https://www.cnbc.com/2020/04/15/new-york-gov-cuomo-to-order-all-people-to-wear-masks-or-face-coverings-in-public.html

New York Gov. 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.

They always knew.

was to avoid changing things for you and me too "quickly" and disrupting us too quickly. They are gradually bringing us over to the new normal.

I don't get it, why are you trying to act tough against a virus? You can't intimidate a virus and make it scared of you, it doesn't care. That's why it's important to protect yourself and loved ones.

Why are you so adamant about this issue?

Duncan doesn't care how many people die, all he cares about is his own personal inconvenience.

The mask you wear doesn't protect you, it protects others in the area if you have germs. There's really no point to wearing one if not coughing.

What a stupid fucking post. Do you really still not know that you can spread symptoms through breathing for up to 2 weeks before showing symptoms?

So there's no other means of transportation?

More buses would be better, since you can actually open up windows and ****.

You know literally nothing about NYC, do you

Know more than your dumb comment on States reducing the number of buses being a bright idea, cept for the fact state officials did a 180 when it turns out less buses running = more crowding.

So perhaps you should shut up.

Masks dont protect you. They protect everyone else.

You can tell Cumo is stressed and losing it.

I understand enforcing masks in public places like the grocery stores. But outside when people are walking? Thats fucking ridiculous.

some of the areas walked is crowded.
some of the areas don't have 6 feet distance between each path.

edit: probably be some leeway to outside regulations, i don't wear a mask if there's no one outside but likely will if it become airborne in the winter.

Right, it may be necessary in New York. Where i live, theres a lot of open space so i could just go walk outside right now with no mask and no fear of getting the virus.

I still believe outside to be too vague though. Sure, you are right and Im sure theres areas outside that are crowded. But i just imagine being outside in an open park where there is clearly enough space for everyone to distance, are they really going to enforce the rule then?

Id just like some more structure to these new rules, you gotta think through these questions people are obviously going to ask.

Right now its like Cuomo is a man running around like his hair is on fire everyone wear masks always, no exceptions! Dude is losing credibility quickly.

bandana + hair ties = mask
scarf around mouth and nose = mask
even a sewing kit with cloth = mask

have to make em from help with others or self whichever you choose.
