NY Update Memorial Day: Cuomo “We all Failed” at Projections, Death Benefits for Frontline Covid Victims

The governor,  held his news briefing on the deck of the U.S.S. Intrepid, an aircraft carrier turned museum anchored at the piers along the Hudson River, specifically mentioned veterans who died of the virus.

Newsmax reported: New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo declared Monday he is getting out of the projection “business,” when asked when his state might reopen, admitting “we all failed.”

“Now, people can speculate; people can guess: ‘I think next week, I think two weeks, I think a month,” Cuomo told reporters on Memorial Day. “I’m out of that business, because we all failed at that business. Right?

“All the early national experts: ‘Here’s my projection model; here’s my projection model.’ They were all wrong.”

“During these troubling times there have been so many New Yorkers who have really risen to the challenge and done more than anyone could ask for or expect, and we want to make sure that we remember them and we thank those heroes for all that they’ve done,” Governor Cuomo said. “I personally feel a grave responsibility to our frontline and essential workers who understood the dangers of this virus, but went to work anyway because we needed them to. And we’re going to make sure that every government in the State of New York provides death benefits to those public heroes who died from COVID-19 during this emergency.
