We are one nation. We need to purchase and distribute supplies working together as one nation. 50 states can't be competing with each other for the same supplies. It makes no sense.

We can't have 50 states all competing against each other for the same live-saving supplies. The competition hurts all of us by massively driving up prices. We need a nationwide buying consortium.

BREAKING: Abbott gets approval for point-of-care coronavirus test that can detect a positive case in FIVE MINUTES. Think of a strep throat test, but for coronavirus. In fact, it's the same platform. Company will take 50,000 of them available a day, starting next week.

I lost my Dad this morning to COVID-19. He was my rock, my best friend, and my hero. He had virtually no symptoms and 48 hours later he was fighting for his life. I’m begging you guys from the bottom of my heart, please stay inside and be safe.

Dr. Debbie Birxs stood at this press conference and lied. The conditions in NY Hospitals are worse than we are hearing. I have been sharing info from inside these hospitals. Dr. Birx, your job is to protect the American people, not this administration. TELL THE TRUTH!!!

We now know Trump was briefed on th coming Coronavirus on 12/22/2019. How many more ventilators, N95 masks & protective gear could we have had if we had a real president? He knew but chose to let us die, instead.

Donald Trump is suing to take this off TV. You guys know what to do.
Trump refused to take the threat of the coronavirus seriously, now he won’t take responsibility as his administration has been totally unprepared for this crisis.

Facts are empowering. Even when the facts are discouraging, not knowing the facts is worse. I promise that I will continue to give New Yorkers all the facts, not selective facts.

We fought for urgent help for small business. My dad was a small businessman, an exterminator. I know how small business people worry and suffer. We wanted to make sure no one goes into financial ruin because of coronavirus.
