New York Governor Andrew Cuomo warned people on Sunday that the coronavirus pandemic could last up to nine months.
In a speech chiding people who have continued to go outside and gather in large groups despite the social distancing guidelines put out by federal and local governments, Cuomo revealed that there were over 15,000 cases in New York and that people need to take the situation seriously, as the New York Times reports.
“This is not a short term situation,” Cuomo said during a press conference in Albany. “This is not a long weekend. This is not a week.”
He added that up to 80 percent of the population could be impacted by the virus, which could strain the hospital system past the point where it could handle the number of people needing help.
