WHITE HOUSE AND REPUBLICANS HAVE TO REJECT BAILING OUT THE STATES.
THE KUHNS REPORT
LAS VEGAS - Hello America, and how is the world treating you?
Well, Congress passed the second Payroll Protection Plan for Small Businesses across America. Hooray! But now Speaker Pelosi, and the do nothing Democrats want all of us taxpayers across the nation to BAIL OUT poorly and incompetently run liberal Democratic states on still another stimulus bill.
Many of these liberal states like Illinois, California, And New York have run their states in to the ground by pandering to private sector unions, public employee unions, and teachers unions by always increasing their wages, benefits, and retirement pensions , all the while knowing that the state didn't have the money in their budgets to do so. These states have pension debts to these unions in the BILLIONS OF DOLLARS. Now they want you and me to pay off these debts so they can start over from scratch and continue to pay these unions, both public and private, more in benefits where they left off. What a CROCK!
These liberal Governors and politicians mismanaged their states budget for decades, racking up debt on debt for future generations to pay off. Just look at California, right now. The Governor is taking COVID-19 stimulus money from the federal government and had committed to pay ILLEGAL ALIENS the money that is intended for United States citizens. This one example shows you how incompetent these liberal Governor's are. In a crisis in AMERICA, they still intend to cater and push their open border agenda, operate sanctuary cities and states and take care of illegal alien's over American citizens. Believe me, these liberal Governor's will not change. They will accept everything the Federal Government gives them (OUR TAX MONEY) , which you and I are on the hook for and they will continue to bite the hand that feeds them..
Folks, if you and I, and every average John and Jane Doe has to live within their means and BUDGET, it is not unusual to expect our state representatives and lawmakers to DO THE SAME. They should pay reasonable salaries to Public Sector employees and union members, not over the top salaries, pensions and benefits.They should be expected to live within their state budget like you and I do each and every day. If we do not have the money to pay for something, we have to do without. It should not to hard for cities, counties, and states to know how much money they have coming in each and every month, just like you and I do. And it should not be hard for the cities, counties and states to know what expenses they have and what monies they have in the bank to pay those expenses. Hell, you and I do it on a daily basis. But when the Governors play politics and want to garner votes for themselves and their party, they have no problem of burdening us, the taxpayer to pay for their incompetence. These Governors, lawmakers and politicians have no problem whatsoever about spending other peoples money. It is easy to spend someone else's money, and they are spending your money, and my money, on these frivolous projects.
Now the Governors are using the COVID-19 crisis to scam more money from our tax money and the federal government. They shut down all businesses in their states, play politics, restrict peoples movement, pass unreasonable rules, regulations and policies and give lip service to those businesses that want to reopen. They are aware that many businesses are are the brink of bankruptcy. They do know many of these businesses cannot continue to hold on by a thread. But these do nothing Governors continue to extend their lock downs and insist we taxpayers BAIL THEM OUT for their mismanagement of the state. I suggest they go BANKRUPT. Why should they be any different that you or I, or a business that has to file for bankruptcy. If they cannot manage their own budgets, and pay for all state services by living within the budget from our taxes , then let them file for bankruptcy and begin all over again by restructuring the state budget.
It's a known fact that every state has a RAINY DAY FUND. Every individual usually has money set aside for emergencies or unexpected events. States are no different. Every month or every year these states should have been contributing to their rainy day fund. BUT guess what? They didn't do that. Now each state, mostly liberal states want you and I to pay up. Each state is requesting BILLIONS OF DOLLARS to pay off their debts. That's wrong.
This upcoming stimulus bill SHOULD NOT BAIL OUT ANY STATE. The Governors are responsible for the mismanagement of their state. They put themselves in this debt hole on their own, with their eyes wide open. I suggest that instead of a a bailout the states are offered the opportunity of applying for a loan. Let these states borrow the money and have the requirement to PAY IT BACK to the federal government. Under no circumstances should we the taxpayer be on the hook and have the federal treasury dole out BILLIONS OF DOLLARS to each state. A loan is okay, a bailout is not. And, that's my opinion. I suggest you look at and consider the circumstances, and come to your own conclusions. You decide.

