NEW YORK (WABC) -- Is a close-down possible in January in New York state? Governor Andrew Cuomo says yes. "First of all, anything is possible," Cuomo said. "Second of all, look at the increases nationally, of course it is possible. You already see other states closing down. Big states closing down. Why are they closing down and we are not? Their numbers are higher than our numbers." Cuomo, however, says there's a "big but." "But no one knows because it is up to us," he said. "What will happen in three weeks? What will happen in four weeks? You tell me what you are going to do what you are going to over the next three or four weeks, and I will tell you what is going to happen. We know there has been an increase over the past weeks, but that doesn't determine what happens going forward. It depends on what you do and that is where we are. New Yorkers can stop a shutdown. New Yorkers can save lives. It depends on what we do. New Yorkers are good at doing."
