Cuomo calls the shots because there are more people in NY than in NJ and CT and because NY’s economy is integral to the rest of the country (and the world).

As far as restaurants/bars, I suppose you could get some people from Staten Island who go in to Jersey for dinner or some people from Westchester to go into CT but I find it hard to believe a large percentage of nightlife seeking city dwellers are going to pack into an Uber to go to a bar in Connecticut. The bigger concern is the number of commuters in and out of the city every day.

Well I think the Governor of NJ is ridiculous if he continues to let someone else call 100% of the shots for his/her state.

I also think people are missing my point. There is huge part of Nj that isn’t saturated with bars and restaurants. A lot of people from South NJ will come to North Jersey to go to bars and restaurants. Same way Cuomo is talking about opening up other parts of NY, why shouldn’t they start opening / testing those parts of NJ as well? And I’m not talking about schools, I’m referring to whatever their plan is for Phase 1.

Cuomo isn’t going to think like that about NJ, but the Governor of NJ should be.

Actually, a reporter did ask about south NJ, and Gov. Murphy wasn’t really aware they were going to start opening stuff. I think the mayors in NJ are starting to give in and open parks, beaches etc. The Gov. also said that those places is South NJ won’t be impacted with openings because they aren’t as densely populated. To me it’s odd that he is treating the entire state the same.

This also will not benefit me in the slightest because I’m in North NJ, and I think my county should 100% be coinciding with NYC.

I agree with you. I don’t really see how south jersey is tied to NY in any way. If they’re going with the closest “big city” directives, you’d think they’d coordinate with Philly.