INCOMPETENT CONGRESS PEOPLE HAVE TO RETURN TO WASHINGTON-SHOW UP FOR WORK=NOW.
THE KUHNS REPORT
LAS VEGAS - Hello America, and how is the world treating you?
Well, another much needed stimulus bill is being held hostage by Nancy Pelosi and the radical Democratic party. Instead of providing the much needed funds for the small business community across the nation Pelosi and her ilk is staying home, eating ice cream, and relaxing in their million dollar digs.
People, these Congress people are not WORKING. They are not in Washington, in their office or in halls of Congress. Instead, they are COLLECTING a paycheck. However, when you are not working and are not in your place of business, doing your job, guess what? YOU DON'T GET A PAYCHECK. The Congress peoples attitude toward you is, tough nuggies!! They are thumbing their nose at us. That's what these Congress people think about the rest of us out here in the real world.We have no job to go to, no office to report to. and most of all NO PAYCHECK. I say the first order of business is to have Congress people cease collecting a paycheck when they DO NOT show up for work. When they return to work, then and only then, do they begin collecting a paycheck again.
Congress should implement into law and mandate that when the Congress does not report to work, in their office or the halls of Congress, they forfeit their paychecks with the exception of sick or maternity leave. Folks, these very rich, arrogant, self-entitled elites have to feel a degree of the same pain that the average John and Jane Doe is experiencing during these times of crisis.
If other occupations can show up to work to earn the paycheck they are being paid, So can Congress people. I submit that it is a cop out when these Congress people say they are staying home from work. Hell, Postal Workers show up for work, Fed Ex, UPS, grocery store employees, restaurant people, Fire, Police, Health Care professionals, construction people, Uber and Lyft, grub hub people and many other occupations are out there everyday interacting with the general public on daily basis.
All of these people and business establishments are practicing good hygiene and social distancing, and guess what? Business is conducted and goes forward, as usual. SO, I say, Why isn't Congress WORKING? They certainly can return to their office by themselves and/or with limited staff to conduct business by tele- and -video conference,, even in person . They can social distance in the halls of Congress, they can wear masks in Congress. They can separate by six feet when sitting in groups in meeting rooms and chambers. It appears they just refuse to do this and refuse to continue with the business of governing. However, these same Congress people who have trouble showing up at their office to do the country's business have no trouble at all getting a lot of face time on the television shows, pod casts, and video chats with the media. It's a a rip off what these lawmakers are doing, while still collecting a paycheck.
I suggest that the Republican Party IMMEDIATELY report to work in their offices and halls of Congress and proceed with the business of the nation and vote on bills and I would think that then, and only then, Nancy Pelosi and the Democratic Party will be shamed into showing up for work.
Small business and the rest of the country need this bill to move forward and this lame-brained do nothing Congress has to return to Washington and DO THEIR JOB.
President Trump and his White House and administration officials show up each and every day and they are working. WHERE IS THE MISSING CONGRESS NO SHOWS? Get with the program Congress. Show up NOW, Not in May. DO YOUR JOB. Show up in your office, BE TESTED, WEAR YOUR MASK, and SOCIAL DISTANCE. Get on with the business at hand for the people of the United States. - And, that's my opinion. I suggest you look at the situation and come to your own conclusion. You decide.

VOTE THESE BUM GOVERNOR'S OUT OF OFFICE. OR, RECALL THE IDIOTS.
THE KUHNS REPORT
LAS VEGAS - Hello America, and how is the world treating you?
Well folks, President Trump and the task force set out a very clear blueprint for the United States to open up again.But some of the liberal Governors in many states are resisting out of "spite and hate" for Trump. For example, the Governors of Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Virginia are just a few states who are totally resistant to President Trumps recommendations. Instead of easing up on the restrictions they already had in place these Governors added additional draconian, stupid, unwarranted prohibitions for the citizens of their states and the Michigan Governor threatened to impose even more if the protesters did not stop protesting.
