Legally I can, I'm just discouraged from being in public places unless I have to (like everyone else). I don't go outside anyway...

I don't quite understand... Us New Yorkers in the hardest hit state (per capita or by raw totals) are only out until May 15th* at this point. And it's a known fact that if you open to soon, there is potential for a second wave of infections.
-It seems as if Governor Cuomo will extend this at some point...

snowyowl, I would bet that he's going to extend it. I think his hope is that the rest of the states overestimate the virus (which they didn't) or the virus by some miracle left New York.

Gradual extension is also smarter in that you spread out the backlash.

Governor Cuomo has been doing the extensions in smaller increments, which is interesting. Like, I think the first one was until April 1st (iirc), then April 20th, and now May 15th. It was pretty clear that the first two would get a further extension, but I wonder if he is gonna keep with the 15 days at a time strategy or start doing larger calls like other states have. Maybe it's to keep morale high? To make people feel like the "end is in sight?" I don't really know lol

Maybe he's trying to find a middle ground between the people yelling about too-drastic decisions and the people yelling at no action being taken? I feel like this gives people of both viewpoints less reason to complain.

EDIT: then again, having a range of time to plan for is helpful as well.
