Governor Andrew Cuomo blamed The Post on Sunday for the growing coronavirus cases in Florida and Arizona.
“The Wall Street Journal, New York Post: They keep hitting a horse that is dead: ‘We should reopen the economy faster in New York'”, the infection rate is low; reopen faster, ” Cuomo told reporters during a conference call first thing in the morning.
“The infection rate is low because we have carried out an intelligent and phased reopening. What they defend has been shown to be wrong and a failure, “continued the governor.
Florida heard the New York Post. Texas listened to the Wall Street Journal. Arizona listened to the Wall Street Journal and the New York Post. That was wrong. That was wrong.”
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis finalized the order to stay at his state’s home on April 29, according to CNN.
The order to stay home in Arizona expired on May 15. Governor Doug Ducey allowed the barbershop and salons to reopen on May 8, followed by indoor restaurants on May 11.
New York, where the virus has killed more than 32,000 people, many in nursing homes, which Cuomo controversially demanded to admit or readmit patients recovering from COVID-19 discharged from hospitals, began a phase of reopening their economy in early June.
Only 500 New Yorkers tested positive for COVID-19 on Saturday, and three more people died, Cuomo said.
In comparison, Florida saw 12,199 new cases, according to Johns Hopkins University. Arizona saw 3,740 new cases.
