New York City Guv Andrew Cuomo was hailed as a COVID-19 hero for staging regular interview during the pandemic– regardless of his state experiencing the most COVID deaths, his performative blockade of New Rochelle in the early days of the pandemic, his clumsy handling of restaurants and schools, his childish infighting with Mayor de Blasio, and the fact that he positioned people contaminated with COVID-19 back into assisted living home, resulting in thousands of deaths. That last point was tossed into sharper relief this past week after among Cuomo’s leading aides, Melissa DeRosa, exposed that their administration kept data on COVID-19 nursing home deaths While the Cuomo administration reported 9,154 nursing home deaths due to COVID-19, the genuine number was far higher: 15,049
On Monday night, The Daily Program host Trevor Noah wasn’t purchasing the Cuomo administration’s reason that they ‘d kept the damning data over issues that the Trump Justice Department may in turn hold it against them.
” Wow. Truly, Governor Cuomo? You lowered your own numbers to make yourself look better? Woof,” said Noah. “And the explanation that they’re choosing is they thought the Trump administration would utilize the high nursing home deaths against them, which, yeah. Usually if you’re refraining from doing an excellent task, it gets used against you. That’s the entire point of data! This would resemble if the Kansas City Chiefs stated, begun, you’re gon na look at the scoreboard? Isn’t it enough that I’m informing you that I won the Super Bowl? Begin!”
Noah continued: “And when you consider it, messing with COVID numbers to make yourself look much better is just about the Trumpiest thing you can do– which is paradoxical, considering that the main factor Cuomo ended up being a pandemic hero is that he was offering useful, meaningful interview while Trump was trying to inject people with bleach. It’s like, if you take a bowl of Chef Boyardee and you put it beside a bowl of worms, the fact that it’s next to something so revolting makes those worms look truly delicious.”
Eventually, Noah appeared understandably outraged that Cuomo had protected the public from the ugly truth– which assisted keep the illusion that he was some type of COVID-fighting hero, when he was anything but.
” I do not care what anybody says. For me, you can not validate doing the wrong thing because you state, oh, Trump may have or might not have or would have– no,” argued Noah. “You did the wrong thing.”
If all that weren’t enough, Cuomo actually had the audacity to publish a book in October about how well he was managing the pandemic entitled American Crisis: Leadership Lessons of the COVID-19 Pandemic How Cuomo had the ability to pen a whole damn 320- page book– and carry out a virtual press trip for it– while so “skillfully” managing the COVID-19 crisis is anyone’s guess.
For the record: 45,552 New Yorkers have passed away of COVID-19 sometimes of composing.
