't know for a while if Sweden's approach was correct or not. We know right now that the orders of many of these idiot governors are unconstitutional and excessive.
Posted by: Donna&&&&&&V at April 22, 2020 04:37 PM (HabA/)

Actually, we do know. Remember the fear was that the disease would progress exponentially, and the Health Care system would be overloaded. That has not happened in Sweden, and in fact new cases appear to be leveling off.

As long as the Health System was not overloaded, then it was absolutely the best policy to get as many people exposed as quickly as possible, thus bringing about herd immunity quickly.

Sweden has won it's bet. It's clear now.

462 re double drownings- I was WSQ in the USMC back in the day. Saving yourself was priority 1. Saving another was taught with a special technique- as I remember, it was dive beneath them and then come up behind them and put in full Nelson while lying back, supporting them on your chest. Otherwise they'd attack you attempting to save themselves.

Does it promote it, or select for it?

For example, if you're a criminal, a druggie, or a fruit, living in a small town must be difficult, since the community will quickly realize that. So such people naturally gravitate toward cities, where people in the community will not realize who/what they're dealing with nearly so readily.

I hear you. A long time ago, I used to be an EMT and lifeguard.

Now, this story is about 10 years old, and my memory isn't perfect. But at the time, I was sickened by their actions.

As I remember, this guy was standing in chest high water. Standing. Now, I get a cop wearing 30 pounds of iron and gear isn't going to want to try to to swim to rescue some possibly uncooperative swimmer.

I get it. But me? I'm just wearing my civillian clothes. Minimal risk. I can walk out their and do a rescue. But they wouldn't have let me. And this guy was just standing in the water. Not treading water. Just standing.

He went unconscious due to hypothermia, and then drowned.

This wasn't fast. It wasn't some grizzled sergeant with lots of experience pulling back some rookie from rushing in and getting himself killed in some raging river or on thin lake ice.

This was cold and calculated.

Yeah, you gotta make sure the scene is safe. But this was really...it wasn't good.

Posted by: El Jefe at April 22, 2020 04:55 PM (Ae67h)

556 466 re double drownings- I was WSQ in the USMC back in the day. Saving yourself was priority 1. Saving another was taught with a special technique- as I remember, it was dive beneath them and then come up behind them and put in full Nelson while lying back, supporting them on your chest. Otherwise they'd attack you attempting to save themselves.
Posted by: Farmer Bob at April 22, 2020 04:44 PM (87EdW)

yeah, long long ago I had a lifesaving certificate. You gotta be in good shape and know what you're doing if you're going to try and save someone from drowning, or you just make things worse. And I would always be scared of ocean if I didn't know the area - riptides can kill even very good swimmers.

Let's face it, a lot of colleges need to go the way of the passenger pigeon.

So ... how badly do you want "diversity?" How badly do you want this particular student, and the great ability he manifests? Serious question. Admitting brilliant foreign students is great. Admitting One Hung Low to score that overseas tuition is bullshit.

582 Many years ago in high school I took life saving. Back then we were taught that a drowning person could easily overpower you, which would result in 2 deaths. So we were taught to knock the person out, grab their head under the chin, and swim them to safety. Years later my grandson took life saving classes and I asked if they taught that anymore since he was taking it at the school I had taken it at. He was horrified that anything like that had ever been taught! He said now they teach you to swim out with either a board or noodle.

600 I listened to Rush Limbaugh talk about this today. He called Cuomo's presser the "I'm governor and you're not" press conference.

It's hard to believe anyone can be that tone-deaf, but Cuomo here is our proof.

Same here in Michigan. The nearby town has been working hard to become an entertainment district, starting with hometowners moving home and turning derelict buildings into theatres and shops. Someone took a gamble and opened a new hotel/restaurant right on the main strip.

They were already hit once when the ferry to/from Canada was wiped out and can't reopen. They need to get up and running again.

603 "New York state just issued a drastic new guideline urging emergency
services workers not to bother trying to revive anyone without a pulse
when they get to a scene, amid an overload of coronavirus patients. "
WHAT????
HOLY COW.......................................

I, myself, as an MD have revived pulseless people, who'd had (as example) an MI (heart attack)
and who went into a fatal arrhythmia such as ventricular fibrillation.
In many, the MI was survivable, only the electrically irritable heart tissue at the
time of MI led to the fatal arrhythmia...and that tissue healed.

In one case, a man had about 15 episodes like that IN ONE NIGHT, was shocked each time and lived to tell about it after the irritable area was surgically removed.
Damn it, any of us adults could have such an event.

