15 March 2021: Timelines of Governor Cuomo's Scandals

While we've been actively maintaining a timeline of Governor Cuomo's nursing home scandals among the longest, we're no longer the only ones providing that service. Here are several of the others:

Why point to the timeline competition? Our philosophy in developing the Cuomo Nursing Home Scandal Timeline has been to provide a representative sample of news coverage and analysis with a primary focus on Governor Cuomo's COVID nursing home death scandals. We also periodically feature news and analysis involving similar scandals developing in several other states, such as Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and now Washington.

Other outlets are choosing to focus on other scandalous aspects of Governor Cuomo's conduct in office, where the different timelines overlap and complement each other.

As for the timelines we've linked above, please note some big differences in the dates from which the various timelines start. Those that start at 1 March 2020 begin with the first confirmed SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus infected detected in New York. We started our coverage from 7 March 2020, when Governor Cuomo declared a state of emergency in New York. Others starting later than March 2020 are likely not focused on the origins of the Cuomo administration's deadly nursing home scandals.

We're also happy to report our effort in developing a reliable timeline is informing the reporting now being done by several major news media outlets. Having a resource that links to contemporary news reporting and analysis has proven its worth.
