Washington D.C. — Governor Andrew Cuomo threatened another total shutdown if coronavirus number do not improve.
“If we don’t change the trajectory, we head back to a shutdown and that is something to worry about,” he said.

All non-essential businesses would be forced to shut down as they did back in the spring.
This potential shutdown would be the worst in New York and NYC since the first lockdown in the spring.
New York businesses cannot afford another lockdown.
However, Cuomo claimed business owners “should be happy” he is eliminating jobs and destroying the businesses they built.
Cuomo does not care about the people. He is a tyrant on a power trip with no regard for anyone’s business or paycheck but his own.
This is not to say measures should not be taken to combat the Wuhan virus. It is a real threat to certain demographics.
Blindly shutting down the economy (AGAIN) will not solve the problem.
New York will likely see another devastating lockdown, and the economic consequences rest squarely on his shoulders.
