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 was in a Home Depot recently w/o a mask....some woman - about 15 feet away - says “you should wear a mask” , I smiled and politely said “you should mind your own business”

“I’ve been clearing out elevators since March of last year.”

Heck, depending on what I’ve had for lunch, I’ve cleared elevators going back decades.

“New Yorkers need to be protected against the continuing threat of this virus. The earliest date I can see us not having to use masks is at the end if 2051.”

Just say “NO,” New Yorkers. This crap ends when the people say it does. Not the government. Enough with this mask theater nonsense.
