This is the moment @NYGovCuomo became—according to betting markets—the second-place candidate in the 2020 Democratic presidential primary, with a 7% chance of becoming the nominee, per the most recent data. These 25 minutes of today's coronavirus briefing.
CUOMO: "This is a different beast that we're dealing with. This is an invisible beast. It is an insidious beast. This is not going to be a short deployment...this is going to be weeks and weeks and weeks. This is going to be a long day. And it's going to be a hard day... {cont.}
CUOMO (2): "...and it's going to be a ugly day. And it's going to be a sad day. This is a rescue mission that you're on. The mission is to save lives...and as hard as we work, we're not going to be able to save everyone. And what's even more cruel is that this enemy...
CUOMO (3): "...doesn't attack the strongest of us. It attacks the weakest of us. It attacks our most vulnerable. Which makes it even worse...because these are the people that every instinct tells us we're supposed to protect. These are our parents and grandparents...
CUOMO (4): "...these are our aunts, our uncles, our relative who's sick. And every instinct says protect *them*, help *them*, because they need us. And those are the exact people this enemy attacks.

Every time I've called out the National Guard I've said the same thing to you...
CUOMO (5): "...I promise you I will not ask you to do anything I will not do myself. And I will never ask you to go anywhere I won't go myself. And the same is true here. We're going to do this, and we're going to do this together.

You are living a moment in history...
CUOMO (6): "...This is going to be one of those moments they're going to write about and they're going to talk about for generations. This is a moment that is going to change this nation. This is a moment that forges character. Forges people. Changes people. Make them stronger...
CUOMO (7): "...make them weaker—but this is a moment that will change character.

And ten years from now, you'll be talking about today to your children or your grandchildren, and you will shed a tear, because you will remember the lives lost. And you'll remember the faces...
CUOMO (8): "...And you'll remember the names. And you'll remember how hard we worked, and that we still lost loved ones. And you'll shed a tear—and you should, because it will be sad. But you'll also be proud. You'll be proud of what you did. You'll be proud that you showed up...
CUOMO (9): "You showed up when others played it safe. You had the courage to show up, and you had the skill and professionalism to make a difference and save lives...and at the end of the day, nobody can ask any more from you. That is your duty. To do what you can, when you can."
