The state legislature marked the occasion by voting to repeal the legal immunity from COVID deaths Governor Cuomo gifted to New York hospitals and nursing homes after imposing his administration's deadly 25 March 2021 directive.

The last story is remarkable in that CNN has all but signed off on the "Quid pro Cuomo" benefit that its prime time anchor Chris Cuomo received from Governor Cuomo.
