Cuomo Tells Washington to 'Stop Abusing New York'

The transcript discusses the impact of COVID-19 on states like Massachusetts, Illinois, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, emphasizing that these states bore the brunt of the virus through no fault of their own. It explains that New York had a high number of cases not because of local factors but due to the virus arriving from Europe, contrary to initial beliefs that it was coming from China. The virus traveled from China to Europe and then to New York, with millions of Europeans bringing it unknowingly. The transcript argues that it was a national mistake, not New York's fault, and criticizes the blame placed on the state for the high case numbers.