I only hope that every citizen in these two states and the other states run by liberal Democratic Governors that imposed even more heavy restrictions on their people after they had the green light from the feds to begin opening up VOTE these BUMS out if office, or even start recall petitions against these power hungry idiots. My question is: Why do the residents of these states continue to vote these incompetents into office? Why not try to vote for another party to see if there is in fact, change, progress, prosperity. What the hell do the residents if these states have to lose.
People, there is no rhyme or reason for some of the restrictions these Governor's placed on their residents. It is only for the Governor's own ego's, political ambitions to higher office in their party and party agenda. That's wrong.
And you can bet the farm, and your last dollar that Governor Cuomo , (NY), will intentionally drag his feet and delay any opening just to get back at President Trump and the Republication party. How will he do that? He said he made a regional agreement with surrounding states as to what to shut down in unison so residents of New York would not cross state lines to visit restaurants, bars, etc., and enjoy the economy in those surrounding states. So now , since he keeps griping and complaining that it's to soon for him to even begin to open up, he will take the lead role in saying that since he cannot open up New York, the Governor's in the surrounding states cannot open up either. Result, Cuomo will lead the resistance of a number of East Coast states into trying to embarrass and malign Trump's blueprint to bring back the economy.
Remember, these Governor's and their families are not missing a meal. They will always have full bellies. They don't have a small business and have to worry about if they can survive day to day. These Governor's will always have their toilet paper, hand sanitizer, food on the table and continue receiving a paycheck.. They didn't lose their job. So, folks, they have no worries whatsoever. They are being paid and fed and taken care of by the taxpayers of their state.
I would suggest and urge the residents of these states to stage peaceful protests, write letters, send tweets, emails, and get on social media to call out these Governors , by name to everyone else in the country.
Final word, again: WAKE UP PEOPLE AND VOTE THESE BUMS OUT OF OFFICE. Shown them who's boss. They work for you. - And, that's my opinion. I suggest you look at the situation and come to your own conclusions. You decide.

CONGRESS HAS TO INDIVIDUALLY VOTE "YES" OR "NO" ON THIS STIMULUS BILL.
THE KUHNS REPORT
LAS VEGAS - Hello America, and how is the world treating you?
Well Folks, the do nothing Congress is arguing over still another stimulus package.. Again the Democrats are stalling a d tying the bill up with a wish list that has nothing to do with the coronavirus. That's a shame. If the Republican bow to their demands again, Shame on them. The Republicans shoud hold ground and insist that any and all monies go only to CORONAVIRUS needs, Period!
And, like a previous blog I have to mention again that this wimpy , no backbone Congress signaled that they will only use a voice vote when they vote for this package. That is wrong people. We citizens of this country have an absolute right to know how each and every Congress person votes for an important bill such as this. The Congress copped out on the last stimulus bill vote so they could cover their tracks as to how they stood on the issue, so they decided to use a voice vote wherein the loudest group sound decided the vote.
Personally, I want to see how each and every Congressperson goes on record with their individual vote. Last stimulus they told us that they didn't want to congregate in the halls of Congress for fear of contacting the virus. That's fair. But they neglected to tell the people of this country that they could have registered their individual vote by teleconference calls, video podcasts, remote broadcasts, skype, telephone and even BY MAIL IN vote, sealed in a certified envelope.
This low rated Congress really has numerous ways to register their individual vote as to a clear "Yes" or "No", on the record, so we citizens can actually see or hear them register their vote.
As an example, just look at all of these lawmakers who are currently going on the numerous television shows every day during this coronavirus situation. They certainly have no trouble espousing their views just to get plenty of face time on the tube from their home now. So I suggest that they use these same forums and mediums to cast their vote where we, citizens of the USA can watch and listen to a "yes" or "no", up or down vote from each Congress person. There is no real reason for these Congress people no to cast their individual vote where we, across the country can observe them doing so. Christ, can you imagine the ratings for the media outlets and networks. They would be over the top.
We as citizens should insist on an up or down vote with a definitive "yes" or "no" from each Congress person. - And, that's my opinion. I suggest you look at the situation and come to your own conclusions. You decide.

FECKLESS, INCOMPETENT CONGRESS, SCAMMED US ON STIMULUS VOTE.
