At his daily coronavirus press briefing, Governor Cuomo welcomed actor Rosie Perez and comedian Chris Rock to promote his “stay safe” message to New Yorkers.
To impress upon New Yorkers the necessity of following pandemic guidelines even as COVID-19 numbers start to decline in the state, New York governor Andrew Cuomo brought out the big guns on Thursday: actor Rosie Perez and comedian Chris Rock.
When it came time for Rock to speak from the socially distanced dais, he began by glancing down at his microphone and saying, almost longingly, “We haven’t been able to perform or do any shows. So I’m looking at this microphone and thinking, Wow. Can I just say, hi, microphone, I’ve missed you,” adding, “I will never take you for granted again.” Then he repeated the message from Perez—“people need to get tested”—while adding a new spin on the procedure, saying “make it a festive occasion.
Added Perez: “I see hipsters and yuppies walking around without a mask. What is it, arrogance? Do you think you’re not going to be affected? Okay, fine, but you’re affecting me too. That I really do not understand.” In addition to welcoming Rock and Perez to the briefing , Cuomo declared that New York City has not met the thresholds needed to begin the first phase of reopening. This comes even as regions of upstate are moving toward the second phase of loosening lockdown provisions that have been in place for more than two months.
