After Forcing Thousands Of Business To Shut Down, Cuomo Now Says The ‘Cost’ Of Staying Closed Is ‘Too High’
“We must reopen the economy, but we must do it smartly and safely.”
After forcing thousands of small businesses to shut down — with some closing permanently — Democratic New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said “the cost is too high” to remain closed much longer.
“We simply cannot stay closed until the vaccine hits critical mass. The cost is too high. We will have nothing left to open,” the governor tweeted. “We must reopen the economy, but we must do it smartly and safely.”
Just last month Cuomo announced that all indoor dining in New York City would be banned, claiming the risk associated with the practice was “too high.”
