One Simple Statistic Shows Cuomo Is Destroying NYC’s Restaurant Industry For No Reason
The figure alone reveals that the governor’s crushing mandate banning in-person dining has no basis in reality.
At least 4,500 restaurants in New York City have permanently closed their doors in the wake of COVID-19 lockdowns. Thanks to Governor Andrew Cuomo’s latest dictate, that number looks sure to surge.
Amid rising COVID-19 cases, the Democrat ordered an end to all indoor dining in New York City starting on Monday. NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio has fully supported this mandate.
Cuomo’s decision to follow through on his threat to shut down restaurants has received enormous backlash, in part because its very basis is undercut by the governor’s own data. Restaurants and bars have driven only 1.4 percent of New York’s COVID-19 cases, according to the state’s contact tracing program. Meanwhile, private personal gatherings have driven nearly 75 percent of the state’s COVID-19 spread.
So Cuomo is shutting down an industry—crushing small businesses and putting service workers out of a job—that is only making a minuscule contribution to the spread of COVID-19. (After all, restaurants have operated at reduced capacity, required mask-wearing, heightened sanitization protocols, and more.)
Understandably, restaurateurs were infuriated by the governor’s arbitrary and baseless order.
“We’ve been following everything that they gave us — the guidelines, we changed our air filter systems, we do the protocols of taking temperatures, getting people to sign the [contact tracing] papers, everything from A to Z,” one restaurant owner told the New York Post. “It’s just not right you have small businesses that are day to day surviving, and day to day they’re trying to pay the bills and day to day trying to feed their staff who are trying to feed their kids.”Cuomo is shutting down an industry—crushing small businesses and putting service workers out of a job—that is only making a minuscule contribution to the spread of COVID-19.
“The government is shutting us down without actually justifying it with hardcore facts,” another restaurateur added. “We didn’t do anything to deserve a complete destruction of our business.”
The toll this dictate will have on small business and the New York economy is beyond our ability to fully measure. However, according to Eater, 54 percent of New York restaurateurs said in a late November survey they may have to close down in the next six months. That was before this shutdown order...
Think about it like this: The spike in COVID-19 cases is being driven by large household gatherings without social distancing or mask-wearing. Closing restaurants down removes one of the only options New Yorkers have left to socialize in a public, well-spaced, ventilated setting. It will almost certainly prompt more people to shift their gatherings to private settings that are actually less safe from a COVID-19 perspective.
So all the economic destruction and pain being imposed comes from a policy that will likely only make the virus’s spread worse. This from the same Governor Cuomo who wrote a book about how excellently he handled the COVID-19 pandemic before it was even close to over. -

This shows how far the so-called elites that are supposed to be leaders have fallen. Gupta hardly represents a country that is supposed to be the land of the free and the home of the brave. The toss in the total lack of concern about the actal science. This is just absolutely craven behavior. Gupta is getting paid and he has no interest in or a desire to understand the problems of those who aren't. You can see the split here on the Tug. Absolutely scared sh*tless behavior by "adults". Rather than be content with protecting themselves, they want the misery spread to everyone so they can feel better. That describes the dazzler to a T.alumni94 said: -
