Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Thursday extended his statewide shutdown of non-essential functions to May 15, as coronavirus hospitalizations continued to level off — but over 600 new deaths were reported.
“New York PAUSE has worked,” said Cuomo of the lockdown during an Albany press briefing. “That’s how we control the beast.
“However, we’re not there yet.”
In order to prevent the disease from mounting a comeback, the governor extended the policy for another month, a decision that he said was made in consultation with other regional states New York has allied with to plan an eventual economic revival.
“I don’t want to project beyond that period,” he said. “One month is a long time. People need certainty and clarity so they can plan.”

Mario’s stupid son is at it again. It is the American people, not the government who will decide when this lockdown is over. You can’t arrest millions of people who have had it with this bullshit.
The natives are getting restless.

Of course he did. The “two more weeks” crap will start now. Next just two more..then two more...Dr Doom and Deborah started that push last week. Of course he used the lives versus money BS.

2 Weeks at a time, pretty soon it’s August or September.
There won’t be anything left.

Didn’t NY admit that the 4000 COVID-19 deaths added yesterday never tested? Ridiculousness ensues.

If the deceased had a cough, it’s counted as Covid. Pure bullshit.
