A bicyclist took the state’s requirement to wear a mask to the next level last week on a ride through Central Park. Perhaps it was a sly reference to Gov. Cuomo’s decision to invoke Apollo 13 at a recent press conference.

50 years ago this week, Apollo 13 gets damaged 220,000 miles from earth. Somehow they figure out how to get a spaceship back 220,000 miles 50 years ago. That’s America. Okay. Figure out how to do testing. Figure out how to use technology to do tracing. That’s what we have to work on. We have to do that together. We have to do as a government what our people have done, right?
