has the authority to impose a quarantine on New York, New Jersey and parts of Connecticut to stop the spread of the coronavirus.
Cuomo said he does not believe that Trump intends to impose a sweeping quarantine of the region but suggested he could sue if the administration did follow through. The governors in the tri-state region, however, said they were in the dark about Trump's possible quarantine. Cuomo said that while he spoke with the president Saturday morning, a quarantine didn't come up during their discussions. New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy told reporters on Saturday that Trump did not bring up a possible quarantine when they spoke on Friday.
When NBC News asked White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows what legal authority the administration has to order a quarantine, Meadows replied, "We're evaluating all the options right now."
This Guy doesn’t understand interstate distancing will localize the virus for better control
CNBC shut up
Says the man who has the most deaths in any state
What should be illegal is the utter incompetence of every step or lack of steps ... while blaming others for your mistakes ... that you have not taken. 2 weeks ago you said quarantines do not work. NYGovCuomo Now innocent people are paying for your politicizing your failures.
If he cant YOU can, Look at India over a billion people and only 29 death with less than 2k cases. People to stop going out for exercising. We need people locked up and can only go out for medical emergency. Even Singapore is putting people in jail if they go out. 45kHz
Maybe if he closed down more parks, businesses and schools New York wld not b so bad. But he said New York didn't need to. Dumb ass. And now all these New Yorkers all leaving going to other states rather flying or driving is causing concern for the rest of us.
So if anyone gets raped or sexually assaulted by any of these animals. I would see the shot out of Como
NYGovCuomo 2 days ago a mid-age couple from NYC were standing in line at our small town grocer proudly telling the cashier how they just got out of dodge (NYC). They're driving a brand spanking new Mercedes camper van which they had just purchased. I went home and took a shower.
This is the reason it’s going to go on for a lot longer than it should
Amateur hour NYGovCuomo continues to be in denial and worse the Blue’s heed that he’s Presidential material desperation
I truly think he is just trying to get his face in the news constantly he has a plan to run for something bigger. But if you don’t take care of the people now they’re not going to vote for you!!!!
Hey Gov!! Could you please work on your unemployment situation that we can’t get through on the phone lines to a live person to finish our sign up and most people are still having trouble with your online claims. How about you take care of your people now.
Getting tired of this NY governor's meaningless briefing. More aggressive measurement needed there before too late.
No one is going to follow Trump at this point. He’s a LameDuck.
Well keep them out of Florida. We have enough trouble. Let them go to Montauk, Sag Harbor, the Hamptons, the Catskills, the Adirondacks....where there are fewer resources than NYC and locals are stressed - but at least it can still be his problem.
Dude is all over the place. Panic panic panic now I’m going to sue you. Stay focused on the problem !
🆗 Fredo
The USSR and North Korea did it
Lockdowns happening in Abuja and Lagos Nigeria.
Cuomo is a jackass! His efforts are focused on handling the surge and not flattening the curve. I think he sees this as his chance to revel in the spotlight even at the cost of thousands of lives. Coronavirustruth
Rights being destroyed daily. Mayors and governors need to be prosecuted.
IRRELEVANT - CDC issued a strong travel advisory. Why regurgitate last weeks news?
Note USA deaths from corona numbers. Not reporting? 3/27/20 +525 deaths = 2221 total deaths from corona (that's 7 deaths per 1 mil total population) 3/28/20 +264 deaths = total 2484 total deaths (that's 8 deaths per 1mil) This is just 1 day decrease. But could be start of trend
Then he better take control of the situation in his state! The rest of the country won't put up with it
Good thing govenors & mayor's have & should make own decisions for local needs. Why aren't they being held accountable in media? Ie. Michigan govenor.
He is the president an has control over government
Now this guy is worried about civil liberties?
Illegal, crap! Your refusal to act early is the reason NY has a big problem.
Good Luck Gov
Yet the lockdown worked in China. We have too much free movement at the moment and we are seeing our COVID numbers increase. Let’s move passed politics on this and flatten the curve.
Why contain it?
