Cuomo admits stay at home for everyone not best strategy



At a press conference today, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said his stay-at-home order for the entirety of New York State was “probably not the best public health strategy.”

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. 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." 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."

Cuomo is working on producing a test that will identify coronavirus antibodies in a healthy person who has self-recovered so that they can  be cleared for work, and their plasma of antibodies can be used to treat a sick person and build an immunity to the virus in them.
