Cuomo: Stay At Home Order For All Of NY May Not Be ‘Best Public Health Strategy’
Quote:New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Thursday that his stay-at-home order for the entirety of New York State was “probably not the best public health strategy.”

In a press conference in Albany, Cuomo said the smartest way forward would be a public health strategy that complemented a “get-back-to-work strategy.”

“What we did was we closed everything down. That was our public health strategy. Just close everything, all businesses, old workers, young people, old people, short people, tall people,” said Cuomo. “Every school closed, everything.”

“If you rethought that or had time to analyze that public health strategy, I don't know that you would say quarantine everyone,” Cuomo admitted. “I don't even know that that was the best public health policy. Young people then quarantined with older people was probably not the best public health strategy because the younger people could have been exposing the older people to an infection. “

Cuomo stressed the need for both public health and economic growth. “We have to do both,” said the governor. “We’re working on it.”

At the same time, Cuomo addressed the newly released unemployment statistics, which showed 3.3 million people filed for unemployment benefits last week. Cuomo called the news a “terrible, frightening feeling for everyone.”

“This is going to form a new generation and transform who we are. You are not alone. Nobody is alone,” Cuomo assured the millions who are now out of work due to the pandemic.

Cuomo said he is working on developing a test which would identify coronavirus antibodies in a healthy person who had recovered from the virus, and after the antibodies showed they had had the virus and it was resolved, they would be able to return to work. Their plasma of antibodies could also be used to treat a sick person and build an immunity to the virus in them.

Addressing reports that New York hospitals were running out of personal protective equipment, Cuomo assured that hospitals had enough in stock for the immediate need, but not beyond. “We have enough PPE in stock for the immediate need, not past it, but for the immediate need.” He added that he was dealing with hospitals who have a need for PPE “today and tomorrow, that’s the kind of time frame we’re dealing with.”

Cuomo also lauded the outpouring of support those across the world were providing to New Yorkers. “You would be amazed at how many phone calls we get,” the governor added. He said that more than 40,000 medical staff and retired medical staff had volunteered to join the front lines and more than 8,600 mental health professionals had volunteered to offer free services for those dealing with stress and trauma.

At the time of Cuomo’s press briefing, he said that 37,000 in New York state had tested positive for coronavirus, an increase of 6,400 from the previous day. Around 18,000 tests had been administered in the last 24 hours.

Cuomo said that while the number of cases continued to go up each day, the slower rate in growth was encouraging. “'We're looking for a reduction in the rate of increase as opposed to the number of absolute cases, that's what we're looking for.”

Cuomo said that 5,000 who contracted the virus were currently hospitalized, 1,290 were in the ICU.

Cuomo said that while 80 percent who contracted the virus self-resolved without hospitalization, the state had around 53,000 hospital beds open and was working to increase that number to around 140,000.

Cuomo sung the praises of White House coronavirus expert Dr. Anthony Fauci. “Fauci has been so kind and helpful to me. I speak to professionals around the globe but he's just brilliant at this,” said the governor. “He has been so personally kind, I call him late at night, middle of the night, in the morning. He's been really a friend to me personally and to the state of New York.”

So if Trump suggests possibly lifting some restrictions in consultation with the medical experts, he wanted to kill everyone. So now what will the media say that Cuomo is also saying the same thing?


Please tell us the 'We Have No Ventilators' story again!!

RE: Cuomo: Stay At Home Order For All Of NY May Not Be ‘Best Public Health Strategy’
I don't see a need to blast Cuomo on this. He's appeared component and flexible while navigating the densest city in the U.S. (is DeBlasio even holding conferences?) through this issue. If anyplace needed to lock everything down it's NYC. If the DNC were smart, they'd find a way to get him and their candidate in NOV.

Also, I prefer Trump at the pressers. During this time I wished he'd stay off twitter as the snarkiness doesn't play that well IMO.

I dont know. Seems to me if young people are living with older people---those infections were going to happen anyway. The mass closures at least reduce the opportunities for those young people to bring the infection home from another location.
