“The good news — a new testing record has been set. The bad news — three more cases of the UK COVID strain have been found,” Governor Cuomo said, “If we are to beat COVID once and for all, we need to win the footrace between how fast the infection rate rises and how fast vaccinations are administered. The UK strain’s Usain Bolt-like infection rate has certainly made that job all the more difficult, especially since the federal government has refused to mandate testing for international travelers, but New York is forging ahead nonetheless.”