THE KUHNS REPORT
LAS VEGAS - Hello America, and how is the world treating you?
A couple of days ago the Congress just passed the $2 TRILLION DOLLAR stimulus package to combat the caronavirus pandemic. Great, the country needed that. But I really have a concern and problem with HOW IT WAS PASSED. I believe that this Congress shred a part of our Constitution of the United States. Why I think that? They denied the citizens of this country and the media to a transparent and full disclosure regarding Congressional action.
The cowards and spineless Congress people denied us of an "ON THE RECORD VOTE" as to where each of them stood regarding this important stimulus package, the largest in the history of the nation. Folks, these wimpy do nothing Congress men and women could have clearly went on the record with their "on the record vote" to indicate where they stand. But they took a very easy way out with the excuse of not wanting to congregate in Washington because of the caronavirus. That people, IS A COP OUT on their part. So they only shouted out a "voice vote"where the loudest voice vote passes or fails. WHAT A CROCK.
I submit that these feckless lawmakers could have traveled to Washington D.C. and instead of meeting in Senate Chambers as a large group could have self-sheltered in their OWN capitol office and voted, individually one at a time. How? By Skype, or by video, (like telehealth medicine does) at this time. That is an innovative way to get a message out.
The media could have covered each Congress person as they signified their vote (yes or no) from each Congress persons mouth, in their own office while televising the results to the people of this nation as each person cast their vote. For those Congress people who was already on quarantine in their homes it would have been very easy for them to go on record with their vote in the same manner. Folks, it would have been an easy procedure to do this with the media and communications expertise we have in this country.
The media and television networks do this on a daily basis with lawmakers each and every day. We viewers across the country see it put into place quite frequently wherein the TV host conducts an interview or gets a statement by Skype, tele-video, etc. It is common practice for media to set up remote broadcasts, even via telephone.
I suggest these Democrats and Republicans wanted to take the EASY WAY OUT so they got together in the backrooms and the halls of Congress, possibly by phone and decided they were going to snooker the citizens of this great country and pull the wool over our eyes to save face by NOT GOING ON THE RECORD to let us know how each of them personally vote for the package.
These are the same Congress men and women that allow truckers, grocery store clerks , restaurant people, food delivery people, law enforcement and the medical health personnel travel out in the open and know every citizen goes out in public to buy groceries in these dire circumstances EVERY DAY. But IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR THEM? WOW!!!
This Congress people's wimpy act of cowardliness committed what I believe to be abdicating their responsibility and duties during this crisis and fled Washington for their time off from Congress, shortchanging the nation.
They will be out for WEEKS now. These greedy self-centered, do nothing Congress people who make a whopping $174,000.00 a year, and have the best medical plan on the globe (that the average citizen will never see, and that we, the taxpayer is paying for)in order to cover their healthcare needs are worried about sitting in their own private office or residence to carry out the governments business and perform their solemn duty? What a joke! People across the country who are working in large corporations, companies and small business, and average Jane and John Doe are conducting business from home but these entitled elite circus clowns in Congress can't, won't or refuse to do it? That's wrong people. We have to hold these lawmakers accountable for their actions ,or lack thereof.
What is wrong with this picture? One Congressman recently went on television and said that if he comes down with the caronavirus that Congress has the best health care available to them. What does that tell you people? It speaks volumes.
I further submit that these Congress people COULD have and SHOULD have went on the record with their vote regarding this important stimulus. I say hold these incompetents accountable at the ballot box this November. - And, that's my opinion. I suggest you consider the situation and form your own conclusions. You decide.

PRESIIDENT TRUMP SHOULD NOT HAVE CAVED IN TO CUOMO AND ADVISORS.
THE KUHNS REPORT
LAS VEGAS - Hello America, and how is the world treating you?
In a previous blog report, I wrote that the President along with the Governor's of each and every state should have taken steps to close state borders to one another in order to limit the spread of the deadly coronavirus. It was a no-brainer for any prudent person to put that policy in effect.
