New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo admitted Monday that coronavirus projections from experts were all wrong -- and he's getting out of the business of speculating because of it.
Cuomo said he can't predict when the hospitalization and death rate numbers will drop to the necessary threshold required for reopening certain regions because as he put it, "we all failed" at predicting.
"Now, people can speculate. People can guess. I think next week, I think two weeks, I think a month," Cuomo told reporters on Memorial Day. "I'm out of that business because we all failed at that business. Right? All the early national experts. Here's my projection model. Here's my projection model. They were all wrong. They were all wrong."
Cuomo's rare admission came during an event at the Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum in New York City when a reporter asked the governor when hard-hit New York City might reopen.
Cuomo mentioned the statewide criteria that regions needed to hit to phase out of quarantine, which included a 14-day decline in coronavirus hospitalizations and deaths. But, he admitted he didn't "want to guess" when the Big Apple could meet the benchmark because past projections have been wrong.
"There are a lot of variables. I understand that. We didn't know what the social distancing would actually amount to. I get it, but we were all wrong," Cuomo said. "So, I'm sort of out of the guessing business, right? We watched the numbers. We prepare as the numbers drop, so when the number actually hits the threshold, we're ready to go. We just finished that. We're in the midst of that with Long Island, Mid-Hudson region, etc. But... I don't want to guess."

It has always been blue state blackmail of the Federal government.
What a blow hard. He is the worse governor I have heard of.
TRASH.
The coronavirus projections predicted out a few weeks and they were awful, but I'm supposed to believe the "expert's" projections about global warming that go out a few decades? Sigh.
I am sure the thousands of old folks he murdered due to his policies are satisfied now.
Yeah I think deliberately sending sick corona patients back to their nursing homes to infect everyone else had something to do with it or heck maybe Im wrong what do I know/sarc
Trump sent NY the Comfort ship, Cuomo if he wanted to could have sent those elderly corona patients to that ship to recover, they would NOT have infected anyone else, but NAH, Cuomo is a commie douche bag who wanted to see elderly die so his state could make craploads of money, that is what this was all about..every ventilation, 35K in dinero for NY
When the Left is at fault, suddenly we are all at fault. Sorry, I did not condemn nursing home patients to a lonely and unnecessary death, you did Governor Cuomo. And you should take the full weight of blame and condemnation. That is only fair and certainly just.
Cuomo didn't just fail. His state has the most causalities out of all 50 per 100000. In fact his failure goes beyond that. Per 100000 his state has the most ChiCom virus casualties in the ENTIRE WORLD. What the Rats are accusing Trump of (killing Americans with the ChiCom virus) Cuomo has actually done. Cuomo is the worlds poster boy for the largest projection ever!
That’s when you know that they know that we KNOW...when they start saying “WE” instead of “ME”. Pathetic attempt to foist group blame BY the pathetic culprit.

Cuomo blew it.
More like all the bad decisions he made.
Typical lefty COWARD.
Gov. Cuomo, the mortician. I got tired of listening to him whining around on Fox News nearly everyday. Imagine if he were President seeing and hearing him everyday. No thanks! What a loser!
5,800 died on nursing homes
Killer Cuomo and his fellow blue governor/killers of old people in nursing homes did exactly what they wanted to do: Kill off senior citizens.
If we had a real media, these guys would be locked up for mass murder of innocent grannies and grandpas.
These klowns aka Killers are in the race for worst governor! Blue governors are afraid you will not get sick!
During these trying and stressful times:
Over Drinking/eating/getting depressed at home alone is condoned by all of the governors of blue states.
If you are lucky enough to live in a red state, then go out and have a good time....
Don’t worry, he’ll be back in 6 months pontificating on his climate-change predictions.
You are a murderer, Andrew.
