‘Is It Worth the Risk? You Have to Make That Judgement,’ Cuomo Says Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo of New York said the impact that his order to allow gatherings of up to 10 people would have on the state’s infection rate depended on how people acted. “The number of lives lost is down to 84. Eighty-four is still a tragedy, no doubt. But the fact that it’s down as low as it is, is really overall good news. It doesn’t do any good for those 84 families that are feeling the pain. But for me, it’s just a sign that we’re making real progress. And I feel good about that.” “You signed an executive order allowing gatherings of up to 10 people. How do you think that’s going to affect the infection rate in the state and the state’s ability to reopen?” “Theoretically, it shouldn’t.” “It’s a C.D.C. guideline also, the 10 people, gatherings up to 10. And look, it’s the same answer to all of these questions, right? It depends on how people act. You can have a safe gathering of 10 people. You can also have a wholly unsafe gathering of 10 people. So, is it worth the risk? You have to make that judgment. That’s why I’m saying it has nothing to do with government at the end of the day. What is my role as governor? I have a whole operational role — get the hospitals running, get testing, get tracing, etc. But vis-à-vis people and the virus spread, I just give them the information and then say, Please hear the facts. Please exercise diligence and judgment. Please, please. And here’s what happens on you if you don’t. And here are the facts. And now you weigh the risk-reward. But if you don’t have to be with a group of 10 people, don’t be with a group of 10 people. Doesn’t mean, OK, governor signed an executive order up to 10. Let’s now have a party of 10 people. No.” #covid19 #coronavirus #andrewcuomo (at United States of America) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAmzJptD-Uu/?igshid=1gcdae0m2qcvz

Firefighters Save World War II Ship From San Francisco Pier Fire Firefighters battled a four-alarm warehouse fire on Pier 45 in San Francisco, saving the SS Jeremiah O’Brien, a historic World War II ship. We did see almost every portion of this building collapse in one area or another. Our aggressive and quick, swift actions saved the historic Jeremiah O’Brien, which, if we’re looking for one positive to come out of this tragic event, saving a historic World War II vessel at the beginning of Memorial Day weekend is something we should all be proud of as a community. #coronavirus #covid19 #sanfrancisco (at United States of America) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAmD9YJjsB0/?igshid=y38msmdvha3o

She thinks the future of fashion lies in e-commerce and spoke about the impact the current climate has had on her label: "E-comm will be everything. It is already so important and will continue to be. As will engaging with your customer in a more personable way. I've found that really interesting during this time. I've been home for almost 10 weeks and I try and connect with the community through Instagram. No matter what brand you have it is important that you have that connection." #coronavirus #covid19 #womenfashion (at United States of America) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAmCYl2DDIC/?igshid=127ttuaaa4yf6

Eid-ul-Fitr moon sightings Has the Shawwal moon been spotted in Saudi Arabia. Muslims are set to celebrate Eid al-Fitr at the end of Ramadan on Saturday or Sunday, a month of fasting during the daytime to deepen devotion to Allah. People traditionally go to mosques and have parties with friends and family on Eid-ul-Fitr - although celebrations will be very different this year due to coronavirus lockdown. Eid marks the start of the Islamic month of Shawwal, which is a month of celebration after the fasting of Ramadan. But Eid can only begin when the crescent, or Shawwal, moon is spotted in Saudi Arabia. What is Eid-ul-Fitr? Muslims thank Allah on Eid-ul-Fitr for giving them the strength to keep to their daytime fast throughout Ramadan. They may also ask for forgiveness if they broke their fast during the month.The festival is also held to give thanks to Allah for giving Muslims the Koran, the religion's holy text. The Koran provides Muslims with guidelines for living a holy life. Has the Shawwal moon been spotted? The moon has not been seen yet. In Saudi Arabia and the UAE, moon sighting committees will meet remotely on Friday evening. When it is announced that the moon has been seen, Eid-ul-Fitr celebrations can begin. #coronavirus #eidulfitr #saudiarabia (at United States of America) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAkz10gjZRA/?igshid=xh6tto370gpt

We Need More Prayer,’ Trump Says, Calling Houses of Worship ‘Essential’ President Trump urged governors to reopen houses of worship immediately, saying he would override them if they did not. His authority to do so is unclear. Today, I’m identifying houses of worship, churches, synagogues and mosques as essential places that provide essential services. Some governors have deemed liquor stores and abortion clinics as essential, but have left out churches and other houses of worship. It’s not right. So I’m correcting this injustice, and calling houses of worship “essential.” I call upon governors to allow our churches and places of worship to open right now. These are places that hold our society together, and keep our people united. The people are demanding to go to church and synagogue, go to their mosque. Many millions of Americans embrace worship as an essential part of life. The ministers, pastors, rabbis, imams and other faith leaders will make sure that their congregations are safe as they gather and pray. I know them well, they love their congregations. They love their people. They don’t want anything bad to happen to them or to anybody else. The governors need to do the right thing, and allow these very important essential places of faith to open right now, for this weekend. If they don’t do it, I will override the governors. In America, we need more prayer, not less. #covid19 #coronavirus #donaldtrumpvirus (at United States of America) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAinh8iD1bO/?igshid=4uf7w7mqptwc

Cuomo Announces Plan to ‘Bring Visitors Back to Hospitals’ Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo of New York announced a pilot program to let visits resume at some hospitals. Nassau County is now eligible for elective surgery and ambulatory care. Anyone who needs health service should get it. There’s no reason not to go to the hospital. No reason not to go to the doctor’s office, and many reasons why you should go. Denial is not a life strategy. If you have an issue, get it tested, get it resolved. We’re also looking at a pilot program over the next two weeks to start to bring visitors back to hospitals. That’s going to be run by the Greater New York Hospital Association in downstate, and Health Association of New York State, upstate. There’ll be a number of hospitals participating in that. Northwell has a number of hospitals. But this is getting visitors back into hospitals with the right precaution, with the right equipment. But it is terrible to have someone in the hospital and then that person is isolated, not being able to see their family or friends. I understand the health reasons for that. We were afraid of the virus spread. But this is a pilot project to see if we can bring visitors in and do it safely. #covid19 #coronavirus #andrewcuomo (at United States of America) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAgX89aDJdC/?igshid=11nqi6gozk3uo
