America's coronavirus reopening debate comes down to how much a human life is worth, New York governor says

Andrew Cuomo on Tuesday said debates on how soon states should ease social distancing restrictions come down to the value of human life -- and that policymakers are avoiding saying so explicitly. Cuomo, whose state by far has the most recorded coronavirus cases, reacted Tuesday to projections that the country's coronavirus death rate will soar because many states are easing restrictions now. 'The fundamental question, which we're not articulating, is how much is a human life worth?' Cuomo said at a news conference.
