[edit] also these rates are heavily skewed against 70+ years old and people with existing conditions. The risk to a random warehouse worker is really immaterial.
I didn't watch Cuomo's presentation, and don't generally consume news via video. The two links I gave were to the NYT.
How do you get a mortality rate of 0.5% when you think 0.2% of the city has already died and 20% of the city has been exposed?
The odd of dying from this virus for a warehouse employee worker under 40 with no serious medical condition is not something they should worry about.
A tiny proportion of a gigantic number is still a massive number.
Plus, most of the population has some level of immunity to the flu. Meanwhile, for coronavirus, every human being on the planet can be infected except the tiny number who have already survived it.

Until we have longitudinal studies showing that there's nothing to worry about in the long term, this is a reckless assumption.
