Gov. Cuomo says NY isn’t ready to follow federal advice on going maskless

Pandemic-weary New Yorkers had their hopes deflated Thursday when Gov. Andrew Cuomo said he wasn’t ready to ease the state’s mask mandate — even though the feds gave the green light for vaccinated Americans to finally show their faces and gather indoors again.

In a late-afternoon statement, Cuomo said he and Health Commissioner Howard Zucker had yet to decide if the Empire State would adopt newly announced guidelines from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

“In New York, we have always relied on the facts and the science to guide us throughout the worst of this pandemic and in our successful reopening,” Cuomo said.

“We have received the newly revised guidance from the CDC regarding mask wearing and social distancing for those with vaccinations and are reviewing them in consultation with Dr. Zucker and our partners and health experts in surrounding states.”

I'm what counts out here! Not your HHS or your CDC!

No matter how much longer you make everyone wear masks you can’t bring back the nursing home victims from the dead.

Follow the science. Time to take away the power of this arrogant piece of cr**.

I’d like to see Wilhelm declare maskless in NYC just to piss Il Duce off.

Cuomo isn’t about to give you your freedoms.

I'll give until tomorrow for Murphy, Lamont and Cuomo to get together and make an announcement. If nothing...

[Col Frank Slade]

Lamont will do whatever the others tell him to do.

Al Franken, resigned because of a picture. Andrew Cuomo, 10 thousand elderly dead, harassment charges from more than 10 individuals-—still in power.

This past Monday, for the first time since this whole scam started, an old man accosted me when I was stepping into an elevator at the medical center where I had an appointment. I say old man, because I'm an old lady...almost 74. He and his wife were on the elevator that was going down. There is a sign on the elevator door that says only two people should be on the elevator at one time. I really didn't give a $hit about what the sign said as I had just had a second cortisone shot in my back, and wasn't about to walk down the stairs, so I entered the elevator. The old fart stepped forward and immediately said: "It says only two at a time." And I told him: "Well that's too bad, because I'm not walking down the stairs, or waiting for the only elevator here to get back to me." I told him he wasn't a cop, and shouldn't try to be one. He hemmed and hawed, and then said: "Well, that's what the paper on the door says." I told him, that piece of paper isn't the law, so you've no need to say anything at all to anybody. It's none of your business." He shut up completely.

While our conversation was going on, the door was still open, and another elderly woman came into the elevator, making a total of four. She caught our conversation, and gave me a wink, and a nod.
