Gov. Cuomo pleasure to be with you. Today is day 62. Feels like just yesterday. Before we look at the numbers, i just want people to recall the context for these numbers and remember what we have accomplished. We were faced with this decision where the infection rate numbers were going straight up. Thatwas only 30 days ago cases, thenumber of infection rate, everything was going straight up.

But the governor said that he has been studying the situation and that there has been a noticeable gap that they have been able to see that as best as the parents are trying with home school its still not the same as the kids inside the classrooms with their teachers and a lot of communities have been hurt more than others including some communities of color and people who have parents who have to work so theyre not home physically watching over their children. So thats why the gap has been growing by the day and the governor says they just cant waste any time. And thats why instead of just waiting for the fall just a try to get ahead of this and slowdown that gap a little bit.
