Cuomo warns 80% will get virus over ‘9 months’ as Mnuchin tells 80m to prepare for 12-week shutdown

NEW York Governor Andrew Cuomo has warned that 80% of New York state's population could become infected with the coronavirus and said the crisis could last as long as nine months.

Cuomo’s stark assessment came hours after Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin warned that the lockdown, currently impacting 80 million people across the country, could last 12 weeks.

Speaking at a press conference Sunday, Cuomo also slammed “arrogant” groups who are still socializing despite orders to stay at home as virus cases soar.

“You would think there is nothing going on in parts of New York City. You would think that it was just a bright, sunny Saturday,” he said.

“I was in these parks. You would not know that anything was going on. This is a mistake. It’s insensitive, it’s arrogant, it’s self-destructive, it’s disrespectful to other people, and it has to stop now.”

The Governor said that he has ordered NYC officials to develop a plan to reduce density in the city, and suggested that streets could be closed off to vehicles so people could spread out.

80 PER CENT

Speaking about the length and severity of the crisis, Cuomo said 80% of the state's population could get sick and the crisis could last till Christmas.

“This is not a short term situation," he said. "This is not a long weekend. This is not a week. The timeline, no one can tell you. It depends on how we handle it.

“But 40 per cent up to 80 per cent of the population will wind up getting this virus.

“All we’re trying to do is slow the spread, but it will spread, it is that contagious.”
He added: “It is going to be four months, six months, nine months… It’s in that range.”

I’m not arguing that lots of people will get it. Some will have no symptoms; some rather mild; some will be very ill, young will likely recover; older gets dicier.

I hate to say this. In New York State, the lion’s share of cases is in NYC, Long Island, and downstate counties.

There should be a travel ban to and from these areas to the Upstate to prevent its spread.

But there will not likely be one, so its likely there will be more cases upstate. In addition, Cuomo is also looking to move patients from the affected areas to the Upstate. I don’t find this a good development.

There will be NOTHING LEFT of our nation and economy if this drags on for 12 weeks. There WILL be anarchy.

I think this is it folks. Unless this malaria drug works, we're in for a world of hurt. The vast majority of Americans can't hold out that long, and our government can't help them all.

Predictions like this are pure draconian. Cuomo might as well say, GET READY FOR ANARCHY.

Let’s do some math

Population of New York State is 19.5 million
80% of that is 16 million (approximately)
So New York State is headed for 16 million cases?

Let’s see here
China’s total number of cases... 82,000...
Italy .... 64,000
US .... 42,000

We are in total lockdown, that will keep infection rate down.

After making hyperbolic statements like that, I have to question the veracity of anything Cuomo says

They, dem/lib/media and globalists are all for instilling as much fear as possible-as fear is a great motivator.
Far greater motivator than even reward is ..
Thus the more fear the more the government, gets to grab more and more power over we citizens.
Cuomo the asshole is all for that being that he is nothing but liberal scum.
He cares more for power and his political ideology than he does for the citizens he is sworn to protect and serve, (as all dem/libs do)..
Those with a keen eye get to see just who and what these ffing filthy liberal/dem scum truly are.. -Tyr

This definitely a Bernie/socialist AND anarchist wet dream.
