Andrew Cuomo, governor of New York

“Some states, like Montana and Nebraska, are getting more than $300,000 in federal stimulus money per reported COVID-19 case. New York is the hardest-hit state and yet we are getting only about $12,000 per case.”

PolitiFact rated this: Mostly True

PolitiFact says: Cuomo is basically right, though he addressed only one segment of the stimulus aid, and he glossed over the distinction between aid to states and aid to health care providers within those states.

Donald Trump, President of the United States

“We’re also using a sterilization process ― some great equipment that will sterilize masks up to 20 times per mask. So that’s like ordering 20 times more masks.”

PolitiFact rated this: Half True

PolitiFact says: The FDA granted emergency authorization to new technology that can sterilize respirator masks up to 20 times. In many cases, normal wear and tear means N95 respirators cannot be sanitized and reused safely.
