Thursday, NY Governor Andrew Cuomo urged people to limit their Thanksgiving gatherings and said “this year, if you love someone, it is smarter and better to stay away.”
In audio he shared on Twitter, Cuomo says “It’s your family. It’s your home. It’s your table. These are all environments where you feel safe, and that is the beauty of Thanksgiving.”
He added “I’m at home with my family. I’m in my safe zone. Your safe zone is not your safe zone. Your safe zone is dangerous this year. Please. Love is sometimes doing what’s hard. This year, if you love someone, it is smarter and better to stay away.”
