New York is the most infected state with COVID-19 at the moment and it’s pretty much common knowledge that New York residents just need to stay at home in their state and not go spreading the disease more throughout the country.
You would think Cuomo would be on the same page with Trump on that stance, but no…
Cuomo is now calling Trump’s possible short-term quarantine of New York a “federal declaration of war” that could also lead to “civil war talks.”
What the what?
What planet is this guy living on?
There are shut down and quarantine orders all over the darn country, but Cuomo somehow sees a temporary limit of travel in and out of New York (the most infected state) as war?
I think he may be overreacting…
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Saturday in an interview with CNN that he didn’t believe a possible New York quarantine was legal and that it would be a “federal declaration of war” after President Donald Trump said he was considering such a tactic for the New York metro area as US coronavirus cases increase.
“It would be chaos and mayhem,” Cuomo told CNN’s Ana Cabrera. “It’s totally opposite everything he’s been saying. I don’t think it is plausible. I don’t think it is legal.”
More than 52,000 of the nation’s over 113,000 coronavirus cases have been reported in New York state alone. And officials are forecasting that the apex of the pandemic there is still 14 to 21 days away.“This would be a federal declaration of war on states,” Cuomo said, adding that he doesn’t think the President is looking to start a war with states.

Watch the video:
I think Cuomo is really jumping the gun on what Trump means by “quarantine.”
I’m sure the president doesn’t want to cut off all travel to and from New York – leaving them to slowing starve to death – he most likely means cutting off non-essential travel.
Good grief, Cuomo…calm down.
