I showed the bit about Cuomo’s graphs to some friends, and one of them responded with “If he will not open now, what he will close later?”
I think it was meant as a joke, but it might be a deep insight into the decision-making process behind reopening the restaurants now. If his majesty and King of New York Governor Cuomo expects things to get worse later, and knows that he needs to (i) have something to point to as the cause and/or (ii) have some action to take to make it look like he is reacting with Courage and Wisdom, reopening restaurants now makes sense.
On the other hand I think even according to his own data and justifications, NYC indoor dining wasn’t even contributing much to cases to begin with, so maybe the decision is okay even if the epistemology is a joke.
