NY Gov. Cuomo thinks we’ll ‘NEVER return to normal’ as flags flown at half-mast to honor coronavirus victims
NEW York Governor Andrew Cuomo said he thinks the U.S. will "never return to normal" after announcing flags are to be flown at half-mast to commemorate the coronavirus victims.
Cuomo made the comments at a press briefing Wednesday as the state experienced the highest single-day virus death toll of 779 in one day.
";I don’t think we [will ever] return to normal," Cuomo said, after revealing coronavirus killed at least 6,268 residents versus the 2,753 lives lost in the September 11, 2001.
Cuomo noted said coronavirus eclipsing 9/11 in this state is "almost unimaginable."
"How do you square those two things?" he asked. "We’re making progress [but] we lost more people than every before on a single day."
His office will also be launching a social media campaign to encourage people to remain home as the New York politician revealed he was doing it for his mom, Matilda.
“It’s incredibly difficult to deal with,” he added. “Every number is a face and that’s been painfully obvious to me.”
Cuomo acknowledged that low-income, minority communities appeared to be disproportionately impacted by the killer virus, however.
