A statewide Siena College poll shows a lot of pessimism about the coronavirus.
Sixty-two percent of New Yorkers think that the worst of the pandemic is still to come while only 27 percent think that the worst is over.
Seventy percent say the government’s priority should be containing the spread of the coronavirus, even if it hurts the economy, rather than restarting the economy, even if it increases the risk to public health.
Seventy-three percent are always wearing a protective mask when outside their home when social distancing may not be possible.
