Correct. He's saying this just to drag Cuomo. Typical teapot dictator shit.

Fauci's been at his current position since Reagan. We're just lucky he hasn't been replaced with some Trump sycophant.
Any blue states should do this.Cuomo should seize Trump tower, evict all it's tenants, and use it as an emergency hospital.
No fire prevention systems in his tower in NY, though. I doubt it would ever be converted. Would be hilarious thoughThe jackass will probably take credit for it, because it's his building.
"A beautiful hospital was made in my building. The best. Because my building is perfect and safe. The safest."
I get your point and i agree, but we are living in times where basic decency and competency are rare as hen's teeth. So giving a little credit where credit is due isn't a bad thingCuomo has been better than Trump, but let's not crown Cuomo. He waited way too long to issue a shelter in place order.
The real MVP in this has been the California governor. They had a full state SIP order six days before New York. NYC's order should've been even earlier since it's the biggest city and it is denser and has a larger population.
A shelter in place that barely anyone was actually was following because it's sunny California and everyone is out jogging and running around anyway.Cuomo has been better than Trump, but let's not crown Cuomo. He waited way too long to issue a shelter in place order.

Yeah that's what I was thinking too, setting up a perimeter outside the city or somethingonly way is utilizing the military and ooooo boy that would be wild
Explain?i suspect Fauci was briefly "fired" on Friday actually (for disagreeing with Glorious Leader) and then Trump got talked out of it by Ivanka.
This is what a lot of people don't get. If you want to totally shut down NYC you also have to totally shut down Connecticut and New Jersey, at a minimum. Realistically, you also need to shut down Pennsylvania, Vermont, New Hampshire, and maybe Massachusetts.Like Cuomo said, when you do shit like this all people do is flee to the less stringent state. The family/friend corridor of the north east is vast since all the states are relatively small, you would have to realistically quarantine multiple states and then in a panic people would still flee to farther states.
That said, great Promo for HBO's 'DMZ's adaptation, lol. Gonna have armed guards around Manhattan when it drops
Ava DuVernay's DMZ pilot for HBO Max actually finished filming
The project stars Rosario Dawson, who had a lot of nice things to say on Twitter.news.avclub.com
In the long list of bizarre human behaviors this is one of the stupidest to me. Why in times of disaster there are lots of assholes who assume this defiant attitude? You see them during tsunamis, hurricanes, tornadoes, etc. What are they trying to convey? That they are tough, or cool or what?People in New York are being fucking stupid about this.
Photos Show NYC Parks Still Bustling During The Global Pandemic
On Friday, Mayor de Blasio said he would consider fines for people congregating in parks.gothamist.com
there's not really much to explain? it's been very clear and obvious since Monday that Fauci is on a very tight leech with Trump. He could potentially fire him any minute.

Well yeah but i just wasn't sure if i missed something on Friday to support your theorythere's not really much to explain? it's been very clear and obvious since Monday that Fauci is on a very tight leech with Trump. He could potentially fire him any minute.
there is progress happening, however I would not put your bets on a vaccine. The reality is even with how fast work on the vaccine is being done you are still waiting a year minimum. Fauci has said as much himself.
oh, sorry for not figuring out that was what you were confused about. Frankly I don't know either, but I feel the writing has been on the wall with Fauci since Monday. I've stopped watching Trump's briefings because they've been giving me panic attacks.Well yeah but i just wasn't sure if i missed something on Friday to support your theory
Seriously, everything north of Virginia on the Eastern Seaboard would need to be shut down.Yup. We are talking a shitload of states a couple of hours with a scenic drive away from each other. You can add Delaware, Rhode Island, and Maryland to the mix all 3 hours away with NYC and close sister cities tied together where many commute in some capacity weekly, and some DAILY to the NYC area.
Ten state minimum shutdown! LOL.
Well yeah but i just wasn't sure if i missed something on Friday to support your theory
When asked about Trump's remarks, Cuomo was disdainful and dismissive, telling reporters, "I didn't speak to him about any quarantine... I haven't had those conversations. I don't even know what that means."
Another reporter asked if a "tri-state quarantine" was "a sound policy from your perspective or would you advise against it," Cuomo repeated, "I don't even know what that means."
"I don't know how that could be legally enforceable and, from a medical point of view, I don't know what you would be accomplishing, but I can tell you I don't even like the sound of it," he said. "Not even understanding what it is, I don't like the sound of it."
There are hospitals in NY resembling the worst hospitals in Italy and Wuhan with makeshift morgues and completely overloaded condictions right now (read up on Elmhurst Hospital)... it's a real problem and it is a NYC specific problem as well, at least so far.So ok let's say he does it. What happens when a bunch of red states start to get out hand too?
The only reason we are seeing large numbers is because of testing. Other states are not doing enough testing. Once they do, things will not look that different than NY.
I was waiting for this agent
Fauci said into the cameras how he could not imagine that someone with a moral conscience would compare the pandemic to car crashes.
3 days later Trump compared the pandemic with car crashes, said he won't listen to experts and Fauci was nowhere to be seen.

Expect Trump to do this literally in every state just before the curve is peaking. He is doing this to get credit. The narrative is going to be "New York was out of control until I stepped in. Right after that things were under control and improving." The entire narrative of his re-election campaign will be that no state flattened the curve until the federal government stepped in. He will be repeating something to the effect of "I really didn't want to step in. I thought the governors could handle it. They couldn't so I came in and fixed it.'
It would have no practical effect. It would just allow Trump to offload blame to the states for the virus outbreak, and then take credit if the curve eventually flattens like its supposed to in a couple weeks.A quarantine like this would basically be throwing up your hands and saying 'I don't care what happens to these places'.
So yeah, Trump will probably do it.
That's more Boris' thing.
i have certainly been expecting Fauci to be fired and i think Trump definitely wants to fire him but someone(s) are telling him not to.
Now with people like Limbaugh saying shit like this:
I think it's coming
