I agree with these sentiments and omitted the partisan bit. Both parties have politicized a life and death situation. They played games and manipulated narratives for power and polling. It’s disgusting. The hope here is that the light goes on for both party liners and they realize both sides are doing the same thing.

I generally agree with you about the pettiness.  This story, however, is bad.  The guess here is that every democrat  with an eye on that office is going to hammer him this weekend and early next week.  The republicans will join the fun, too. The stink from this one will linger.

If Donald Trump committed crimes regarding COVID 19 you can bet there would have been Impeachment hearings over that. If you don’t believe that, you are 100 percent a fool just like Tiberius is.

The guy covered up the amount of deaths of NY’s elderly population, during a pandemic, to mitigate political fallout for an idiotic mistake that he made all the while patting himself on the back for the great job he’d done.

It may he more than that. According to the article that started the thread, it was because they thought there may be a DOJ investigation.

 

Quote

Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s top aide privately apologized to Democratic lawmakers for withholding the state’s nursing home death toll from COVID-19 — telling them “we froze” out of fear that the true numbers would “be used against us” by federal prosecutors, The Post has learned.

 

I'm not a lawyer, but hiding information because you think it may he used against you in an investigation could be a crime.  I have worked in Records Management and I know there if you hear or think an investigation is coming it is a crime to destroy or hide the documents related to it.

By kill I mean willingly and purposefully endangering the most vulnerable people in our state by forcing Covid patients back within that population.

They've also refused to question the public health "experts" on masks, distancing, justification, goals, and not one "so what is the end game how does this play out because we cannot mitigate forever, right?  Right??"

its very rare to have someone simply agree that their side has done horrific things. most would rather divert the conversation and play a game of "whatabout" so i give him credit for going against what he formally believed and calling it what it is.

 

that deserves respect.

People failed to follow guidelines which is why the virus spread like it did. If everyone took this seriously from the beginning the number of people that died would have been less. People still aren't taking it seriously.

What Cuomo did to the folks in the nursing homes, during a pandemic, by sending Covid patients back into the living space of our state’s most vulnerable population is equivalent to going back in time and delivering them to ground zero on September 11th 2001.

Yeah....

 

Actually she is a data scientist, AND geographer. The kind of work she does and has done involves a lot of data mining analysis, and trending.

 

You don't have to be a epidemiologist to crunch the numbers tracking Covid cases, rate of spread, and mortality rates. I have friends that do this work already as well as contact tracing.

Data science is an inter-disciplinary field that uses scientific methods, processes, algorithms and systems to extract knowledge and insights from many structural and unstructured data.[1][2] Data science is related to data mining, machine learning and big data

 

Jones alleged that the Florida Department of Health pressured her to strategically align COVID-19 case data with Florida's goal to reopen the state. 

 

Now, what I don't get is the motivation for her to blow up her career for no reason; whereas there is motive for Florida's governor to want to open the state and keep it open.

 

I don't think she is lying about being told to doctor the data.

 

I also think she is wicked-smart and has a borderline psychotic revenge history that makes the idea of her exploiting the State's messaging system (hacking is a bit generous) to encourage others to blow the whistle plausible.

so hes guilty? your judge jury and executioner on the matter of impeachment and anyone who doesn't see it your way does not have a conscience? we had a long discussion about democrats call to violence and the murder victims that resulted? have you reached a conscience on who you want to be held accountable yet? maybe i didnt make a good enough case in that thread.

 

if you think trump is not going to pay a heavy price for what he's done then you haven't paid attention to the banks that no longer will do buisness with him. the contracts he's lost and everyone around him INCLUDING his legal team for the very impeachment you speak of abandoning (trying to) him. also lets not foget about democrats calling for "lists" to cancel, degrade and destroy anyone he has touched.. including simple supporters that had no part of insorrection. 

 

not good enough? this impeachment.. is the ultimate icing on the cake? maybe. but even if he was impeached i think he would still be used to deflect from any misdoings by the democratic party. i mean a police officer was killed..as were many this summer. a unarmed qanon woman was shot..same as a 8 year old little girl and HUNDREDS of innocent people living in abolish police zones. it can go back and forth but this thread is about cuomo.

 

speaking of which, i think its odd you didnt touch any point about cuomo and the boat that sat empty. why. call him a evil POS that intentionally tryed to cover up his deplorable decision. its not hard. 

 

see when trump lied about covid the media was on him like locusts. how long did his lies last? im pretty sure his lies cost him the election as they were brought to light. 

 

but here we are a full year out of cuomos lies and they are just at the beginning phase of being revealed after recieving book deals, Emmy and accolades from his peers and those not paying attention. i remember those "quacks" at fox being the only media covering the story even as cuomo routinley blocked investigations.  i also remember a lone banner hanging from a interstate say "cuomo killed my mother" last year in may. people in NY know. victims families knew it was a horrendous decision immediately. yet i guess that wasnt interesting to anyone in journalism to have a conscience, until of coarse, the objective was reached. theres a difference and if you dont start acknowledging it then your going to be lost in partisanship like those who defend trumps every decision. your no better..just different.

 

why? because there is alot more to be revealed if journalist are willing to cover the other side  with the same scrutiny as they covered trump. i promise this won't be the only evil that is uncovered and people defending those decisions.

You admit that she has " borderline psychotic revenge history" but believe everything she says? Psychotic people believe what they want without needing a good reason to destroy a career. I will tell you that no one has backed her up publicly, which to me is a huge red flag. As for the scientist part I should have clarified better but she has never worked on any data in regards to viruses and the media made her expert for no reason.

Influencing testing guidelines is a bit different then lying about the amount of deaths due to the virus i'm not giving him a pass but it's not apples to apples but you will look at anything to put a negative twist to it especially when it comes to Trump but you would never admit your bias .

 

Cuomo was sending people back to nursing homes which were the people that were the absolute most vulnerable to die from the disease which is quite a bit different than trying to change the testing peramitters to not include asymptomatic people .

 

Some of the responsibility should be on us as responsible adults to recognize when we don't feel well especially with what was going on to have brains enough to not go around others if we feel bad or asymptomatic so again even though they shouldn't get a pass it's quite a bit different when sending those folks back into a situation where the possibility of getting the virus and dying from it for the most vulnerable people is more apt to happen .

where i find a problem is republican scumbags are ousted by mainstream media routinley and the other scumbags have been ignored which is why this "new" story is so infuriating. this story was not a secret. it was well known and is only now being investigated. I'm actually shocked that the media is in unison condemning this. even cnn with the cuomo brothers comedy hour is reporting!? maybe this will be a turning point where both sides get the same scrutiny. im actually catching some good hard  questions in the wh press room lately. hopefully this trend continues as there are loads of corruption and lies to expose on both sides.

The triumph of Politics and Ego over Conscience

 

1) NYS got dealt a tough hand

2) Cuomo made some tough decisions, I'll give him that, although too late

3) Some of his decisions were understandable in the context of the early pandemic, but incorrect from a public-health standpoint

4) Unclear how many deaths in nursing homes resulted from this policy, with widespread community infection and poor infection control policies/lack of PPE meaning many aides caring for the elderly unwittingly spread infection.  Lord knows there are enough nursing home deaths in states that did NOT have this policy

5) Be that as it may, the honorable course of action after the fact, is transparency.  Put the data out there, support investigation, let the chips fall

6) If the aides and subordinates do not follow that course of action, the buck falls on the desk of the man in charge.

 

All that said actions can be despicable and immoral and not illegal.  Hopefully with the "prison on the table" comment at this point, you aren't one of those who respond in other cases calling for investigation prior to "rush to judgement"
