This is why this state is doomed. The whole thing is set up for TL; DR.

It's just a campaign ad for Cuomo and his "new normal," a false premise by which he will warp the future of the state to meld with his own dictatorial vision. Filled with MUST, HAS TO, WILL sorts of directives. "Never let a crisis go to waste!"

Here are some gems:

PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY
Of course, it’s not plausible to be inside 100% of the time – you have to go get groceries, check the mail, and walk the dog. Still, the fact is that every minute someone’s interacting with the public, they’re increasing the risk to themselves, and they’re increasing the risk to other people. Taking unnecessary risks also disrespects the sacrifices of frontline workers. Failing to do your part could mean more people get infected, potentially overwhelming hospitals or infecting heath care workers themselves.

We will be "Wearing a mask, all the time."

REIMAGINE EDUCATION WITH BILL GATES
Going forward, we must explore ways in which our education can be reimagined, including by examining ways technology can be used to provide more opportunities to students, reduce educational inequality, and better meet the educational needs of students with disabilities.
Over the coming months, New York State will partner with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, as well as local education leaders from across the state, to convene experts and develop a blueprint to adapt our state’s education system for this new normal. To aid in the development of these plans, in early May, the State launched a Reimagine Education
Advisory Council, made up of educators, students, parents and education leaders, to help districts reimagine schools as they prepare to reopen.

CLOSING THOUGHTS
"The solutions won’t be easy – and aren’t even necessarily clear today."
[BUT WE JUST HIT YOU OVER THE HEAD WITH 51pp. OF OUR PLANS]

BELIEVE THE DEAR LEADER
And it will require all New Yorkers to put their faith in competent elected
officials, guided by facts, rather than by optics, celebrity, and press releases.
That is what we owe our state.
