Cuomo dinner party
« on: April 20, 2020, 10:07:58 AM »
The governor talked yesterday about his daughters new boyfriend, then posted a picture of his lovely dinner party with his 3 daughters and the new boyfriend.  His rational is that everyone was quarantined for 2 weeks.

So, since we are all making up stuff as we go along.  Does that mean that we can hang out with other people as long as we all have been in 2 weeks of isolation? 

It’s a very mixed message. Or it just a case of do as I say, not as I do.

I think as long as you can trust and guarantee that everyone's been in isolation and you're not taking public transportation to hang out, it should be ok.

Yes, I think you could, as long as 2 weeks of isolation actually means absolute isolation -- like, no walks outside in the park, no shopping at the grocery or the pharmacy, etc.

IMO quarantine is very different from isolation. I consider myself to be isolating but I'm definitely not in quarantine.

It doesn't seem like he has been in isolation since he is at a press conference everyday

That's true. I was thinking he was talking about the eldest daughter and her boyfriend having been in quarantine. Yes, it's clear he hasn't been in quarantine. So he'd be able to infect them (if he's been exposed an infected in the past two weeks) but they won't be infecting him.

Perhaps since he's governor, he has better access to testing and he got tested before they came to stay. I really don't know, but I personally am not concerned.

I’m personally pissed off. 

We were all told if It’s  not essential, you are not to meet anyone in any size groups. 

We all cancelled holiday and family plans.  He certainly should be held to the same standard as well.

He should be getting hammered for having his daughters boyfriend over for dinner after preaching to us all to do the Exact opposite.

That’s your right to be pissed off. I’m personally going to focus on the other stuff in my life that’s been a struggle during these times, but everyone has the right to choose their battles and where to focus their emotions.

 Those of us with lots of contact with young people might see this differently. The boyfriend of Cuomo's daughter might very well have been living with them this whole time under quarantine. Many parents got "surprised" by this circumstance of couples not wanting to be apart and I know lots of circumstances where they choose one parents place or the other parents place to wait this out together. Young love prevails.

   I strongly think that is what's happening here but they just might not want to publicize it.

i don't think any parent in the 21st century would be that shocked about an adult daughter being, shall we say, "romantically active" with a partner. the Cuomo women range in age from 22 to 25.

 Not just romantically involved but deciding to shelter in place with people who they were not known to have a serious relationship with at the time, that's the surprise element.

i know people in that age group, and people with offspring in that age group, and it's not rare. granted, it was more common in the '70s and '80s, but it's still out there.

My impression from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFY_P6yR0BY is that Cuomo and his three daughters are now living in the same house. Skip to around 25min. So having dinner together doesn't seem so unusual.

Give the Cuomo's a break! The governor seems to be well aware of what to do and what not to do. Wasn't he talking from the beginning about visitors and keeping his mother safe? Didn't his own brother come down with Corona? Are his daily updates making any sense? And who cares, if he doesn't, who his daughters sleep with?

I think some people have too much time on their hands right now.

I don’t give a shot who his daughter sleeps with...

I care that we are all told to lock down and have zero social engagements. Yet he has a fabulous dinner party and invited over his daughters boyfriend.

Please feel free to have dinner with your family also, if they and you have been quarantined for at least two weeks. Considering Cuomo's leadership during this crisis, maybe we can wait until the crisis is over before we complain about his shortcomings again.
