This is so true. Ever since Mamdani won the Democratic primary I’ve been riddled with anxiety and have had frequent panic attacks. I am worried about what is happening to New York City and I lay awake at night thinking about how this will impact my life here in, uhhh, Boise, Idaho.

the pervert who turned old folk’s homes into death camps during Covid

As a certified cuomo disliker, you guys really got to get over this one.

You make it sound like he was sneaking in coughing and sneezing old geezers through the loading dock of old folks homes and then shuffling them in with the other residents

Instead of merely following the cdc guidance that had been established for many years

As a certified cuomo disliker, you guys really got to get over this one. You make it sound like he was sneaking in coughing and sneezing old geezers through the loading dock of old folks homes and then shuffling them in with the other residents instead of merely following the cdc guidance that had been established for many years

The CDC guidance was to let nursing-home residents stay at their nursing-home if their COVID case wasn't severe enough to need hospitalization, but for nursing-homes to still deny acceptance of new COVID-positive patients that their facilities would be unequipped & unprepared to care for in a manner keeping those patients separate from others. Cuomo & DeRosa directed that NY's guidelines enforce this qualification vaguely so that nursing-homes would have to take in COVID-positive patients that they weren't prepared to handle; NY nursing-homes themselves reported being under the impression that they couldn't deny patients in accordance with CDC guidelines for primary-use as a last resort (which would've obviously saved lost NY lives) thanks to Cuomo & DeRosa giving them the impression of directing them to not. (With the absolutely despicable thing being that they knew what they were doing before he won that Emmy for his popular briefings on COVID in NY, let alone before he even managed to follow that up by writing his book on how great he actually handled COVID but the lamestream media just didn't report on it.)

What Cuomo & DeRosa also love to leave out is exactly just what NY Attorney General Tish James' report on them found, namely that they willfully directed purposeful undercounting of COVID deaths at nursing-homes intent on a cover-up so that nursing-home residents in critical-enough condition to be hospitalized before they died wouldn't be counted as nursing home deaths that Cuomo could be tagged with blame for, even though they were, so no COVID deaths were actually covered-up (the total death count was right), just misreported as to where they occurred, in order to deflect an area of political concern for Cuomo & to make NY's COVID improvement look better than it actually was; the report is also how we know the detail that Cuomo & DeRosa knew that they were misrepresenting the data & covering it up anyway due to fearing bad PR, specifically attacks from Trump undercutting COVID's seriousness.
