You should try to fact check your statements. While NY state had more
deaths than any other state, they were among the first to get hit hard
but they have pulled back from that peak. The total number of deaths in
NY is reported to be 32,336. CA has 10,197 deaths and climbing, a ration
just over 3x -- not 20x as you claim.
For the last seven days, NY has had zero deaths.
In terms of total number of cases, NY is not even in first place. It
ranks 4th behind CA, FL and TX.

That was done with recovering Covid patients at a time when the
hospitals were running over capacity. When the mistake was realized,
it was changed to only recovering Covid patients who had tested
negative.

No -- they hijacked equipment ordered and paid for the states at
inflated prices. It is not clear what they did with those supplies,
especially when Whitehouse officials declared that the national
stockpile was not for the states to use.

He said that it was not necessary to wear a mask -- and that he would
not wear one. He was recorded on one of his press conferences saying
that since bleach is a good disinfectant, it might be a good idea to
inject it as a cure.
AT> I DID hear Trump say "wear

Much later -- but he still did not do what he said.
