Gov. Andrew Cuomo says he has a team that is developing a plan to restart New York state’s economy, adding that there is “an art form” to managing a public health crisis while restarting the economy.

Speaking to CNN host Chris Cuomo, his brother, on Monday night, the New York governor was asked to respond to President Trump’s comments on speeding up the recovery in weeks as opposed to months.

“The president is very concerned about the economy. The economy was doing well — the economy is now truly suffering. The consequences haven’t even been felt yet because not only have you stopped the revenue machine — you’ve increased the expense machine, OK? So those two things are going to compound each other,” the older Cuomo said.

“I actually have a group that is working on the restart of the economy because I get it, too. This is New York and we’re with the home of so much of this. So coming up with the plan to restart the economy is very important,” he added.

Gov. Cuomo went on to explain how he will be taking what lessons his administration learned from the start of the crisis and apply them to the recovery efforts.

“What we did is, we just closed everything down as quickly as we could. Shut all the doors, border all the windows. There was no art to what we did, no nuance … We’ll restart the economy with a smart public health strategy, because closing the door on everyone was only because we didn’t know better,” the governor said.

“But now you can come up with a smarter public health strategy that actually protects older people, lets younger people get back to work, and that can start the economic recovery. But it has to be that smart. It can’t be reactive. It can’t be emotional,” he concluded.
