This simply isn't true and very poor reporting. They can tell from the strain of virus that the west coast was infected by Asia and NY and Florida via Europe. Most of it wasn't NY'ers going to Florida but rather European vacationers traveling to NY & Florida.
"Andrew Cuomo’s dubious bid to keep the wealthy from fleeing New York" we have two different NYC refugees on our road, both college professors. They each say as long as they can do their classes virtually, they're not going back. https://nypost.com/2020/08/05/andrew-cuomos-dubious-bid-to-keep-the-wealthy-from-fleeing-new-york/ Andrew Cuomo’s dubious bid to keep the wealthy from fleeing New York By Post Editorial Board August 5, 2020 | 7:47pm When it comes to socking New York’s economy with tax hikes, Gov. Andrew Cuomo gets it — for now. Unlike with his no-end-in-sight COVID restrictions. “I literally talk to people all day long who are in their Hamptons house who also lived here . . . or in their Connecticut weekend house, and I say, ‘You gotta come back,’ ” he related. He even offered to cook dinner. No luck; they’re not returning. Instead, they’re thinking: “If I stay there, I pay a lower income tax, because they don’t pay the New York City surcharge,” he added. Cuomo’s right: Some of the city’s wealthiest neighborhoods lost as many as 40 percent of their residents between March and May, thanks to the COVID-19 outbreak. And new levies — a billionaires’ tax, an ultra-millionaires’ tax, etc. are among several ideas Dems are eyeing to plug Albany’s $30 billion two-year budget hole — will only push the rich to flee permanently. Taking their tax money with them. It’s no coincidence, after all, that New York, where “1 percent of the population pays 50 percent of the taxes,” as Cuomo notes, has been steadily losing residents. So kudos to him for standing up to his own party. But will he knuckle under later? Remember Cuomo’s “no new taxes” vow in 2011? “You are kidding yourself if you think you can be one of the highest-taxed states” and have “a rosy economic future.” Nor would he fold: “That everybody wants [the millionaires’ tax] doesn’t mean all that much. . . . I’m not going to go back and forth with the political winds.” Yet he soon did, reimposing a form of that tax. It still exists today. Worse, he’s now killing the economy by endlessly prolonging COVID-19 restrictions, like indoor dining. Indeed, as The Post reports, he doesn’t even have any metrics — let alone a plan — for when the state will more fully reopen. Those rules not only hurt the economy and deprive government of tax revenue; they also keep the wealthy from returning. Mayor Bill de Blasio’s comments Wednesday — that he, too, has no real timeline but can’t see more reopenings until after Labor Day, at least — only sap the economy further. Forget about people returning to the city; the question is how many more will leave?
the only two deaths in our county are two NYC nursing home cases that were shipped out to die upstate. They apparently don't count as "nursing home deaths." good job, Cuomo. "How Many Nursing Home Deaths Did NY Have? We Have No Idea": https://hotair.com/archives/jazz-shaw/2020/08/11/many-nursing-home-deaths-ny-no-idea/
Cuomo literally has the worst results in the country. People on this forum are bagging on Greg Abbott, whose state has less that 20% of the deaths that NY State has per capita! Much of this covid hysteria has been "fact-free". Look at the data, folks.
Cuomo gives his blessing to NY gyms: https://thehill.com/homenews/state-...w-york-gyms-can-reopen-at-33-percent-capacity
I get a good chuckle at this idea that is permeating the far right hemisphere that all the wealthy are fleeing to leave NY and CAL and that the area is going to be left as this festering crater.

I guess as long as you're a celebrity the Uncle Andrew rules don't apply to you https://nypost.com/2020/08/22/visiting-vma-stars-get-a-pass-on-nyc-covid-19-quarantine-rules/
Cuomo was dead wrong with his handling of the retirement homes, and yet he manged to learn and reverse the course. Trump was dead wrong in disbanding the pandemic response team and ignoring the response and not ramping up testing in the early stages of his response, yet he hasn't learned much of anything. He continues to spout untruths, not rely on science try to limit testing, and manipulate the data. What Cuomo did was bad but he changed and corrected course and the results show it. What Trump did was at least as bad but his refusal to correct and continue to misinform makes it ten times worse and the national numbers represent that. But of course some the OP focuses on the lesser of the two evils.
"NYC Restaurants Sue Cuomo, De Blasio For $2 Billion Over Indoor Dining Ban": https://www.forbes.com/sites/daniel...dining-ban-sue-cuomo-de-blasio-for-2-billion/ excerpt: Updated Sep 3, 2020, 11:39am EDT Restaurants in New York City filed a $2 billion class-action lawsuit against city and state officials on Thursday, alleging the indoor dining ban caused “irreparable harm” to the city’s food and beverage industry and pushing for the return to indoor dining — the lawsuit marks the latest attempt to normalize the city through legal action. KEY FACTS * Il Bacco, an Italian restaurant in Queens, is spearheading a class-action lawsuit against Gov. Andrew Cuomo, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, and New York Attorneys General to force the state to allow indoor dining and for damages lost during Covid-19 guidelines. * Over 350 restaurants have signed on to the $2 billion lawsuit. * Il Bacco is only 500 feet from the Nassau County border, where restaurants have been able to serve indoors at 50% capacity since June 24. * New York City is the only city in the state where some form of indoor dining is still not allowed, despite a weeks-long statewide case positive rate below 1%. * In mid-August, 1,500 gym owners across New York filed a class-action lawsuit against the state which led to gyms, fitness centers, and yoga studios opening their doors at 33% capacity just a few weeks later.
Oh, Cuomo was the party talking point of the day, I see now. I didn't get the memo. Next week is Infrastructure Week.,
So your burning him for overcautious action in an unprecedented pandemic as a case for the Party that actively denied it, is that your point?
