When asked Wednesday about the economic and emotional tolls many New Yorkers are facing as a result of the coronavirus crisis, the State’s Governor Andrew Cuomo said that although the lockdown is difficult for residents, it’s their “responsibility” to comply in order to save lives.
Although he recognized that there are issues from the current social distancing measures such as a rise in domestic violence, emotional stress, and increased economic anxiety, Cuomo said it’s “very bad,” but “not death.”
“Economic hardship, yes, very bad, not death. Emotional stress from being locked in a house very bad, not death,” Cuomo said. “Domestic violence on the increase, very bad, not death, and not death of someone else. See, that’s what we have to factor into this equation. Yeah, it’s your life, do whatever you want, but you’re not responsible for my life.”
He added, “You have a responsibility to me. It’s not just about you. You have a responsibility to me, right. We started here saying it’s not about me, it’s about we. Get your head around the we concept, so it’s not all about you. It’s about me too. It’s about we.”

It’s made OJ look like an amateur.
Thomas Paine had common sense to share regarding balancing liberty and death, as I recall.
Talking up DV will just bring on more.and the Democrats know that because that is how they always light the embers.
Yeah?
Suck on this Cuomo:
30,000 die from domestic violence every single year.

And that was even before the economy crippling.
For some it is. And for some, COVID is not.
He says this as if contracting the coronavirus leads to certain death.
Clueless. It CAN be death, and if he doesn’t understand this, his bubble is bigger than we believed.
[[Cuomo said it’s “very bad,” but “not death.” ]]
First of all- how does he know some spouses aren’t taking it too far? and second- HIS EO is devastaTING to 10’s of 1000’s OF VICTIMS WHO COULD HAVE BEEN SAVED HAD THEY BEEN ABLE TO GET THE hcq EARLY ENOUGH- but the msm is silent about that0-
He has the same benighted, smug, sanctimonious speaking style of his father.
It's soo annoying, grates on me like cheese.
Actually, a lot of times it is death. Usually but not always for the woman and for the children.
"rape/rape" and "death/death",what's the big deal?
The hell I do. If you want to be a faggot, then stay inside. Nobody's forcing you to go to the state parks, stores, restaurants. I'm willing to take the risk of you dying if you get infected from engaging in normal life amongst the rest of us. If you aren't then quarantine yourself.
James Caan. His parents were on the last boat out of Germany.
Nicole Simpson for one, would vehemently disagree.
Yeah... For some it’s worse than death. The daily beatings will continue until moral improves.
Equivocating is real.....
Even verbal abuse can have devastating effects on a person, especially a child. I have spent most of my life recovering from the extreme verbal abuse I experienced as a child. It wears a person down and makes them feel powerless and worthless. Once my abuser tried to kill the whole family by trying to cause a head-on crash. You never know when verbal abuse will turn into devastating violence like your poor aunt experienced. Prayers for her, because her aftereffects are on multiple levels.
He also fails to mention that domestic abuse kills 30,000 people every year.

Not to mention, the overwhelming majority of those who get Covid 19 never even get sick enough to go to the hospital, only showing very mild symptoms.
