Not only did 95% of the left NOT CARE what Cuomo did, they then turned around and screamed that Trump was responsible for ALL of the covid deaths.
I like to think I admit when I’m wrong. I think Cuomo gave great speeches last spring and they helped to save lives. I still believe that.GoBirds said:
My governor, Ned Lamont, did the same thing in sending covid positive patients to nursing homes. I’ve worked in insurance my whole life insuring many of the same nursing homes and know many people in the industry. They all saw the disaster coming and requested him to stop. Knowing this I pulled my 87 year old father out of his assisted living home March 14th and luckily he is still with us today.
The governors had the option to send them to temporary medical shelters that were constructed/ set-up but never used. The first mass outbreak of covid was in a nursing home so everyone knew the outcome when covid and the elderly meet.
An aside: How on earth did that happen to Connecticut? I remember both CT politics and when Lamont was new to the scene. In what universe did the good people of the Nutmeg State lose their minds to become so deep blue as to allow it?
I get it. I need to be convinced that it was a deliberate malevolent decision at the time. It may be that it was. I just don’t know.
Remember he had a naval ship and Jacob Javits center he could've used but refused to do so because he didn't wanna give Trump the win.
WTH? The dude was literally giving death sentences to the elderly at the same time you think he was giving "great speeches". He not only didn't save lives, he increased the amount of dead.
We love to suffer here. Lamont (people nicknamed him Jolly Ned) is actually much better then his processor, Daniel p Malloy who was very much like cuomo, all rhetoric and a bully.
Then clearly you've been living in a cave the last 2 years.
Like others here you’re making a lot of assumptions. I’ll withhold judgment on the death sentences on this until we learn more.
I think, at this point, Tim is purposefully playing obtuse so he can defend Cuomo. Y'know, if your remain willfully ignorant of the actual facts, then you have an excuse.
I remember the ship. I remember it wasn’t used. At the time I recall reading that there were some logistical issues which I thought were dumb.
I just heard some of it. Sadly he appears to be Trumpian in his refusal to take any responsibility. That’s really too bad.
I don`t think he is a murderer. Did he screw up and try to cover up the loss of lives? Yes. Did he threaten people? Yes Should he step down? That is up to the people of NY to decide.
The explanation for why something happens is always the easiest. Logistics issues makes no sense. Politics makes all the sense in the world.
So in other words what you wrote is based on an assumption that came out of your mind, not based on any real facts or statements. Gotcha.
Sidebar: you are now going to withhold judgment on a political(-ish) issue until you learn more??
If you’re critical of me now, just wait until I start ranking songs from Moving Pictures in my 1981 thread.
Hadn't seen that thread till just now, but I wasn't critical of you here per se. It's just unusual for you to not pass judgment right away, which is certainly not exclusive to you nowadays. Twitter is proof of that.
Man, you're missing the forest for the trees.

I totally agree with you. The lying, the cover up is awful. But there are folks in here who are claiming that Cuomo is a murderer, that he caused people to die. That’s the part that I’m skeptical about and won’t pass judgment on. Except to note that all of the people in this thread who are calling Cuomo a murderer are also outspoken Trump defenders, which makes me think that, like everything else, this is just another game to them.
President Trump was called a murderer of 300,000+ people throughout the presidential campaign by the Democrats. Was it just a game to them as well?
Yes. I thought that was awful and said so here. I think Trump handled the pandemic incompetently and many lives could have been saved if he had listened to Fauci and the other public health experts. But to label him a murderer was totally out of bounds.
Media is citing some study that up to 1,000 unnecessary deaths were caused by this.
Let me save everybody an annoying string of posts.
