24 April 2022: Mostly All Quiet on the Cuomo Front

It's not your imagination. There really hasn't been much notable news to document about Andrew M. Cuomo's COVID nursing home deaths scandals in the past week!

That's due to the current nature of the main story, which is now mainly set by the pace of legal developments. Sure, Cuomo sometimes makes noise in public on his own, but as we've argued, he is almost certainly doing so in order to tap the funds in his campaign organization's bank accounts for the purpose of influencing the potential juror pools in the various criminal and civil litigations he still faces and to pay his legal and public relations bills aimed at that purpose. Although the latest developments in the Cuomo's ongling self-inflicted saga falls outside the focus of the timeline's usual coverage, here are links to recent opinion pieces and editorials for reference, starting with Cuomo's own op-ed on unrelated topics that appeared in the New York Daily News during the past week:

On the plus side, we also haven't had any reason to cover any stories involving Andrew M. Cuomo's brother, the hapless journalism-ethics challenged Chris Cuomo, which by definition represents the bottom story of the day here at the timeline. He's definitely not being missed!
