Think that sounds crazy? Well, think again, because it may very well explain this:
Cuomo jokes that people on Ebola quarantine could read his book while under quarantine.

Yeah, he’d have to be joking. Because no person — sick or otherwise — would willingly subject themselves to something like that except as a last resort.
Now, in the interest of fairness, here’s what Cuomo said, in full context:
That full Cuomo quote (1/2): “I'm asking those people who were in cotnact with infected people: stay at home for 21 days. We will pay."
— Jimmy Vielkind (@JimmyVielkind) October 27, 2014
Cuomo (2/2): "Enjoy your family, enjoy your friends, read a book—read my book—you don't have to read my book, but stay at home for 21 days."
— Jimmy Vielkind (@JimmyVielkind) October 27, 2014
Too bad Cuomo can’t stay home, too.

@JimmyVielkind @irin Based on sales numbers, may be Cuomo's only hope for readers.

@JimmyVielkind @irin First, he's a public health expert, issuing quarantines. Now he's prescribing sedatives?
— Robbin Moore (@RobbinMoore) October 27, 2014
Hey-oh!
There may actually be more people in quarantine than have bought Andrew Cuomo's book.

We wouldn’t be surprised. This wouldn’t shock us, either:
