A couple of days ago, I was listening to Andrew Cuomo, Governor of New York State ,and he said something I thought was very interesting:
People are confusing surges with waves. Waves are spikes in cases due to a mutation of the virus. If the virus has not mutated it is not a wave but a surge. Surges are spikes in cases due to other influences such as weather or the end of a lockdown.
Anyway, thought I'd throw that out there as I thought it was very interesting.

Interesting's right. Isn't he the same Andrew Cuomo who ordered the sending of people infected with the coronavirus into nursing homes with all those elderly people, triggering thousands of deaths?
Wouldn't be paying much attention to what he says.

What a surprise.

If the virus is allowed to run rampant it will rapidly mutate.

Only waiting for what will happen has been the false option chosen for one year now and of course still is now even more.

I agree totally. It is certainly par for the course that I never heard CNN criticize present New York Governor Andrew Cuomo for sending the infected people with coronavirus to nursing homes and subsequent deaths of elderly people. Does anyone think that Cuomo’s brother, Chris Cuomo, an anchor at CNN, has anything to do with this? Of course he certainly does. By the way, former New York Governor Mario Cuomo was their father. Isn’t it interesting that the liberal Democrats often rail against so called “white privilege”, yet say nothing about the “white privilege” of the Democratic Cuomos? A double standard? It can’t be.

Cuomo is not the only one to have done that. Pennsylvania Health Secretary Levine did the same, and then got his own mother out of the home. And Levine has now been chosen by Biden to be assistant secretary of health!
