Responding to President Trump’s unfounded claim that 99% of coronavirus scenarios are “thoroughly harmless,” New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo criticized him for “enabling the virus.”
“What he’s stating to the American folks is that there is no dilemma. And then they do not have on a mask, and they really don’t socially length, and hey really do not take any precautionary behavior and then the virus goes like this,” Cuomo said. “He is facilitating the virus. He is enabling the virus by [making] statements like that. And you’re seeing the infection rate go up and you’re seeing the economy suffer.”
“He is portion of that current debacle that we are in,” he extra.
The governor cited President Trump’s many prior promises about the Covid-19 that have been confirmed wrong and his refusal to put on a mask to say that the President desires to “deny the Covid virus.”
“He will not use a mask. Vice President Pence states, ‘wear a mask.’ All the wellbeing officials say, ‘wear the mask.’ He will not put on a mask since he doesn’t want to admit that there is a Covid virus. Why? I have no thought,” Cuomo added.
Cuomo added that the way to combat coronavirus is by first admitting that there is a issue.
“You will in no way solve a problem in daily life that you refuse to admit. Why he refuses to confess it I have no notion. You have a White House coronavirus job power. Why have a process power if there’s no problem?”