Now, I notice that yesterday March 29, 2020, President Trump indicated that he was considering restricting New Yorkers, New Jersey and Connecticut residents to their own states by restricting travel to other states. I was glad to hear that. I had hoped that someone in the Administration heard my suggestion. BUT, I soon became very disappointed when I heard later that evening that President Trump backed off of his multi-state quarantine and put in place a "travel advisory" instead. WOW! Once again, like in past actions the President caved to pressure and politics.
After a call with the whining, bitching, complaining and demanding New York Governor Cuomo, President Trump backed off, and caved. I think that decision was a big mistake. He should have stuck to his first decision.
It appears that the President has the predisposition to allow close people and advisor's around him to sway his opinion for political gains.The president has the tendency to waffle back and forth on many issues and is persuaded to alter his decisions, which I think he should push back on.
President Trump has great insight and his ideas and policies should be put into effect as he sees them, not as people with vested interests sees them.
Another fault I see in President Trump which currently hurts him and his agenda is his "telegraphing" to the press and media his ideas and possible decisions days in advance of initializing them. That in itself is just offering red meat for the press and media to begin to pound and denigrate the possible decisions.
It is a known fact that 99% of the media have a negative opinion of the President and they are just looking for anything they can use to bludgeon the President every chance they can get. And by giving the media and press and the Democratic Party a heads up on what he is thinking of doing, or going to do, allows them a great amount of lead time to gear up their spin machine to present controversial arguments of his upcoming decisions.
I remember when the President was campaigning and running for the office he was asked a number of times by the media if he would give a timeline and date of of when he would withdraw troops from a war zone. He responded with what I think was a correct response saying, he would not announce when troops would be withdrawn from the field of battle in Afghanistan, etc., because that would allow the enemy to ride out the time until the date of withdrawal and then regroup once we leave. I suggest that was the correct tack to take and the president should adhere to that same policy when he is making critical decisions for the nation.
I say he should not have announced and telegraphed his plans to quarantine New Yorker's from leaving the state to the press and media. He should have held that decision close to the vest and then JUST DO IT, without fanfare and a heads up. I submit that once the decision is made and done and put in place the Governor's would have to live with that decision and adjust accordingly. So, my suggestion to the President would be: Mr. President, PLEASE, do not broadcast in advance your possible decisions in advance, especially during this coronavirus pandemic. MAKE YOUR DECISION AND ACT. PEROID!
I further submit that by just putting a travel advisory on New York and other states will NOT be effective because people are people. They are going to ignore it because of their fears and they WILL leave the states who are scheduled for quarantine. Just look at how the people across the country ignored recommendations not to hoard and over buy groceries and household items. The greedy hoarders walked over senior citizens and others to raid the shelves of toilet paper, hand sanitizers, pasta, bread and many other food items.
I also cite the health care professionals who are looking out only for themselves. There have been numerous reports of doctors hoarding the promising medications that could be used against this coronavirus. It appears they order and take these meds home for themselves and their families. So, the point is: People are people. Whether a doctor or nurse, or a grocery clerk or everyday grocery shopper. There is that BAD low percentage of people that do take advantage.
So to expect people from New York, New Jersey and Connecticut to respect a travel advisory ON THEIR OWN is just spitting in the wind. Christ, people have been fleeing New York City for Florida and other states for weeks now. Many of those people from New York carried the coronavirus to those other states which in turn began infecting residents of those other states. Florida is a glaring example of the coronavirus spread because of the infected people from New York entering that state.
I still maintain that each Governor of each and every state have to mobilize the National Guard and State Troopers to check license plates, drivers license and identification of anyone trying to enter or exit each state at roads and border crossing, take their temperature and then on entering the other state, that state should require and insure that those travelers REMAIN in self quarantine for AT LEAST 14 days. There is a reason for borders, whether it be a Country, State, County or City. Look at many of the cities across the country now.They insist that we residents stay in "our own little borders" of our houses or apartments. So, why shouldn't the Administration restrict travel by issuing an edict to stay within your own state --Maybe for at least ONE MONTH. - And, that's my opinion. I suggest you look at the situation, draw your own conclusions. You decide.

THE KUHNS REPORT
LAS VEGAS - Hello America, and how is the world treating you?
