Posted this to a righty on another board:

You fought the science and the science won. Your magical thinking won't save Trump nor, unfortunately, will it save the lives of members of his benighted base.

Making a political issue out of the wearing of masks will be looked back upon, along with the too early openings, as THE dumbest thing you righties did to yourselves.

New York Gov. Cuomo to other states: 'You played politics with this virus, and you lost'

Source: CNBC

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo criticized other state leaders’ response to the coronavirus pandemic Thursday, saying some states who rushed to reopen their economies were playing politics.

Cuomo, a Democrat, was asked by CNN’s Alisyn Camerota about comments made by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, a Republican, who said the state’s quarantine on New Yorkers earlier this year “saved lives” and reduced the spread of the virus.

“I say to them all look at the numbers,” Cuomo said in response, referring to conservative states seeing a rise in Covid-19 cases. “You played politics with this virus, and you lost. You told the people of this state, you told the people of this country, the White House, ‘Don’t worry about it. Go about your business. This is all Democratic hyperbole.’”

“Now you see 27 states with the numbers going up. You see the death projections going up. You see the economy going down,” Cuomo said. “It was never politics. It was always science.”
