New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo told reporters on Monday that he will no longer speculate on the coronavirus because every predictions from experts was incorrect.
Speaking at a press conference at the Intrepid Sea, Air, and Space Museum, Cuomo was asked when New York City might reopen based on the data he has available. The Democratic governor responded by saying he would not try to project when deaths and hospitalizations would drop to the necessary rate because "we all failed" at predicting those numbers.
"Now, people can speculate. People can guess. I think next week, I think two weeks, I think a month," Cuomo said. "I'm out of that business because we all failed at that business. Right? All the early national experts. Here's my projection model. Here's my projection model. They were all wrong. They were all wrong."
