(The Center Square) As protests against his orders shutting down the states economy went on outside the Capitol on Wednesday, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo rejected the idea that economic woes were becoming a bigger threat to state residents than the coronavirus crisis that caused the shutdown in the first place.
Wednesday's protests are part of a series of demonstrations that have taken place across the country in the past few weeks. The governor was asked during his daily briefing on the viral pandemic if he could hear the protestors outside and what he thought of their concerns.
The illness is death, Cuomo replied. How can the cure be worse than the illness if the illness is potential death?
Asked about New Yorkers who have now gone weeks without paychecks and yet still have bills and expenses to pay, the governor said that unemployment checks and federal relief checks were intended to address exactly those concerns.

Ok big mouth, lead by example.
And folks there was no lower limit to his stupidity.
The illness is death, Cuomo replied. How can the cure be worse than the illness if the illness is potential death?
The death of the economy takes us all down. It takes the nation down. It takes our security down, our healthcare down it takes away all we have invested in it and worked for. The economy is bigger than any plague much less this pissant flu.
Anyone getting a guaranteed paycheck who is quacking in public about continuing the shutdown needs to STFU.
So, STFU, Andy.
I don’t think the pols are getting it. These protesters are not all Republicans or all conservatives; there are hard-working folks of all stripes that want to work hard again.
Not sure how that’s gonna play out in the long run.
Yet another tone deaf “Let Them Eat Cake” moment from a demonRAT politician.
And here I thought Ice Cream Antoinette was bad.
What a puke.
These people want to go back to THEIR jobs. What a scum.
Every government worker votes for Democrats. This is a war between the Government and Private Sector.
Nobody impacted by this pandemic saw it coming. Legally speaking, we need to be made whole if weve lost our jobs because of this unforeseen event. Unemployment and the stimulus need to equal the incomes lost and they need to be made available immediately, not months down the line. None of us asked for or caused this ridiculous shutdown, and we shouldnt have to empty our savings accounts just to survive!
Yes
And Trump needs to capture that in an Ad called Every American Worker is Essential
“Cuomo to quarantine protesters: ‘Go take a job as an essential worker’”
well, at least he didn’t tell them to go eat ice cream ...
Nope, not in NY
Any idiot that can go in front of the cameras everyday and complain about what the Feds are not giving him...can fill the role
You have been deemed unessential Andy Pandy. You need to be erased.
Jobs that are already filled by current workers.
NYers should do like they did to DeBasshole! Send him dick pics and worse!
Let them eat ice cream.
