Governor Cuomo: ‘You Could Literally Kill Someone’ by Not Wearing a Mask

‘We owe each other a certain amount of reasonableness and respect in society’

EXCERPT:

CUOMO: “Do I think local government should be enforcing it? And should there be sanctions? Yes. Yes. Because it is a public health emergency. You know, this is not just do me a favor. This is a public health emergency and it’s a statewide order that I put in place that I’m proud of. And local governments have the responsibility to enforce it and part of their right, their legal right, is they can have a penalty or a sanction that they impose. You could literally kill someone because you didn’t want to wear a mask. I mean, how cruel and irresponsible would that be?"
