I'm very surprised it's not a giant story that the governor added a month to our blanket lockdown but his brother broke quarantine and literally traveled to another town *while actually sick with Coronavirus* and got a pass on it. https://nypost.com/2020/04/19/andrew-cuomo-owes-a-genuine-back-to-work-plan-to-new-yorkers/
I want this story to blow up just so Brian Stelter can do a "here's why it shouldn't matter that my co-worker broke quarantine after testing positive with Coronavirus" note in his newsletter.
Is this a joke? Yes, this is from Stelter's newsletter. Chris Cuomo was in East Hampton 8 days ago. This is bananas.
All of you journalists ignoring this are a joke. "Emerging from his basement," get tae fuck.
You guys are Pravda. This is so absurd I don't know how he did it, and then Stelter passed it along, with a straight face. https://twitter.com/CuomoPrimeTime/status/1252411300598038529
A lot of people have contacted me saying they hadn't seen this story before and asking for more details. Like, how do I know that Cuomo wasn't allowed to be out on April 12 or how do I know when he was diagnosed. I'm going to lay out the timeline in this thread.
March 31- Chris Cuomo announces he has tested positive. His brother, Gov. Andrew Cuomo says Chris "found out this morning" during his press conference. https://www.c-span.org/video/?470848-1/governor-cuomo-brother-chris-coronavirus
April 13- On his own radio show, Cuomo tells the story of a bicyclist yelling at him. The story had not yet hit the press so it absolutely seems like he was trying to get ahead of it. I include this for people who say bicyclist is lying he saw him. Cuomo outed himself.
April 14- He discusses with Sanjay Gupta that he has NOT gone without fever for 72 hours which Gupta says is what doctors look for to allow someone to leave isolation. Cuomo appears fully aware of that guideline. Cuomo says he went 60 hours. https://twitter.com/CuomoPrimeTime/status/1250237325289893895
April 15- Chris announces his wife has tested positive. He has his brother, Gov. Andrew Cuomo on his show to discuss it. This is actually the exchange that got my spidey sense tingling. There was just something off about it, the language, the mannerisms. https://twitter.com/CNN/status/1250595142937071616
At this point I had heard the story of the biker but assumed that Chris had been outside his own house. The exchange with his brother, where Gov.Cuomo is consoling him about his wife getting COVID-19 made think something was fishy. I started looking into the April 12 altercation.
April 20- He "emerges" from his basement, as if for the first time, and announces himself "cleared by the CDC." So, obviously, he wasn't "cleared by the CDC" to leave his home 8 days prior. https://twitter.com/CuomoPrimeTime/status/1252411300598038529
What do I want? Why am I so incensed by all this? I'm so angry at this theater that Chris and CNN have put on. Emerging from the basement yesterday? Disgusting. People have died from this and he's blatantly breaking quarantine and then putting on this show as if he hadn't.
On April 16, the day after Governor Cuomo was on Chris's show to give him a pass about passing COVID-19 on to his wife Christina, he extended NY's PAUSE for another month. His brother is literally driving around and being outside with other people *WHILE ACTUALLY HAVING COVID.*
