If there's anyone who's doing better than ever during this coronavirus nightmare, it's Governor Andrew Cuomo. His leadership and communication skills are on big display, he seems to be handling it like a real pro, and he's becoming something of a national hero for the way he's guiding the state and the country through this crises.
And obviously his handling of this situation is miles and miles ahead of the buffon in the White House. People from around the country are looking to Cuomo for guidance and reassurance, not the Orange Cheeto.
Best of all is when the Guv goes on TV and breaks balls with his brother Chris Cuomo, the CNN anchor. If you have a brother (and I have one), you recognize the dynamic completely -- the competition, the constant bickering, the half-serious/half-kidding verbal play, the "Who do our parents love?" more schtick. It's disturbingly relatable.
But after this crises is over, there will be more to do -- namely, turning the Internet into a public utility. I just read this heart-wrenching story about a young girl who doesn't have WiFi and obviously can't leave the house -- now she can't do school work and her education is being endangered! Cuomo and all politicians will show true leadership going forward if they can make the Internet accessible to all.
