I think Cuomo understands that it's not actually possible to lock down NYC. There aren't enough cops, courtrooms, or jail cells to enforce anything. That is why he's focusing on fining businesses for staying open, and is not sending cops up to make sure everyone stays 6 feet apart. One thing is possible, the other is just an authoritarian pipe dream. "Shelter in place" is a meaningless term when you can leave the shelter to go for a walk, go out and buy groceries, go to work as one of the many essential services, etc. Cuomo said as much. This isn't a natural disaster that destroyed infrastructure; all that needs to be done is keep the rate of hospitalizations under the number of available hospital beds.
