80 % Why Stay Home

I’m generally not the biggest fan of the Governor but up to the following remark I gave him marks on his Corona -Virus response.    The Governor said “About 40 to 80 percent of the state’s population is going to be infected by corona-virus,  that amounts to 7.8 million to 15.6 million New Yorkers infected.”  How does that remark encourage NY’s to follow the President Guidelines to prevent this illness?  It’s basically saying whatever you’ve done to prevent this virus is useless so why not just go out and party.  You might even conclude 8 to 10 New Yorker’s are behaving in such a reckless way that it’s basically hopeless?   Yes, Governor it’s important to create awareness and even some basic fear in my fellow NY’s hearts to prevent reckless behavior but let’s not throw in the white towel. We will get through this as tough as it might seem and G-D willing your remarks won’t make it a longer and more perilous journey along the way.
