Andrew Cuomo on Testing: ‘We Don’t Have That Issue in New York’

‘I’ve been working with a number of local governments and I’m seeing that issue across the country’

EXCERPT:

CUOMO: “So I welcome the President's posture. I welcome what he said about masks now, urging Americans to wear masks. I would like to see him to take the next step, which is a federal Executive Order on masks. The health experts that advise the White House have said 40,000 more Americans will die because we don’t have a mask policy. I mean, as incredible as that is, if you can sign a piece of paper that will save the life of 40,000 Americans, why wouldn’t you do that? On the testing, there is now a significant delay in many states on the testing results. That means the testing numbers you get today, the results you get today are not really results from yesterday. They could be eight days ago, ten days ago, so they could actually be misleading. We don’t have that issue in New York, but I’ve been working with a number of local governments and I’m seeing that issue across the country."
