New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) warned New Yorkers on Monday to limit their social gatherings to curb the spread of the Chinese coronavirus, stating that increased infections, resulting in lower hospital capacity, will trigger regions to close down.
Cuomo provided an update on Monday, stressing the importance of sufficient hospital capacity, categorizing it as the “redline.”
“You are limited ultimately to your hospital capacity,” he said, noting that no region, currently, has less than 30 percent capacity. When any region gets within “striking distance” of 15 percent, it is “going to be a red zone, closed down for that region,” the New York governor said.
“If the infection rate increases, then the region closes. And that’s the last thing anybody wants. So if you don’t want that, then don’t bemoan reality,” he said, urging New Yorkers to “do something about it.”
“Be smart and reduce the infection rate,” he said.
“How do we defeat COVID? We defeat COVID the way we been controlling COVID for the past year,” he continued, contending that it is a “function of our activity” while defending his plea for New Yorkers to avoid social gatherings whenever possible.
“It is the social gatherings. I know people say, ‘How can you say we shouldn’t gather socially?’ I understand. We are social beings. I understand the hospitals. But it’s how you do it. It’s how you do it,” he repeated.
“Are you safe? Are you doing as much as you can outdoors? Are you wearing a mask? Are you keeping windows open? Are you keeping the crowds small?

I’m really surprised someone hasn’t gone postal on Cuomo.
Tomorrow he will give a presentation on how to use the government issued rice cookers.
Nice Bath House advertisement...
Why is this man not in prison?
New Yorkers, you are warned! If you do not obey me, I will do even more of what has not worked to stop this virus!
Are you safe...?
Asks the guy who’s closing 3 prisons.
Hell no, but it ain’t cuz of WuFlu.
The Great White Ape speaks: “Ooga Booga masks...red zones...duh...lockdowns...”
Oh look, it’s Andy and randy....
And Cuomo just announced the new strain is in Saratoga County.
Meh.
SPJNK.
It is clear that this, in fact, is what is happening in our Republic.
Every time Newsom the Vile in California issues a new edict, Cuomo the Killer in New York tries to one-up him ... and the same goes for horse-face Whitmer in Michigan and the idiot governors in New Jersey, Oregon, Washington ... you name it!
This competition is real ... and it won't stop until these governors are FORCED to stop cancelling the Constitution and even denying us our -- formerly, it has become increasingly clear -- our unalienable rights in the Declaration.
This tyrant competition has become much more dangerous to life, liberty, society and economy than the Communist Chinese Covid Cooties has been and could never be!
CUOMOS are GOING DOWN.
But Cuomo also said HE will attend the Buffalo Bills playoff game
Maybe he’ll be like DeBlabbo at Times Square New Years Eve....a lonely boy in the club suites?
Best reply and BOL of the day.
They count COVID deaths like they count ballots. Plenty of fakers are thrown in.
Oh, he been talking to NV gov sissypants?
When during a flu season do we have as much as 15 percent capacity.
I know that there were ER holds in the largest hospital in the state for lack of capacity for days four years ago during the last significant flu season here.