They're going to let saveable people die?

That might qualify as murder.

Apologies for not being clear. I wasn't at the scene. I meant that they would have forbidden me, just as they did others who were there.

This wasn't in the ocean. It was in a bay.

The guy stood in the water for an hour until he passed out and drowned.

They watched.

Now, this was a grown man. They would have made an exception if it was a child, right?

No, they wouldn't. A reporter asked that exact question. The answer was that the policy didn't allow them to do that, because of "liability."

Cops, firemen and EMT's do God's work. They risk their lives for others.

But this wasn't a case of that.

608 416 While Sweden appears to have called it right, it's too early to know. If they do in fact get hit with a second wave, that might mean the virus mutates over time. We also don't know how long immunity from antibodies lasts - a year, 5 years, a lifetime?

Everything the experts are doing - here and in Sweden - is based on guesses and hunches modeled on, I presume, how other covid viruses have run their courses in the past. Much of what the pols are doing are simply excuses to exercise arbitrary power.

We won't know for a while if Sweden's approach was correct or not. We know right now that the orders of many of these idiot governors are unconstitutional and excessive.

Well, here in Michigan, the Whitmer Wonderland, our governor got her ass handed to her yesterday after she picked a technology company known for helping Dems and progressive nonprofits to handle tracking the Xin Flu cases. And she's getting sued for unilaterally appropriating funds, suspending statutes enacted by the legislature, and basically overreaching her "emergency powers."

I think the worm is turning on her. It's just a shame that she's not up for election.

611 Well in that situation, unless you had a long lasso to toss around the guy and reel him in, how was the rescuer supposed to save him, if he didn't want to be saved? I wouldn't want to get into a fistfight with a loony in chest high water.

I wouldn't either. It is an understandable concern. And yes, fools rush in where angels fear to tread.

But they just stood there on the beach for an hour and waited until he died.

They didn't war game it among themselves, and consider all sorts of options.

They didn't consider getting rope from a store, or making a human chain, or even just approaching him to a safe distance to try to talk to him, to ascertain his mental condition.

They just did nothing. Stayed on the shore and watched.

612 Wait, family members are not allowed to visit relatives in nursing homes because they *might* expose the residents to Wuhan Flu, but it totally okay to return resdents who test positive?

617 RE: Andrew Cuomo et al.

And these dipshits run things.

I'd like to blame just the dipshits for their incompetence and, equally, their hostility towards those they consider inferior, but they aren't getting to these positions on their own. A lot of support dipshits keep voting them into power.

I keep noticing a lot more irreconcilable differences in authority these days, more so than I had hoped. I'm also sensing a growing disturbance in the force.

622 Im still waiting for my relief money...But im saving lives....I just
lost my job for the company just went belly up....But Im saving
lives...My mortgage company just called and told me yesterday that im
lapsing and to prepare to move from the home for my mortgage is not
being paid....But Im saving lives....I will be checking food banks to
see if I can get a bag of food but I cant use my car cause I have no
fuel money...But Im saving lives...There is a shelter open but its full
and I might have to pitch a tent somewhere safe at night or live in my
car with my children...But Im saving lives...CDC just called and warned
me about my children yesterday because I wont be able to feed them and
cloth them soon .....But Im saving lives...My family is in the same
spot I am ....But we are saving lives.... Im afraid if I have a heart
attack they wont resuscitate me because in New York the new rule is to
let them die...But Im saving lives..
Now you tell me Americans when
this will end?.......It wont..Not until they take out our beloved
president who is actually trying to save lives but everything he says
they reject and will take this fake virus epidemic yes epidemic...for
its no where near the totals of a true pandemic...Could it be the UN is
involved in taking down a president who doesnt play by their rules?
Could it be Feinstein of California who was clearly sleeping with China
like so many of the liberals like Joe Biden and friends in congress be
apart of this fake pandemic that only kills compromised health issues in
the elderly...Are we ready to sacrifice all the hard work we did for so
many years to have it all taken away at the end to JUST SAVE LIVES..Why
do I have to throw my life away to save lives? Why are judges making
laws and not the legislature like our constitution says..TO SAVE LIVES?
ARE WE GOING TO THROW AWAY ALL OUR FREEDOM TO SAVE LIVES? WTFU AMERICA
THE WOLF IS IN THE HEN HOUSE!!! Has anyone ever heard of the word
immunity before? This is how you fight a Virus.
