Coronavirus Blooms in The Big Apple as Governor Cuomo Avoids Urging ‘Calm’

Governor Cuomo was hoping to avoid ‘the hype’, but may have just played into.

March 7, 2020

New York City has one of the densest populations in all of America, and the world for that matter. It’s a bustling metropolis with two major airports, dozens of well trafficked tourist attractions, and a plethora of popular gathering spots.

That’s why the latest news out of The Big Apple is so alarming.

Coronavirus cases jumped to 11 in New York City and 76 statewide, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said as he declared a state of emergency Saturday.

“Westchester is an obvious problem for us,” Cuomo said. “They talk about the contagion in clusters and then the clusters tend to infect more and more people.”

Cuomo’s concerns came with an exclamation point of a statement.

“I’m not urging calm,” Cuomo added. “I’m urging reality. I’m urging a factual response as opposed to an emotional response…that people understand the information and not the hype.”

The spread of the COVID-19 strain of coronavirus has become a political issue as of late, with President Trump remaining calm and insisting that the illness is “under control”. Democrats who oppose him have repeatedly blamed Trump for any future, hypothetical calamities that could arise as the virus spreads.