In a previous blog report, I wrote that the President along with the Governor's of each and every state should have taken steps to close state borders to one another in order to limit the spread of the deadly coronavirus. It was a no-brainer for any prudent person to put that policy in effect.
Now, I notice that yesterday March 29, 2020, President Trump indicated that he was considering restricting New Yorkers, New Jersey and Connecticut residents to their own states by restricting travel to other states. I was glad to hear that. I had hoped that someone in the Administration heard my suggestion. BUT, I soon became very disappointed when I heard later that evening that President Trump backed off of his multi-state quarantine and put in place a "travel advisory" instead. WOW! Once again, like in past actions the President caved to pressure and politics.
After a call with the whining, bitching, complaining and demanding New York Governor Cuomo, President Trump backed off, and caved. I think that decision was a big mistake. He should have stuck to his first decision.
It appears that the President has the predisposition to allow close people and advisor's around him to sway his opinion for political gains.The president has the tendency to waffle back and forth on many issues and is persuaded to alter his decisions, which I think he should push back on.
President Trump has great insight and his ideas and policies should be put into effect as he sees them, not as people with vested interests sees them.
Another fault I see in President Trump which currently hurts him and his agenda is his "telegraphing" to the press and media his ideas and possible decisions days in advance of initializing them. That in itself is just offering red meat for the press and media to begin to pound and denigrate the possible decisions.
It is a known fact that 99% of the media have a negative opinion of the President and they are just looking for anything they can use to bludgeon the President every chance they can get. And by giving the media and press and the Democratic Party a heads up on what he is thinking of doing, or going to do, allows them a great amount of lead time to gear up their spin machine to present controversial arguments of his upcoming decisions.
I remember when the President was campaigning and running for the office he was asked a number of times by the media if he would give a timeline and date of of when he would withdraw troops from a war zone. He responded with what I think was a correct response saying, he would not announce when troops would be withdrawn from the field of battle in Afghanistan, etc., because that would allow the enemy to ride out the time until the date of withdrawal and then regroup once we leave. I suggest that was the correct tack to take and the president should adhere to that same policy when he is making critical decisions for the nation.
I say he should not have announced and telegraphed his plans to quarantine New Yorker's from leaving the state to the press and media. He should have held that decision close to the vest and then JUST DO IT, without fanfare and a heads up. I submit that once the decision is made and done and put in place the Governor's would have to live with that decision and adjust accordingly. So, my suggestion to the President would be: Mr. President, PLEASE, do not broadcast in advance your possible decisions in advance, especially during this coronavirus pandemic. MAKE YOUR DECISION AND ACT. PEROID!
I further submit that by just putting a travel advisory on New York and other states will NOT be effective because people are people. They are going to ignore it because of their fears and they WILL leave the states who are scheduled for quarantine. Just look at how the people across the country ignored recommendations not to hoard and over buy groceries and household items. The greedy hoarders walked over senior citizens and others to raid the shelves of toilet paper, hand sanitizers, pasta, bread and many other food items.
I also cite the health care professionals who are looking out only for themselves. There have been numerous reports of doctors hoarding the promising medications that could be used against this coronavirus. It appears they order and take these meds home for themselves and their families. So, the point is: People are people. Whether a doctor or nurse, or a grocery clerk or everyday grocery shopper. There is that BAD low percentage of people that do take advantage.
So to expect people from New York, New Jersey and Connecticut to respect a travel advisory ON THEIR OWN is just spitting in the wind. Christ, people have been fleeing New York City for Florida and other states for weeks now. Many of those people from New York carried the coronavirus to those other states which in turn began infecting residents of those other states. Florida is a glaring example of the coronavirus spread because of the infected people from New York entering that state.
I still maintain that each Governor of each and every state have to mobilize the National Guard and State Troopers to check license plates, drivers license and identification of anyone trying to enter or exit each state at roads and border crossing, take their temperature and then on entering the other state, that state should require and insure that those travelers REMAIN in self quarantine for AT LEAST 14 days. There is a reason for borders, whether it be a Country, State, County or City. Look at many of the cities across the country now.They insist that we residents stay in "our own little borders" of our houses or apartments. So, why shouldn't the Administration restrict travel by issuing an edict to stay within your own state --Maybe for at least ONE MONTH. - And, that's my opinion. I suggest you look at the situation, draw your own conclusions. You decide.

