I hope NY doesn’t ultimately need 30,000 ventilators.
But I don't operate on opinion and hope.
I operate on facts and data and science.
All the projections say we will need 30,000-40,000 ventilators.
So that is what we will strive to have.
We are going to fight every way we can to save every life that we can.
That’s what it means to be an American and that’s what it means to be a New Yorker.
If ever there is a time to practice humanity — it is now.
The time to show kindness, to show compassion.
New Yorkers are tough — but we are also the most courageous community that you have ever seen.
I tell my daughters: Make decisions based on risk versus reward.
For young people to go out in crowds on spring break — is so unintelligent and reckless, I can't even begin to express it.
Stay home. Stop the spread. Save lives.