NYGovCuomo realDonaldTrump usdoh SecAzar HHSGov Did Cuomo say I have no plans to shut down any cities in NY? A deadly declamation Cuomo did what the EU did Place ideology over human life He lets thousands die to advance potus Election Year agenda Oh there is more:
If he would be a governor the president wouldn’t have to take over ...do something than cry and blame others
When and If, we will see you in court !!! NYGovCuomo
Doesn't mean much Coming from the guy who says we must do everything to stop the virus but won't shut off his subway system.
What a loser, he doesnt care about the thousands getting infected in NY, just wants to play anti-Trump politics
This is the one time I have to agree with trump. Everyone should stay indoors for one whole month and let this virus die down before they end up dying. .NYGovCuomo
SELF Quarantine , DUMMY SO YOU WONT IFECIT YOUR MUMMY
A true leader would worry about public safety. I don't care what you think is legal.
The longer you Americans fight more on this, the worse its gonna get. Trust me on this. I have been on restricted movement in Malaysia for 11 days now and we still report new cases. So please stay at home and flatten the curve.
Of course he does. Its called martial law. And would you like to get sued by the federal gov for allowing New Yorkers to infect people in other states?
Even if he doesn’t have the authority. Don’t you think he should do it? There are more than 100,000 cases! More than that of China and your cases skyrocketed in less than a month. 14k cases in a day! Now is the time to stay at home for at least 2 weeks.
Don't play the fools job
Don’t agree with 99% of what Trump does but Coumo is wrong on this one
I hate Trump and I know he is Incompetent, but you should impose quarantine, if not all you are doing is getting blood out of a stone.
Actually ubder martial law used once during the civil war, the president can in fact quarentine any city or prinipality nessecary foe the the continuity and saftey of the united states.
Everything about trump is illegal
Sorry but this was the right call to make by the President. You should close the city down to stop the virus from spreading. It's killing too many people. ShutDownNYC
Here's your November candidate.
Good job Cuomo...u want to spread it to the rest of US.
That’s why realDonaldTrump backed down. But hey, he’s always backed down from these kinds of threats. These are just diversions from his failed response in February. RememberInNovember
you are either part of the problem, or part of the solution
So Cuomo has spare time to sue the government because they want to close his borders? What's his major malfunction that he's so opposed to reducing viral transmission Infuriating.
Is it possible to remove a president from office for creating more chaos than good?
Am I MISSING SOMETHING? Why is he against a quarantine? WHY
Must be planning to run for President next time. Trying to keep his face in the lime light. Careful Cuomo your stupidity is showing.
Everyone should be quarantined!!! Locked down!! And you should be figuring out how to get everyone’s claims in on your unemployment site that won’t work! And unemployment phone lines that you can’t get through!!! Stop trying to get your face out there and do your job!!!!
Just keep moving forward Mr Cuomo, you are doing a fantastic job for NY and the country with your example of leadership, caring and professionalism so beyond excellence.
On one hand NY governor wants all the ventilators in the world, he wants federal government to bail him out, everything is Trump government’s fault, can not support quarantine to contain the epidemic. Time to own up and act NY gov.
Remember when all the Dems were complaining that Trump wouldn’t issue a national lockdown? Now NYC is out of control and the same ppl are complaining about a lockdown. Incredible.
WHY not talk Mrs. speaker of house. she wants to queen!
Cuomo throws tantrums like a 3-year old child, let the pandemic, the virus, and the pain go away! But No! You can’t make me stay home. Oh, when are you going to give me ventilators, okay I’m going buy thousands of manual ventilators and you send soldiers now to pump for us!
Of course cuomo wants infected people to leave NY lol. Why isn’t the media blasting him?!!!!
Somebody needs to quarantine Cuomo’s Meatball mouth!
NYGovCuomo bitches about POTUS, then begs for the President's help, then acts like a complete imbecile. New York voters need to remove this hack before he causes too much damage. POTUS GOP theDemocrats MAGA
Cuomo, stop being arrogant. Nothing wrong learning from China. This is a global virus now. YES, it started to spread from China but they could control it. US can't. Even if the virus was spread To China from the US, China can still control it. It is discipline of the ppl.
