The infection level from test results Monday was 3.4% on Long Island and 2.5% in New York City. The number of new confirmed cases of COVID-19 was 362 in Nassau, 501 in Suffolk and 1,728 in New York City. Forty-seven people died in the state of COVID-19-related causes on Monday.
The statewide infection level Monday was 2.96%, including the microclusters, which are oversampled, and 2.62% excluding them. The level in the hot spots was 4.13%.
Cuomo criticized the Office of Suffolk County Sheriff Errol D. Toulon Jr. for stating in a Nov. 20 tweet that it "will not be participating" in enforcing the governor’s mandate that no more than 10 people gather inside a home for Thanksgiving.
"The law is the law," Cuomo said.
"The sheriff says, ‘Well, politically I disagree with you.’ Well, are you a politician, or are you a law enforcement officer? You have to pick. Because it gets very dangerous when a law enforcement officer says, ‘I’m only going to enforce the laws that I agree with,’ " Cuomo said.
"That’s a frightening precedent," he added. "What if they don’t agree with anti-discrimination laws? What if they don’t agree with domestic violence laws?"
Top Cuomo aide Melissa DeRosa said she believes the sheriff’s jurisdiction is only the jails and not the general population, "So his opinion on this is even more irrelevant."
Citing constitutional concerns, local law enforcement in communities across the U.S. — from police departments to sheriff’s offices — have said they won’t enforce statewide mandates limiting the number of people allowed to congregate and barring some businesses from reopening.
“When I took my oath of office, I swore to uphold the United States Constitution,” Alamance County Sheriff Terry Johnson said when the speedway reopened. “I will not enforce an unconstitutional law.”
at least 60 sheriffs nationwide have said they won’t enforce their states’ executive orders as of May 18. Former Arizona Sheriff Richard Mack supports them.
Mack heads the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association, which promotes sheriffs as “constitutional guards” with the “authority to check and balance all levels of government,” according to its website.
“I would ask every police officer in this country, ‘Where did you get any authority to violate the First Amendment?’” he told the newspaper. “If you violate an oath, you’ve committed perjury, and that is a crime in and of itself.”
What this douchebag is trying to pull is totally unconstitutional.
He should’ve been immediately removed from office when he tried to get away this nonsense.
Kudos to law enforcement departments that refuse to cater to this prick. They are right, he is wrong.
How the hell is this gonna be enforced anyway. We have four cars. You knock on my door you’re gonna find find four people. People don’t necessarily park at the house they’re visiting. People could take the train from the city and walk to someone’s house where I used to live in GC. How the hell would the police decide which house to check and which not to check? Meanwhile drunk drivers are out cruising the roads. Idiot.
So sad that we can’t follow directions from scientific experts that the government has to threaten its people. Such rebels live here! Let’s take to social media to tell the world we don’t listen to experts, we are free to be screwups!! Wow, y’all cool!
You only have to "enforce" things when people are just too ______ (mad lib fill in the blank with "stupid, uncaring, selfish, dumb, inconsiderate, a-hole, jag off, lemming, sheep, dullard, imbecile") to do the right thing by themselves and NOT share their stupid faux-magnanimity in social media snark vs masks, gatherings, common sense, etc ...wait, what's that sound...oh that's Grandma Rose being taken dead off a ventilator. Enjoy your illegal gathering. And GFY. Otherwise, I wish you all (yes, even the super-spreader d-bags), a safe and healthy thanksgiving in the correct spirit of gratitude and concern for our fellow humans. A long lost art. peace

People only want government intervention when it's convenient for them. I wonder if there's a correlation between mask defiance and IQ level.
