Such is simply not possible.

Agreed. Many businesses will simply not be able stay in business after two weeks.

How will the economy operate being shutdown to this degree?

And when people who live paycheck to paycheck run out of money? Then the Federal government goes to every house and provides food deliveries? Every month? Not everyone has a prepper mindset.

And Cuomo is saying that is because why? What's the difference between 50% and 80%? 100%. In other words, Cuomo talks about causing fear - and then talks about the very thing that is going to cause people fear.

Governors need to focus on standing up resources to deal with COVID-19 now. Talking about what may be in 9 months is useless. It solves no current problem. It addresses no current need.

You are correct, Sir. For example, governments can pre-pay businesses for things they will order from them in the near future anyway, thus helping to keep them afloat.