Trump is trying to save his property before someone needs be quarantined on his property and be excused from the billing statement. Would cost a fortune to clean every room, and common areas after a private wedding. By the way, how is Miller? He got married after Coronavirus.
Yeah just keep up with what you’re doing spreading the virus furiously
They need it per their cases 2fourniner5 can you advise
Weak leadership. Indecisive. Lock down is anti American?
Double speak at its best. Do more... but not that!
You have a temperament to be true President
So the Governor wants New Yorkers in New York to stay home but it is OK to go to other states.
Really. No war powers. Wow Cuomo.. read the law
President Trump should do whatever is best for the country.
This will not age well.
Lol, dems not wanting gov to step in. I've heard it all now.
NYGovCuomo NYCMayor great, let more people die because you want money
Breaking the law is this President forte.
Just look who's talking ~'Il Duce'.
STFU
Madness.. millions will get infected!
Maybe it would be a good idea if NYC residents stay within their boundaries and not infect the rest of the country?NewYork & NJ have a real Covid19 epidemic going on—weird since California has double NY population and only a tiny fraction of virus cases—
Then this gov needs to keep his people in NY! They are NOT welcome anywhere else! realDonaldTrump chickened out! realDonaldTrump shame on you! ABC FoxNews
Cuomo the ventilator man is FOS
It doesn't help that Mayor I don't wake up before 10 Deblasio didn't shut down the parks ASAP and other public sites.
Love Cuomo - he is doing an amazing job - he should be our next President!!!!!
It was at a crucial time in my life. The dividing line between abuse of power and civil rights is getting a little blurred. I come from a hard working family & every civil right of mine has been choked to death. I should have sued back then.
I need to tell you something. I went to college in Ny. I wont say where. I lived and worked up there many years. I was illegally thrown out of my job working at a University because i was a whistle blower. I was thrown out again by a group of wealthy snobs who didnt want me there
What’s illegal is your lying about needing medical equipment & finding you are hoarding it! Not only illegal but immoral. The airports in & out of New York should have been closed two weeks ago. On your order, not the Presidents.
Shut up Cuomo, your state is falling apart!
Florida should be quarantined after letting spring breakers party for weeks. Also Florida is the least safe state with the most senior citizens per capita. Florida’s government response is a disaster.
Cuomo is such a loser...
Trump was just posturing and providing Saturday news cycle
Cuomo, Do you want your people to die or live
He is totally wrong. The city must be quarantined immediately with strongest measures. Don't hesitate, don't waste time, do it right now.
Wtf is going on this country. 2 teams.
Cuomo is sick in the head.
Ok, undock us navy hospotal ship now.
Actually I believe investors are looking for stability which in this case would come from locking down these highly infected areas.
According to Cuomo, Trump didn’t help with respirators and he can’t quarantine NYC. What the hell do you want him to do? Cuomo has been great with complaining but he has no solutions. At least Trump is trying and not bashing Cuomo. What a freakin goon!
Gov. Wolfe needs to step up or is he quarantined. Maybe this is why. Are you taking the responsibility of testing those people before they infect another state.? Sorry im tired if pushy outoftowners who made tons of money gobbling up the other states. Im risking my life here.
NYGovCuomo is such an ass. All noise no leadership.
Agreed but no one seems to care regardless of whether it is Cuomo or Trump or Dewine or whoever.
Yes he can
Make your mind up Cuomo... cry for help. People say Trump needs to do more.. he does people cry more🤦♀️ The man can not win. Go find some more ventilators in your warehouse that you were crying about ... idiot.
Yes he can
When has legality been his strong point?
Actually the CDC can.
You do.
Don't trust this SOB. He positioning himself against Trump politically but not functionally or ideologically. He a pandemic profiteer trying to use a pandemic for his own political gain.
Relax folks. Cuomo is just setting the stage. Fed govt will decide This is not going to be fun. Hunker down with a good book and isolate. We all need to help. Pray for Drs , RNs and their helpers. God bless us all.
Of course he can. National security.
NYGovCuomo you continue your careless postion, playing Russian Roulette w/the great State of NY
Yeh the only right he has is to give us money and supplies. We are the entitled state!
Politicians only care about the laws that help them get their way. The rest are toilet paper.
