Cuomo, much like de Blasio, is the worst thing to happen to New Yorkers in decades. Let me explain:
In New York there is a 24-person board called the PHHPC that decides what happens in all New York hospitals. All 24 people are hand picked by Cuomo. https://www.health.ny.gov/facilities/public_health_and_health_planning_council/">https://www.health.ny.gov/facilitie...

For years Cuomo and his merry band of hand-picked minions have been quietly slashing the number of hospital beds across the state. https://nyshealthfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/empowering-new-york-consumers-era-of-hospital-consolidaiton-full-report.pdf">https://nyshealthfoundation.org/wp-conten...
One example that got media attention was Beth Israel Hospital: Cuomo supported slashing the 800 bed hospital in Manhattan to a measly 70 beds.... in 2016. https://www.politico.com/states/new-york/city-hall/story/2016/05/major-downsizing-at-beth-israel-would-redraw-manhattan-health-care-map-103491">https://www.politico.com/states/ne...
In 2015 Cuomo was told that the state& #39;s stockpile of medical equipment had 16,000 fewer ventilators than New Yorkers would need in case of a severe pandemic. https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2020/03/18/new_yorks_ventilator_rationing_plan_142685.html">https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/...
New York had the money at the time, but Cuomo decided to pull an Obama and splurge on green energy in a scandal that would be known as Buffalo Billion. His $750 million failed solar panel company in Buffalo. https://nypost.com/2019/08/28/cuomos-buffalo-billion-tainted-tesla-solar-city-faces-audit/">https://nypost.com/2019/08/2...
Enter Coronavirus:
On March 1, 2020 Cuomo told New Yorkers not to worry about the virus “it’s under control,” and assured New Yorkers that the general coronavirus risk in the state “remains low.”

On March 2, Cuomo held a press conference “So, when you’re saying, what happened in other countries versus what happened here, we don’t even think it’s going to be as bad as it was in other countries.” https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/08/nyregion/new-york-coronavirus-response-delays.html">https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/0...
Only to do an about face a few days later and declare a state of emergency. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8086485/amp/New-York-Governor-Cuomo-declares-state-emergency-coronavirus-number-cases-skyrockets.html">https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...
We learned after the US was in lockdown, with countless dead and suffering, that NY had infected the entire country thanks to the ineffective leadership of Cuomo. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/07/us/new-york-city-coronavirus-outbreak.html">https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/0...
In March, Cuomo pleaded for volunteer nurses and other healthcare workers to help NY. How did he repay the kindness of countless healthcare workers who came to NY’s aid? By taxing them. #18b021e75f12">https://www.forbes.com/sites/patrickgleason/2020/05/08/andrew-cuomo-confirms-new-york-will-tax-out-of-state-volunteer-health-workers-congress-can-stop-this/ #18b021e75f12">https://www.forbes.com/sites/pat...
Cuomo demanded 30,000 ventilators from FEMA during the pandemic in a well publicized spat with Trump. After being rightly called out for storing 10’s of thousands in a warehouse, Cuomo’s excuse was that they were there because hospitals don’t need them yet https://www.wusa9.com/mobile/article/news/health/coronavirus/verify-debate-over-new-york-ventilator-stockpile-is-taking-quotes-and-images-out-of-context/507-45324ea7-7449-4528-9993-036883afb491">https://www.wusa9.com/mobile/ar...
It turned out that NY hospitals didn’t need them after all, since Cuomo was sending them all over the country after only using roughly 5,000. https://www.nationalreview.com/2020/04/coronavirus-crisis-ventilator-shortages-have-not-come-to-pass/">https://www.nationalreview.com/2020/04/c...
The hands down, biggest mistake of all, was Cuomo forcing nursing homes to accept coronavirus patients, which was a devastating order. Something he has yet to take responsibility for.
Shortly after news broke about the Nursing home death sentence, the New York Health Department website quietly deleted the Cuomo order that forced nursing homes to admit coronavirus patients that led to thousands upon thousands of deaths. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8360381/amp/New-York-Health-Department-website-deletes-order-stating-nursing-homes-shouldnt-deny-admissions.html?__twitter_impression=true">https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...
The exact number of Nursing home deaths may never be known because Cuomo is refusing to divulge the actual number. NYHC Howard Zucker stated: “It seems, sir, that in this case you are choosing to define it differently so that you can look better.” https://apnews.com/212ccd87924b6906053703a00514647f">https://apnews.com/212ccd879...
In a move that shocked absolutely no one, Cuomo quietly gave legal immunity to nursing home executives from coronavirus lawsuits after raking in $2.3 million in campaign cash from the industry. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8362913/amp/Governor-Cuomo-gave-legal-immunity-nursing-home-executives.html?__twitter_impression=true">https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...
This doesn’t even get into the hundreds of millions of dollars he wasted on pet projects across the state, or the fact that, thanks to a hefty raise, Cuomo will be pocketing $250,000 by 2021, making him the highest paid Gov in the Nation. https://www.democratandchronicle.com/story/news/politics/albany/2019/04/01/state-budget-approved-cuomo-and-lawmakers-get-pay-raises/3329199002/">https://www.democratandchronicle.com/story/new...
New York, with Cuomo and de Blasio at the helm, is now ranked worst in the country for economic outlook. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8621983/amp/New-York-state-ranked-WORST-country-economic-outlook-businesses-begin-flee.html?__twitter_impression=true">https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...
You wouldn’t know any of this from Cuomo’s appearances on his quasi press secretary’s show on CNN. According to baby bro, all is glorious in Cuomoland. It’s like watching a clapping seal.
Cuomo’s ability to drive a once thriving economy into the ground, infect the entire country with a pandemic, and kill thousands of elderly in short order with nary a peep from a compliant press is astounding. But, sure, Cuomo is amazing and his stellar judgment should be trusted
