'Moved quickly': Andrew Cuomo praises President Trump's coronavirus response Washington Examiner, Mar 14, 2020
Democratic New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo thanked President Trump for “moving quickly” to combat the coronavirus outbreak spreading in the United States.
“I want to thank the vice president — and especially the president — who facilitated this and moved quickly,” Cuomo said during a Friday press conference.
“The more you test, the more positives you find, the more you can isolate, and the more you reduce the spread,” Cuomo added. “You learn from the countries that have come before: China, South Korea, and Italy.
“We’ve been talking to the federal government about the federal government authorizing states to do testing. State health departments regulate labs in their states. We need obviously more testing capacity, and we need it quickly. So I spoke to the vice president about this.”
