Cuomo: “After everything we went through, it’s just dumb not to wear a mask”

When it comes to the flu, the flu is a complicating situation, it’s the same type of symptoms as COVID. The best thing to do on flu is everyone should get vaccinated now … everyone should do it, you should do it now. For the fall, let’s learn from the summer. We’ve been through hell and back. Let’s learn the lessons, and one of the basic lessons, if you don’t wear a mask at this point it’s just dumb – it’s just dumb. You’ve heard from every health official, you’ve seen the data that showed people in emergency rooms – nurses and doctors in emergency rooms have a lower infection rate than the general population. There’s no answer to that but PPE. None. Not to wear a mask is dumb. It’s dumb for yourself and it’s dumb for everyone else. “How can you say that it’s such a harsh word? ‘Dumb,’ it’s not gubernatorial."” Because it’s dumb. I don’t know what else to say. I’ve used every other word. “Please, look at the data, I beseech you, I ask you to do it out of community spirit, I ask you to do it as a good citizen, I ask you to do it because Dr. Fauci recommends it and the CDC recommends it and every health official recommends it.” Now I’m saying at this point, after everything we went through, it’s just dumb not to wear a mask.
