Well, if it spreads across the state, he can justify keeping the lock down going longer. Which he wants to do to the ENTIRE state even though most of the areas outside of NYC have very low death rates.
What he announced today about his plan to reopen NY is simply a disaster. And it picks winners - unions, wink, wink. I am not saying anything against unions, but Dem politicians will put them at the head of the line every time. Now is no exception.
We will be able to see some businesses start to operate in upstate regions on May 15. Construction and light manufacturing. That’s it. Cuomo will wait two weeks, then assess the COVID19 levels over the next 2 weeks (I think that’s how he explained it) then if all looks good to Gov. Cuomo, he will select a couple more types of businesses to be allowed to re open. Then after two weeks, he assesses the COVID19 levels again, and on and on.

This and all of your thoughts are excellent!
