Andrew Cuomo said Wednesday he is ordering all people to wear a face covering while in public as the state works to combat the nations worst coronavirus outbreak. The executive order will take effect after a three-day grace period, Cuomo said at his daily news conference in Albany. He said the economy wont be able to make a full comeback until theres a vaccine, which scientists have said will take up to a year and a half. Its over when people know Im 100% safe and I dont have to worry about this. When does that happen? When we have a vaccine? he said. Until you have a vaccine, until you have the medical treatment, what do you do? How are you building the bridge? Well, its going to be a phased reopening. Part of that phased reopening is requiring people to wear face masks, he said. Local governments would enforce the order, but fines wont be issued at this time, he said. It would apply to people on public transit, including subways and buses, as well as in public spaces like grocery stores, he said. It would even apply to people walking on the sidewalk. The covering can be a bandana or scarf as long as it covers their nose and mouth. Youre right to go out for a walk in the park, go out for a walk because you need to get out of the house. The dog is getting on your nerves, fine. Dont infect me. You dont have a right to infect me, he said. --- "We'll never see Day-Lewis and Kubrick, or Kurosawa and Eastwood, but we have seen Bale and Nolan, a cinematic dream pairing come to life!" ...
