Anti-Cuomo protesters want Cuomo resignation over nursing home deaths:
Anti-Cuomo rally in New York City, first Cuomo sexual harassment accuser Lindsey Boylan speaks:
- More than 300 NYC Marchers Rally to Protest Cuomo, Push for Progressive Policies
- Activists rally in NYC calling for Gov. Cuomo’s impeachment, Boylan speaks
Boylan made a very valid point in her comments at the rally:
"When the Governor should have been focused on leading us out of this pandemic, he instead focused on covering up the deaths of 15,000 New Yorkers, and smearing me and my reputation."
In a lot of ways, the sexual harassment allegations are being used by New York Democrats, including Governor Cuomo, to distract attention away from the Cuomo administration's COVID nursing home deaths scandals. The Cuomo administration has only tainted itself in its actions against Boylan.
In other news, the "Cuomo Show" isn't what it used to be:
Just a reminder that Peak Cuomo was reached for CNN's cheerleader-style coverage of Governor Andrew Cuomo on 6 May 2020. It's not often you see a news network choose to shred all its journalistic credibility, which entered its rapid collapse phase on 21 May 2020.
The final article in today's roundup relates to how a handful of New York nursing homes never got their act together in preventing the spread of COVID in their facilities. A failure that carried a price when the second wave of COVID came in the fall and winter of 2020:
The report points to the role of nursing home workers as superspreaders within the most affected facilities. By contrast, most other facilities saw much fewer infections, including those that experienced severe outbreaks and deaths during the first wave of COVID infections in New York.
The difference between the earlier and later waves in these other nursing homes may be attributable to the Cuomo administration's 25 March 2020 directive and other policies that limited the nursing homes ability to obtain PPE during the first, deadlier wave. The 25 March 2020 directive would have contributed to the initial exposure of nursing home workers to COVID while it was in effect, while the lack of sufficient PPE supplies would contribute to its rapid spread within the facilities during that period.
