New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo criticized New York City residents on Monday at a press conference for failing to properly distance themselves socially to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.

“People, especially in New York City, the level of activity is up,” Cuomo reported during his daily coronavirus press briefing.

Partially the weather … made it a nice day. I understand that people have been locked up for some time, but now is not the time to be lax,” he said. “It is a mistake.”

Cuomo urged local governments to do more to enforce social distancing rules and raise the fine for violating the protocols from $500 to $1,000.

“All the anecdotal evidence is people are violating it at a higher rate than before,” he said.

Cuomo cautioned all New Yorkers not to underestimate the threat posed by the virus.

“This is an enemy that we have underestimated from day one, and we have paid the price dearly,” he said.

Obvious code-speak for one group of people. We all know who he's talking about. Dog whistle time.

NYC turns out to be the problem here in the USA.

They need to do a bunch more navel gazing.

Fredo’s brother is going to need a lot more illegals.

It certainly doesn't make sense that two people can get fined for being closer to six feet from one another on the street but then get into the same subway car together and have that rule go out the window.

If there were any real journalists at his press briefings, one of them would put that question to him.

I hate to tell Andrew but the boardwalk at Jones Beach was active with non-social distancers today.

the turd is running for President and using the deaths for his election.

Eventually, both Cuomo and Phil Murphy (NJ) are going to have to relax these restrictions for the simple reason that people are going to relax them on their own and nobody will take either of them (or anyone else) seriously the next time.

sadly we're a decade or three past any hope of that.

worse, many [most] people lack critical thinking skills required to question propaganda coming from the media/government.
