New York Governor Andrew Cuomo was blasted Wednesday after he announced a raft of new COVID-19 restrictions that could see people prevented from spending the holidays with their own families.

Cuomo tweeted that “New York follows the science,” and labeled gatherings as a “major source of COVID spread,” announcing that private residences will be limited to 10 people or fewer people.

New York follows the science.

We know indoor gatherings and parties are a major source of COVID spread.

To slow the spread, NYS will limit indoor gatherings at private residences to 10 people.

This limit takes effect Friday at 10pm.

In a further tweet, Cuomo declared that businesses with a licence to sell alcohol, in addition gyms will also be forced to close at 10pm every night, beginning at the end of this week:

NYS is taking action to stop the spread in response to rising COVID numbers.

Any establishment with a state liquor license, including bars and restaurants, must close at 10pm.

Gyms must also close at 10pm.

These new statewide rules will take effect Friday, 10pm.

In a third post, Cuomo proclaimed that “COVID is getting worse by the day,” and ordered people to “wear a mask” and “get tested”:

COVID is getting worse by the day.

All around the country.

The fall surge is here.

We are taking action but we need New Yorkers to do their part.

Wear a mask. Get tested. Follow all health guidelines. Take this seriously.

There is no indication of how any of this will be enforced, leading critics to suggest that the Gestapo may be coming to New Yorkers’ Thanksgiving dinners:

Electric car “demand” is soaring in UK as no one is buying internal combustion engines. But it was manufactured demand in the same way that “demand” for vaccines will be “command”.

Daily Wire writer Matt Walsh asked ““Where does Cuomo derive the authority to tell people how many guests they can have at their own homes?”

Where does Cuomo derive the authority to tell people how many guests they can have at their own homes?

Answer: From his own imagination. Please disregard this petty ridiculous tyrant. https://t.co/bTe0kTXWk6

Steven Crowder suggested that Hitler would be smiling up at Cuomo right now:

Others noted that Cuomo is hawking a book about responding to the virus:

I'm old enough to remember when you published a book just last month with this title:

"American Crisis: Leadership Lessons from the COVID-19 Pandemic" https://t.co/nEiyGBeQke

Others wondered if Cuomo will be paying people’s mortgages, bills and rent:
