If not, you don't have to try to imagine any longer...

This again is pure show - - it cannot overcome the reality of essential non-enforceability.

New York State has a homeless population equal to a small nation. Governor Cuomo will not be masking nearly 100,000 vagrants. New York City is entirely dependent on free-flowing commerce just to feed itself. While not above killing old people, the governor will not starve the residents of his largest city just to make a point. The NYPD is understaffed and able only to respond to burgeoning violent crime - - forget about misdemeanor enforcement. They'll be some hall-monitor behavior, but it will be mostly all for show.

What the mass-murdering governor has the ability to do at this point does not extend much beyond closing down schools (which he will do, cruel as it is, as a political fop to the teachers' unions) and close down the state parks (Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, etc.). But beyond that, he is toothless.

The lockdowns did not work, beyond the political distraction for which they were primarily intended.

What happened to law and order? Is that only for Antifa?

I agree that social gatherings in the home are almost unenforceable. It’s sort of like seat belts, they’re only going to cite you if they pull you over for something else (e.g. disturbing the peace).

If we are talking about law and order, then go through the proper channels and pass legislation. We don't take orders from Governors for indiscriminate amounts of time that only they are allowed to determine. How on God's green Earth are we still under emergency orders at this point? It has been almost 9 months. That is plenty of time to turn this over to legislators and let them / force them to do their jobs.
