In New York, emergency rooms are overcrowded and refrigerated trucks house dead bodies in the street. In California, thousands of hospital beds are sitting empty and the state recently lent 500 ventilators to harder-hit states.

KerwinWilliams1 When Covid first started in our state, we had the WORST WEATHER OF the WINTER. No one WANTED to go outside, this had nothing to do with our Gov. Also, we are much more spread out than NY. Comparing apples/oranges.

Bravo to California for their readiness for this pandemic. I’m assuming it is lessons learned from the past.

Complete and utter bunk. California had it back in December/January. It came and went before lockdown.

The warmer weather makes a difference.

The president of anything is RESPONSIBLE-Period. You cannot hold that office otherwise. You may occupy it and Tweet all day BUT your not A PRESIDENT-not in ANY management class or text. You can fake it all you want but truth is not on your side—nothing new!

Californians are healthy

Yet Cuomo is some kind of super hero, but not Newsom? New York is a disaster virus zone. Newsom has done a much better job for California!

oh... OKAY...

Starts wth this guy.

They don’t ‘do’ public transportation.

Fresh air and sunshine for all! Even open the windows a crack in senior homes and hospital rooms. Maybe even bring some patients outside on nice days.

I think im done 4 awhile. Im satisfied 4 the content that i recorded.theyll never get 2 read it unless they come here & they can Its public newspaper and twitter is p7blic & i know that my mom has access to my name on here so she gives info to the grandpas daughter its accessible

too early to say

Is population density and use of public transportation a factor in explaining this?

Cars

Better management

Oh vey! Population density. You can’t walk, take public transport, or get up an elevator to your apartment without another person within 3 feet of you.

Hogwash!

Mine is the only name written in the book of life from my family. Watch out for the killer kelloggs over there yonder. I will never forgive them for what they did to me. I was just a kid growing up and didnt expect the family to pull a betrayal that affected all relationships i

New york has too many apartments using the same elevators and hallways. The virus stay in the air longer than we know.

Why dosen't someone from the Trump White House clan visit these hospitals for a sense of reality ? They can personally see how hard the medical personnel r working with a lack of basic protective medical equipment like masks, gowns, respirators! Get out of your fictional bubble !

But Cuomo is going great 🤦‍♂️

How true is the first statement? I'd like to see DATA about the state of all the NY hospitals especially in NYC. I see no data in the article pertaining to NY yet I have seen that the Javits Center and the hospital ship Comfort have plenty of excess capacity.

USA! Seems a misnomer. United states of America

Hahahai had to record something that was being recorded in 2 places as witness against my family who are the defendants. My word has more weight as does my testimony because i caught them conspiring to murder(way too nice) and i want them punished and im not afraid to say it.

Bc CA built ChinaVirus immunity in November & December, NY never was allowed to... the virus was here long b4 Fauci will acknowledge...

Why do we need media when they can't see the obvious on their own. Even the WSJ is lame. California is a state that has 'social distancing' automatically built in. NYC is, of course, the opposite. The media is our national tragedy.

Because there was a lack good leadership from Schumer,Nadler and Coumo. Too busy with impeachment hoax.

Emergency rooms are always overcrowded sir.

Could the climate differential be a factor... asking for a friend?

And most of the rest of the country is like CA. Unlock the doors and let us out!

because its a much bigger space; more sun; fresh air; sea;

gladstein

jdbalart Retweeting a la prensa amarilla del Wall Street journal, nido de comunistas igual que tú, what a surprise!

NY officials encouraging people to group together for Chinese New Year was a fatal error. But hey, it’s better to be dead then to be called a racist.

It's not that CA did well, Cuomo and DeBlasio just really screwed up timing of shutdown. CA also had advantage of lower population density and warmer weather.

Not having a crowded subway system thru all its dense population centers probably helped, too.

California has a lot of older retirees and most of them have the good sense to social distance during normal flu season.

realDonaldTrump .. what aren’t you u responding to this Where are the PPE’s and test kits ? We’re still waiting ...

CA is kicking ass because we take it seriously and our mayor acted in time.
