"Better late than never" stays true, but when you're fighting against an invisible enemy (because of little testing) that invades exponentially quickly, "late" will unfortunately have a high human lives cost associated to it.

#6There is currently no plan in place to penalize individuals for gathering socially
Then people won't take the rules seriously.
Lots of people in this country still don't believe or understand how much damage this virus can inflict.

Cuomo loves half-measures and taking credit for not doing much of anything.
There's no force of law behind this order.
Earlier this week he announced "mortgage relief," but its means-tested and difficult to actually navigate. It won't help.
A year or 2 ago he rolled out his "free college for every new yorker" plan. It benefits about 10% of the population.
Cuomo's only skill is talking a big game. He's exactly as bad as most other neolibs.

Legally, does the state and federal goverment have the power to control the movement of people?
Does the state have the power to control my movement from my own home to the end of the street for my daily walk?

Even if people meet socially outside of work, they still aren't _required_ to go to work. Which means a lot of people can practice social distancing. People are scared, many will avoid groups (others may throw parties, but can't help that).
I know in my neighborhood, everyone is outside but we are all maintaining 2 meter distance. Some neighbors even brought up their grills and stayed seperate but can talk (at a distance).
