A person wearing a mask rides a bike in Flatiron as the Empire State Building can be seen in the background amid the coronavirus pandemic on May 16, 2020 in New York City.San Francisco Mayor London Breed reportedly shared a copy of the region's shelter-in-place order with New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio in mid-March, according to a new ProPublica report.
Cuomo eventually locked down the state of New York on March 22, but the delay is likely a contributing factor as to why the state has become the US epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak.San Francisco was initially expected to become the epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak in the US, as it was geographically positioned closer to China, where the disease was first discovered.
New York, on the other hand, has instead become the epicenter of the US outbreak, with the majority of reported cases in New York City. AndAccording to the report, San Francisco Mayor London Breed was more receptive to advice from public health experts than was New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio. Breed issued a local emergency order after the first confirmed case was found in San Francisco. New York had 100 reported cases before de Blasio followed suit.
Cuomo also reportedly questioned whether it was within de Blasio's jurisdiction to even issue a stay-at-home order."I have no plan whatsoever to quarantine any city."
