'Flattering'

New admissions dropping like a rock

Cuomo shouldn't have closed all those hospitals and slashed the NY med budget.

My daughter (7) is having a heart attack. Milk is her life. They should be donating that milk to food pantries and lower income communities.

Good God wtf

Please Andrew Cuomo ! Can you do something about this and make an exception to this current situation?

NEW: 4,758 people in New York have died from coronavirus, up from 4,159 yesterday, Gov. Andrew Cuomo says.

DONATE IT, make cheese, make yogurt... what theeeeee actual fuck?

Make more cheese

Surely they could have it collected for the poor.

Send that entire supply to my house. I'll drink it and share with all my neighbors. Send cookies too, please. Thanks.

If this is true in large scale it’s unconscionable . I don’t trust ABC , it could be one or two farmers making a statement. If not it’s 100% waste .it could be converted to other animal feed .dried milk or many other things. I expect it’s pandering to the Alarmist left by ABC.

Disgusting. They abuse cows and then dump the milk. What is the matter with humans?

Why would they dump milk away. The stores are empty with milk. We need all we can get.

Such a HUGE WASTE!!! Could they not have given that milk away?!?! Every little bit helps!!!

They can't donate this to food banks or shelters? Wtf!

Grew up on a farm. This is sad. Many farmers barely get by normally. This will put them out of business. But many won't care since they can't see it from their little world.

Yeah, I’m not buying this either.....

Now let the cows go. So sad what they do to them on these factory farms.

Not bravery stupids

Utter BS

Why isn't this milk being dehydrated to powdered milk for preparedness? realDonaldTrump Please stop this madness! There is a shortage of protein across the World. Make powdered milk and send this to children in need!

GrassrootsJill It should be illegal. Excess should be required to be donated, in times of crisis.

😩🤬

Hey Einstein...this isn't new The scam dairy farmers unions do this all the time when they don't get the price they want. Investigate the food waste caused by these scam agriculture groups

GrassrootsJill And in my stores there is virtually never milk.

Bottle it up and give to those in need!

This breaks my heart to see...

Out here in Colorado...home deliveries from the farm are going crazy with huge demand. So sorry to see this ...😰

Couldn’t have sent some out the country?Or for free to women with children in need?This makes absolutely NO sense seeing something like this with the US homeless and starving rates which must be HIGHER not lower w the pandemic in place rn! I’m truly baffled.Who approved this bs?!

Dump it. We will be healthier for it.

Make cheese and ice cream please!!!

All these states taking all these extreme measures are all going to say how Trump forced them to do it, when it’s revealed this whole thing was blown way out of proportion in most areas. Remember, there is still an election. Politics never end.

Seriously...that couldn't have been donated?

This is terrible 🙁

This is so sad! So many ideas of what could, can be done. However dumping was the only solution used.

They could have made butter and yorgart out of it. What a waste.

I don't understand. They could have just given it to the poor or donated it somewhere if it's still good to be consumed. That way it won't be much of a waste. It's like throwing money down the drain. In times like this, we should learn how to conserve and share.

So utterly stupid. Sure it would normally go to other producers who package it differently (single serve cartons, larger jugs for restaurants, etc) but ppl would buy those if they were on grocery shelves. Right now the shelves are empty. Put restaurant supplies on grocery shelves

😔 😡😔

When a icecream scoop is $5 you'll know why

Because Donating it to Company's that would normally buy it with the request to sell it at cost (30 cents) or zero wouldn't have worked. 😕

BOYCOTT ANY ORGANIZATION THAT IS WASTING FOOD AT THIS TIME. BUY FROM THOSE BEING CHARITABLE WITH LEFTOVERS!!! THIS IS SIN TO DEPRIVE THE HUNGRY OF FOOD SO BADLY NEEDED!

sad....can the milk be shipped overseas

Crazy thought.....radical, really. Donate.

NO ship it some where else for cheese

So glad all those calves went without milk or were killed so we can dump their milk. 🤯🤯😱🤯🤯

It’s not their responsibility to feed you.

😢

What? Couldn't that be delivered to homeless shelters? orphanages? HOSPITALS?

Painful yooh

that reminds me - the fed govt has millions if not billions of pounds of powered milk in warehouses which usually get sent oversees - why hasn't that been pushed out to help the unemployed, it's already paid for and whse cost continues as long as it is stored . . .

How about just stop milking cows. It's about as horrible an industry as we've got. What, with forcing cows to become pregant then, taking the calf from her to inseminate her all over again.

There has got to be a better solution than this.

Patriots go out and buy dairy products to save our farmers !

You can freeze it for later and then maybe give it to shelters as donation?

Please watch this video of a dairy farmer explaining why some dairy farms have to dump milk.

Can they donate some of it?

And I’m out of milk and cereal and afraid to go get more

Rather dump it than send it to the poor

It sucks for them but really.! And u couldn't have done anything else with the milk!

Tell that to my local grocery store, 6 days now, zero gallons of milk. Please bring some this way.

Smart! Better than giving it out for free.

Shameful. They could have donated it

Debieron donarlo, al banco de alimentos

why aren't they donating or selling to cheese mfg? milk can be used to produce powdered milk, cheese soup, etc. to feed unemployed as the depression worsens . . .

For the replies. Capitalism 101: They can not just give it away. This would lower the price of milk. That’s bad for dairy business. In the same way that oil companies cut production in order to raise prices. Anyway, capitalism.

When are you going to report?

James Cai was given chloroquine, Ka­­letra and put on high-flow oxygen. Hydroxychloroquine (Plaquenil) is derived from chloroquine (Aralen). I find it troubling how they wasted so much time before giving the guy the drugs. NY Times get to the point.

Cheese

That's lazy, there are milk cooperatives bottling it that can't keep up with demand. But I guess the price wouldn't be high enough for them... lazy.

Give it to the poor

Wisconsin's primary to go forward Tuesday even as coronavirus all but shutters the U.S.Wisconsin’s Republican-led legislature refused to delay Tuesday's primary election, formally rejecting a call from the state's Democratic governor to halt in-person voting amid the coronavirus pandemic Even in times of crisis, the GOP effort to suppress voting continues. Shameful. May each member of the WIGOPSenate feel the full effects of COVID personally and individually as they put millions of those in Wisconsin in harms way. CAN'T win without voter suppression, GOP.

'Crappy' tests to check for past coronavirus infection are flooding the US, lab association saysThe Trump's administration's regulatory changes have made it easier for companies to flood the US market with 'crappy' coronavirus immunity tests, according to the CEO of the Association of Public Health Laboratories. It's difficult to satisfy all humans by one decision. Less regulations is better for both : the producer and consumer. The liberal tyranny is unbelievable. CNN wants people to die because of outdated regulations! More fake news. I don't understand how people actually believe anything you print anymore. The military guy at the press conference addressed this. We have reps go to the actual factories in China and test the product before shipping.
