Effective on Monday, indoor dining in New York City will be shut down, per Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s orders.
Indoor dining will close in New York City starting Monday.
Hospitalizations have not stabilized, and with a rising infection rate and NYC’s density, this means that indoor dining is too high of a risk.
Takeout, delivery and outdoor dining will continue.

Indoor dining hasn’t really accounted for a huge percentage of COVID19 cases, so what gives? Surely Cuomo must have a good explanation for this decision, right?
Why close indoor dining in NYC, even if it accounts for a small share (1.43%) of identified coronavirus infections?

Wait … that’s it? That’s the best he can come up with?
This is not a convincing rationale. https://t.co/LiMwcvgrc4

Not really, no.

How does Cuomo suffer with these businesses? https://t.co/dvxORNJAC6

Don’t expect him to get back to you on that.
Cuomo isn't suffering from any of this. He's profiting from it, and soaking in the praise from his moronic boosters in the media. https://t.co/8R6inpVOd1

"I suffer every dollar lost with these businesses" says governor still getting a paycheck and hawking a book about his amazing leadership. https://t.co/COiC3rInqX

He didn’t ask for any of this, you guys.

So he's donating his book profits to them or no?

As if! He can’t afford it! He’s suffering, too! Maybe even more than restaurant owners and employees! Probably a lot more, actually, because it’s hard governing a state while also promoting your book and being a pompous jackass.
