‘Laughable’: New York’s Gov. Cuomo calls out Trump’s benefits executive orders

Andrew Cuomo on Sunday dismissed President Donald Trump’s executive orders as “laughable” and another chapter in the federal government’s botched response to the coronavirus as he praised New Yorkers for mostly good behaviour that has reduced the infection rate in his state.The Democrat was particularly critical of Trump’s Saturday announcement that states must pay part of $400 weekly unemployment insurance benefits.He told a telephone news conference that Trump’s plan would likely cost New York state $4 billion. Donald Trump bypasses congress, signs orders on coronavirus aid “The concept of saying to states, you pay 25 per cent of the insurance, is just laughable,” Cuomo said.

In DC, city of gridlock, tarp stymies Nationals grounds crew

WASHINGTON – When it rained in the top of the sixth inning of the Washington Nationals' game against the Baltimore Orioles on Sunday, it really poured on the infield dirt, because the grounds crew had trouble unrolling the giant tarp used to protect the diamond.The cover got twisted, so the 15 members of the Nationals Park crew needed more than 15 minutes to get the entire thing spread out over the dirt — and even then, it was upside-down, with a sponsor logo facing the ground.There were large puddles between the bases, a result of the sort of gridlock with which the nation's capital is all too familiar.In all, a process usually completed in just a couple of minutes took more than 20 for the tarp to be properly put in place.

hereThe city’s mortality rate remains below the English average and well below the north west average.Until a fortnight ago, meanwhile, the rolling average for cases in the city since mid-March had been solidly mid-table for the ten boroughs, pretty much bang on the Greater Manchester average.Its cumulative infection rate - in other words the number of cases recorded per 100,000 people since the start - stands at 621, around the average for the north west.So by no means cheerful, but not what some had feared.Some of that may have been down to the city deciding in the early days to test people on discharge from hospital before they were returned to their care home - despite government telling them not to - as well as a coordinated approach
