Not sure if shutting everything down was best health strategy

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. “

I’m so old I remember when Trump was accused of being a raving, ignorant murderer for even considering easing the restrictions based on county-by-county analysis of the fifty states. Oh, that was this morning.

it will be interesting to see if the Democrat house organ, the media, now refuses to broadcast Cuomos’ press conferences, as it has Trump’s at MSNBC, CNN, and NPR, for “telling lies and spreading false hope”.
