New York Governor Andrew Cuomo (62) has had a heated exchange of views with US President Donald Trump (72) on responsibilities in the fight against the corona pandemic.
–
Cuomo held its daily press conference on Friday and, among other things, asked for more money from Washington when Trump tweeted: «Governor Cuomo should spend more time” making “and less time” complaining “. Get out there and do the job. Stop talking!”
–
Since the corona virus reached the USA and New York became a hotspot, Cuomo has made a name for itself nationally. Not least because the governor relies on scientific facts more than opinion. In contrast to the president.

«Should I send him flowers»
When asked about Trump’s tweet, Cuomo railed at the press conference: “If he is sitting at home and watching TV, he should get up and go to work.”
–
He also asked rhetorically how often he should thank Washington for the help it has given so far in the crisis, after all that was Trump’s job. «I don’t know what to do – send a bouquet of flowers?»
–
Neither did he need the president to read out his rights as governor. Only the heads of government of the US states would decide on the opening of society and the economy in the pandemic.

Zoff for Trump’s lockdown schedule
The background to this is an exchange of blows between the US President and several governors over the responsibilities for easing the measures imposed due to the corona pandemic.
–
Trump had announced on Thursday a plan to gradually return to normality in three phases and to gradually reopen the economy.
–
Trumps also criticized via Twitter that New York had received additional, previously unused beds in emergency clinics from federal funds. Cuomo countered: “If you want to point your finger at someone because we have more beds than we need, our only mistake was to believe your numbers.” This will not happen again. (SDA)