I guess Guomo had better do it
This guy is a moron. If everyone stays in for a couple of weeks many lives will be spared. You can’t catch from within your house.
JUST DO IT ALREADY !
Quarantine those 3 states for the sake of the nation already!
This has nothing to do with NY spreading it. It’s already all over the place!! Wait to see what happens in New Orleans. You want to blame that on New Yorkers too I bet. Cuomo is the only one with any sensibility
I'm sure he is smart enough to comply to save lives.
But we should to control this
NYC nurses begging people to stay home, and hes like 'everythingnis fine'
He has failed that state... and thousands will die
But would it be wrong?
He thinks about the stock market I can't believe what he said you must contain the spreading you have 2 options let infect everyone and lose millions all quarantine and lose thousands due to late action I hope the Feds are more concerned about the millions of lifes not $
Ok, well since you can't see the strategy let me tell you. Trump wants to impose quarantine, you say, no way. Things get worse, you cannot blame Trump anymore. This is a simple playbook.
realDonaldTrump made first mistake not to shut in February.. now another idiot is joining NYGovCuomo shut complete USA for 2 weeks .. learn something from narendramodi PMOIndia
But pos Democrat governors can. F the dnc
Relax Fredo
Looking into the political 🔮newyork governor AndrewCuomo not having a job after this is all over COVID19
LOL, well cuomo, your gay CIA puppet president obama made sure to it through legislation Trump could...
Under war time powers is that really true? Think not.
Cuomo is a fear monger, and trying to spread it over the US. He said that the rest of the nation would experience what New York has experienced.
Cuomo is wrong here.
Cuomo is wrong. If NY wants to fight in the courts while outbreak spreads outward from NYC to other states and areas, it’s on him.
This guy is a real jackass
So, what are shelter in place executive orders issues by governor's?
EG_Systems
Somebody needs to take control of that city. Apparently the officials there can’t handle it.
Since when do New York Democrats care about what is Constitutional? It is perfectly legal and a matter of National Security and the General Welfare.
He's talking about a two week travel quarantine. Settle down.
Make up your minds, Liberals.
Now it’s the North talking about state’s rights?
Martial Law
It's not illegal. It is a matter of national security and general welfare.
So cuomo wants money...he asks for federal dollars,,,if he wants ventilators,, he asks for federal help ...now ,, he will sue the feds...I will enjoy seeing him arrested and in shackles as he tries to drive to Rhode Island
I guess the Constitution depends on whose ox is being gored.
All you have to say to Trump is his actions might affect the stock market and he’ll back down. NYGovCuomo is one smart cookie.
amtvmedia
Legal or not, Cuomo's comment 'The stock market would drop like a stone' might get the Yam's attention
What are you gonna do, Cuomo? Sue every state that doesn't want NYers atm?
A,C,D,H,M,N key
Florida doesn’t get to complain after they went through with spring break.
Can you just be good governor. Let’s do what’s Trump said. Protect your people first. Please
Trump will send a drone for NYGovCuomo
He has no idea what the United States constitution entails. Thankfully most governors have stepped up in the absence of a legitimate president. trump is such a fckn idiot its nauseating. The day he's evicted from the Whitehouse will be an international holiday celebrated globally
Such a dimwit, the Feds control interstate commerce, of course it can be imposed ... a traveler can’t bring fruit or unprocessed meat or specific animals into Hawaii ... we quarantine coming into the US restrictions...
Well Andrew.....you said people should stay in their house. If you are in your house, you can’t travel. So Trump is quarantining people who aren’t supposed to travel. Let’s assume trucking is allowed to continue.
He wanted to have a national lockdown/quarantine. But I guess after seeing NY finances he doesn’t care about public health anymore 😂😂😂
Honestly don’t have faith in Justice Roberts deeming it illegal....
Looks like your 15 Minutes are almost up 😉
This man really can't make up his mind. One day the sky is falling and Trump didn't do enough, the next day he goes 180 and it's not that bad.
But he can close down all private business?
You mean you will be okay for someone who probably has the virus go somewhere else and infect that person? You people aren't serious
Great. Let's let NY spread it further.
Actually that is not true.
