Cuomo: The Economy Is ‘Closed Down for Those … Who Have the Luxury of Staying at Home’

‘The economy did not close down’

EXCERPT:

CUOMO: “The economy closed down. The economy did not close down. It closed down for those people who frankly have the luxury of staying at home. All those essential workers who had to get up every morning to put food on the shelves and go to the hospital to provide healthcare under extraordinary circumstances and police officers who had to go out and keep you safe and firefighters who still had to go out and fight the fire -- those people work and they went out there and expose themselves to the virus. Two-thirds of those front-line workers are women, one-third come from low income households.”
