18 October 2020: A Casket Full of Cuomo's Pandemic Leadership Books

Casket outside Brooklyn nursing home filled with 6,500 covers of Cuomo’s book

The 6,500 book covers represent the state's official count of COVID nursing home deaths, which most honest observers indicate is several thousand short of the full toll.

The protestors also faulted Governor Cuomo for stonewalling an independent investigation of his administration's coronavirus nursing home policies:

But Brooklyn protest organizer Peter Arbeeny griped at the rally — where about a dozen people added photos of their lost loved ones to the casket — that Cuomo “hasn’t given us an independent investigation [into the alleged nursing-home debacle] so we can get to the truth.

“The families in front of you deserve to know the truth,” said Arbeeny, whose 89-year-old Korean War veteran father, Norman, was among the at least 56 people to die from COVID-19 at the Brooklyn facility.
