NY governor Cuomo was a star of the pandemic. When things were at their worst in NY, the governor held daily news conferences each morning and was treated like a savior/genius by the media. This was at the same time that then President Trump held daily news conferences covering much the same information and was treated as a moron or buffoon by the same media. It was bizarre at the time, especially since Cuomo had ordered NY nursing homes to admit patients with the virus who then infected most of the residents of the homes and killed off a substantial percentage of them. I wrote about this insane, indeed criminal, order by Cuomo many times, but the mainstream media never covered Cuomo's actions. Something like 13,000 nursing home residents died in NY last spring, but Cuomo refused to admit the truth. Now, the truth is finally coming out in the media. We now have staff members of Cuomo who are admitting that they and the governor covered up the truth by lying about the numbers of nursing home residents who died from the virus and the cause of those deaths (the governor's order).
It's likely that nothing will come of this now. Democrats rarely prosecute other Democrats. Still, Cuomo should be written out of public life even if he avoids criminal prosecution.
Cuomo wasn't the only state official to do this stuff. The health commission in PA issued a similar order that put sick patients into nursing homes, thereby killing thousands of residents. That official, who defended the order repeatedly, took her own mother out of a nursing home in order to protect her from infection. Lest you think that she will be punished with Cuomo, note that Joe Biden appointed her to a high position in his administration. Apparently, ordering the death of thousands is just a minor annoyance if one is a Democrat, especially if one is a minority as was the case here (she is transsexual).
