Governor Cuomo diminishes the deaths of 73 people as good news

NY Daily News

Gov. Cuomo said it’s time to “supercharge” the economy as New York emerges from the coronavirus pandemic.

Hours after ringing the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange Tuesday morning, welcoming traders back to the floor since it closed two months ago, the governor turned his attention to the state’s economic future.

“We want that economy to come roaring back and that’s not going to happen just by wishing it to be so," Cuomo said. “I don’t believe the economy just bounces back. I believe it bounces back, but it bounces back differently."

The governor will travel to Washington Wednesday to meet with President Trump to talk about infrastructure projects and other ways to jump start the economy.

Another 73 New Yorkers died Monday from COVID-19, the governor said.

“Number of lives lost, 73, that’s the lowest it’s been since this all started,” he said. “In this absurd new reality, that is good news."

New confirmed coronavirus cases dropped to just about 200, also at the lowest level since early March.

“Memorial Day is going to be a point where we don’t all run back to the beach, but we’re going to turn the page on COVID-19,” Cuomo said. “And we’re going to start focusing on reopening and how we reopen and how smart we are in reopening."

Fuck the new normal and fuck you governor.

Governor Cuomo proposes isolation based education system to be run by Prinicipal Bill Gates

 

NY Post

Remote learning could replace the practice of a teacher standing in front of a classroom instructing students in the post-coronavirus area, Gov. Andrew Cuomo suggested Tuesday.

Cuomo dropped the bombshell while announcing a partnership with the Gates Foundation to “reimagine” education in the post-COVID era.

“One of the areas we can really learn from is education because the old model of our education system where everyone sits in a classroom is not going to work in the new normal,” the governor said at a press briefing Tuesday at his Manhattan office.


“And you do that all across the city, all across the state, all these buildings, all these physical classrooms,” he said. “Why? With all the technology you have?”

“When we do reopen our schools let’s reimagine them for the future, and to do that we are collaborating with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and exploring smart, innovative education alternatives using all the new technology we have at our disposal.”

What's this "the new normal" shit he keeps bringing up? Obviously to justify then implement privatization of all government departments and services while maintaining a climate and culture of fear and a stranglehold on power. This is dangerous.
