...Federal failures played a role, of course, but this tragedy was absolutely due, in part, to decisions by the governor. Cuomo initially “reacted to De Blasio’s idea for closing down New York City with derision”, saying it “was dangerous” and “served only to scare people”. He said the “seasonal flu was a graver worry”. A spokesperson for Cuomo “refused to say if the governor had ever read the state’s pandemic plan”. Later, Cuomo would blame the press, including the New York Times for failing to say “Be careful, there’s a virus in China that may be in the United States?” even though the Times wrote nearly 500 stories on the virus before the state acted. Experts told ProPublica that “had New York imposed its extreme social distancing measures a week or two earlier, the death toll might have been cut by half or more”...

“Did you read the article?”
Good question, yes, but I don’t recall reading it all.
It was a bunch of crap, as I recall.
President Trump: "Our country is in the midst of a great national trial, unlike any we have ever faced before. [...] We’re at war with a deadly virus. Success in this fight will require the full absolute measure of our collective strength, love, and devotion. It’s very important. Each of us has the power through our own choices and actions to save American lives and rescue the most vulnerable among us"
Pearl Harbor American Military killed: More than 2,300 killed!
9/11 fatalities: 2,996!
Cuomo killed 5500+ innocent seniors in NY Nursing homes by sending patients infected with the Corona Virus to these Nursing Homes.(1)
(1)Cuomo even tried to claim that the more-than-5,500 deaths connected to nursing homes in New York was a better toll, per capita, than most other states.
Now he is trying to blame President Trump for his murderous actions.
If NY had a Rep governor, the media would be demanding murder charges.
“More New Yorkers Died from Governor Cuomo’s Coronavirus Nursing Home Policy”
They also need to answer for the subways. Until recently, the only thing they did is cut the number of trains so that the remaining passengers were packed in as closely as possible. The whole NE corridor runs on mass transit. It is no coincidence that it is also the epicenter of COVID disease and death.
Amazing that this would be found in The Guardian.
Amazing how the blue thugs do the worse thing re the Corona 19.

Heres what we learned:
26 states are republican ran. They account for about 18-19000 of all deaths. The other 80,000 are in from 15 blues states.
If you were in a nursing home, you stood a dramatically higher chance of dying if you were in a blue state.
Drugs that could have helped people were banned by Govenor EO’s contributing to higher deaths.
Infected elderly were purposefully put back in elderly nursing home facilitys against CDC guidelines for the sole purpose of infecting the elderly for erradication!
What was learned, if Democraps are willing to kill babys without flinching an eye, you think the elderly mean a dam thing to them?
This was a far reaching policy repeated through every highly infected state. This in itself is an enormous scandal and pure government murder. Playing dumb and blaming the President is the same as Germans who had no idea people were being exterminated and those who knew were just “following orders”. Cuomo,Wolf,Whitmer,Murphy and the others need to go before the House but of course that will never happen. Our government is useless. They have failed us.
What will finally undo whatever reputation Cuomo had remaining was his attempt to blame this on President Trump.
Trump gave Cuomo the Javits Center field hospital and the Comfort hospital ship to use, and instead Cuomo sent the elderly infected patients back to nursing homes instead of isolating them in one of these special care centers.
Now, Cuomo is trying to say that he was following Trump's "15 Days to Slow the Spread" guidelines, ostensibly because the guidelines said that "if you are an older American, stay home and away from other people." Cuomo is trying to say that by sending the elderly infected to elderly nursing homes, he was keeping them together and away from other people in centers designed for their elderly care needs.
It's a nasty, backstabbing attempt to deflect the blame onto the one person who singly helped Cuomo the most, which is to say, it's the Democrat thing to do.

“Amazing how the blue thugs do the worse thing re the Corona 19.”
IMHO the worse thing is that they do it and get away with it. You can bet that whoever at the Guardian has already gotten more than a few ears full from their colleagues across the pond.
Maybe be because those patients were under federal coverage and NYC and NYS would not get money for them?
With EVERY ‘RAT DEFEAT in November, Jumpin’ Jack Flash should be blasting when the ‘RAT DEFEAT IS CALLED.

Crossfire Hurricane BUMP! NO SYMPATHY for those POS, EVIL, SATANIC DEVILS.
#27 & #28 BUMP! BUMP! Thanks.
EXACTLY! Murder by government. What a way to save money. Governor Cuomo might get promoted by The Commander-in-Chief of the Softkill Army - Trey Billygoat Gates Microsoft tiny germ softkill.
