RUSH EXCERPT:
CUOMO: “Hello. Today’s Monday, day 170, New Yorkers were ground zero for the Covid virus and have gone from one of the highest infection rates in the globe to one of the lowest. We climbed the impossible mountain and right now we are on the other side. We did it with a kindness and assistance of so many. New Yorkers want to thank everyone who came to our aide. 30,000 Americans who volunteered to come here to help in our hour of need. Your love gave us the strength to carry on. We went through Hell, but we’ve learned much. We know that our problems go beyond the Covid virus. Covid is the symptom, not the illness. Our nation is in crisis. And in many ways, Covid is just a metaphor. A virus attacks when the body is weak. And when it cannot defend itself. Over the past few years, America has been weakened. The divisions have been growing deeper, the anti-Semitism, the racism in Charlottesville, where the KKK didn’t even bother to wear their hoods. And in Minnesota where the life was squeezed from Mr. Floyd.”