STATE GOVERNOR'S, PRESIDENT FAILED ON COVID-19.-STATE BORDERS SHOULD BE CLOSED.
THE KUHNS REPORT
LAS VEGAS - Hello America, and how is the world treating you?
Folks, Governors of the various states are falling down on the job when it come to containing the coronavirus. WHY? Because they failed to lock down travel in and out of their particular state.
For example, Gov. Andrew Cuomo of New York, is a day late and a dollar short. I have always suggested that from the first day of discovery of the corona virus in New York, the Governor should have immediately mobilized New York State Troopers and the National Guard and closed all entry and exit points in the state. When he closed down all bars, restaurants and non essential business in the state, he correctly touched bases with Governors from surrounding states to do the same so New Yorker's could not in to their states to eat and congregate. That was a great move. But he should have also restricted travel from NY into the state an had an agreement with surrounding states Governor's to do the same. The sad consequence of his failing to prohibit New Yorker's to travel out of the state was a BIG, BIG, mistake. Large numbers of INFECTED New Yorker's fled the state and traveled to Florida, also to the Carolina's and elsewhere across the country.They introduced the coronavirus to people in those states and those states began to experience the pandemic. If Governor Cuomo would have had the surrounding states Governor's also mobilize their State Troopers and National Guard to prevent entry and exit to and from their state, they could have put a quick stop to the spread of the corona virus.
These state Governors still have time if they would take state entry and exit action in and out of their states. So far, because of Governor Cuomo's lack of leadership, "the horse has already left the barn" or "the cat is already out of the bag," whatever and however you want to refer to the situation. BUT, at least if they start now, they will reduce the spread. Have State Trooper's and National Guard check ID's of people trying to enter and leave their state and keep each resident within their own state.
Take a page out of the book from Europe. They have open borders where people travel from country to country. And looked what happened. Example: People crossed from Germany, France, and the UK into Italy and vice versa and look at Europe now. Italy is one of the most serious hot spots in the world. Now, look at China. They locked down and restricted travel from the hot spot city of Wuhan where the virus started but kept the rest of China's cities open and rates of infection decreases dramatically.
I suggest that the Governor's of each state immediately mandate and forbid residents within their state from leaving the state for at least thirty (30) days. Mobilize the State Trooper's and National Guard, station them at entry and exit roads in and out of their state, check ID's of people trying to enter and exit their state and insure that the person is a resident of that particular state. I also suggest that if the Governor's fail to take this important step, then, President Trump should do it.
Folks, as another example, look at Idaho and the states of Virgina. Those were states that did not have even one coronavirus case for weeks. They were among the last states to report a coronavirus case. and I submit they could have remained virus free for a lot longer IF and infected person did not travel into their state. Another example: Residents of the vastly infected state of California fled the state for Nevada and Arizona to visit friends and relatives and brought the COVID-19 virus into those states.
People, NEW YORK CITY is the WUHAN, CHINA of America. I submit that if Governor Cuomo would have acted swiftly and enacted entry and exit restrictions for residents of the state from the "get go" and modeled China's reaction to the pandemic and locked down his state, other states would have been protected from the outbreak. The Governor should have taken a page out of President Trump's playbook when he took the bold step to immediately forbid and lock down entry to the U.S. and travel from China at the onset of this terrible disease.
However, it is not too late. I suggest we close down the hot bed states IMMEDIATELY. The states of Washington, California New York, and New Jersey should be shut to entry and exit and have everyone in those states swabbed, monitored and tracked to resolve the infection. Those states can act as a template as to how to get a handle on all the other states that have outbreaks. I know the "cat is already out of the bag" because of New York's failing to grasp the severity and seriousness of the situation from the beginning but now, the Governors of each state across the country have got to step up and mobilize their own state for their residents protection. - And, that is my opinion. I suggest you look at the situation and come to your own conclusions. You decide.
