Cuomo: 783 deaths in the last 24 hours from COVID-19, up from 777 yesterday.

Death toll is 8,627.

The death toll is "stabilizing at a horrific rate."

Cuomo's a Churchill fan I see.

"The best thing we have done to date is kept politics out of the discussion. Even though this is a hyper-partisan time... we've kept politics out of the crisis."

"I'm not running for anything. I'm governor of New York, thank you, that's where I'm staying."

Says Trump has been "really responsive" to New York's needs and they've had a good working relationship through the crisis.

"Keep politics out of it."

"All the experts had higher projection numbers than we actually experienced. They all said: caveat, government action will flatten the curve."

Expounded on why it's hard for statisticians to build these types of government response into their models, and if people will actually listen to those guidelines — that impacts the models.

"There was no political conspiracy theory. It's uncharted waters for all of us."

"It's too soon for Monday quarterbacking because the game isn't over yet."

Reopening is both a "political question and an economic question."

"I am unwilling to divorce to the too. You can't ask New York to choose between lives lost and dollars gained. No one is going to make to make that quid pro quo."

This is a time "when are actions will literally determine life and death."

Cuomo says "there has been no decision" on NYC school closure.

Said he respects De Blasio's position, but no decision...

Cuomo says school closures are BDB's "opinion" and called for metropolitan-area coordination on school closures.

Cuomo responding to calls for him to replace Biden on the ticket.

"On the one hand it's flattering, on the other hand it's irrelevant."

Repeats call to keep politics out of this.

"I have no political agenda period. I'm not running for president, I'm not running for Vice President."

"I'm not going to Washington. I'm staying right here."

Closing schools in New York City "is my legal authority," Cuomo says.

And it has to be "coordinated" across the NYC metropolitan area

Says he provided "clarification" on De Blasio's announcement.

"We won't know for the next few days."

I guess parents are going to have to wait for a definitive answer...
