'We don't talk about practicing humanity, but now if ever there was a time to practice humanity that time is now,' he said.
He compared the"trauma" being felt nationwide to the response in the wake of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, but said Americans -- particularly health workers and law enforcement -- are"rising to the occasion" to offer gentility and compassion to those affected by the coronavirus pandemic.
"And this is a time for a little gentility. It's the time for a smile when you're walking past someone. It's a time for a nod, it's a time to say 'hello,' it's a time for patience. And don't let the little things get you annoyed. That's New York at its best. That was New York after 9/11," Cuomo continued.
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo on Saturday reassured state residents as coronavirus cases skyrocketed, calling on New Yorkers to"practice humanity" and compassion last seen in response to the 9/11 terrorist attacks.There were 3,200 new cases in the state over the past 24 hours, with 1,800 of those positive coronavirus cases emerging in New York City's five boroughs.
The governor noted that while New York City cases have been rising due to its density, Westchester County"hot spots" have been slowing in the number of recent cases.
