“If you do not take precautions, your likelihood that you will get the virus is higher,” Cuomo said today during a conference call with reporters. “Covid conga lines are not smart. That’s my official position.”
The Dec. 9 party, thrown by the Whitestone Republican Club in Queens, attracted a crowd of at least 50 people, according to the New York Daily News. City Council candidate Vickie Paladino, conservative media personality Christopher Wright and former conservative candidate for New York State Assembly James Martinosky were among the attendees.
