New York governor calls an act of not wearing masks “disrespectful”

The sight of New Yorkers refusing to wear masks despite the coronavirus pandemic infecting hundreds daily is “disrespectful,” Governor Andrew Cuomo said on Sunday.

“We almost overwhelmed the whole healthcare system. So cautious moving forward and, look, how people cannot wear masks, that, to me, is even disrespectful. It’s disrespectful.” Cuomo said during a news conference attended by other state leaders around the northeast.

“It’s disrespectful to the nurses, the doctors, the people who have been front line workers, the transit workers. You wear the mask not for yourself. You wear the mask for me. It’s a sign of respect to other people. You make me sick. That’s disrespectful,”

Cuomo also announced that 280 people in New York have died due to coronavirus over the past day.
