  NY Gov. Cuomo highlights the success New York has had in flattening their curve due to people following health guidelines

  This tweet stood out to me because of the contrast that it had with my state current Covid status. While New York was hit hard early, strict health guidelines have been not only enforced but followed well by the citizens of the state, which has notably flattened their curve. Meanwhile, Arizona was not hit as hard early but has now become a global hotspot for the virus due to lax enforcement of health guidelines, the state opening back up early, and therefore less public following of health and safety guidelines. The two states serve as near opposites of each other in regards to the curve of the virus.

  Free Masks For the Less Fortunate

  The new rule that Andrew Cuomo released makes everyone wear masks everywhere they go. He made this a rule so we can try to prevent the spread of Covid 19 even more. Although you need to wear masks not everyone has access to them because they are sold out at many places and some cant afford to buy them. Also many healthcare workers need them because they are running out and cant find them anywhere. SInce this is a big problem New York State gave 7 million more masks across New York.
