NEW YORK (1010 WINS) – Gov. Andrew Cuomo included an emotional tribute to New York's months-long fight against the coronavirus at his final daily briefing on Friday.
The three-minute video, narrated with clips from Cuomo's briefings over the past 111 days, includes photos and video from throughout the crisis.
The video starts back in March, when cases and deaths were rising rapidly and New York City was the worst-hit area of the country.
The montage includes images from the lockdown, when New Yorkers were cheering each night for health care workers on the frontlines of overwhelmed hospitals.
"Ten years from now, you'll be talking about today to your children or you grandchildren," Cuomo says at one point in the video. "And you will shed a tear, because you will remember the lives lost and you'll remember the faces and you'll remember the names. You'll remember how hard we worked and that we still lost loved ones."
The video ends with residents returning to the streets as the outbreak begins to subside.
"New York loves everyone. That's why I love New York," Cuomo says as the video concludes. "And at the end of the day, my friends—even if it is a long day, and this is a long day—love wins. Always."
