Will the truth come out how this administration made blunder after blunder?

[aygart]

I really have no idea where you’re going with this. What was wrong with what I said?

I responded to this inane comment:

and I replied to this

Where did those people with the virus “forced” into the facilities get infected? Wuhan? What was the (flawed) reasoning behind the policy?

[S209]

and I replied to this

I wrote flawed in that comment. And I think in retrospect it was terrible. But it was irrelevant to the conversation at the time. My point was that it didn’t happen in a vacuum and was not the defining difference between the US and elsewhere and you’re nuts if you think it is.

If I don’t vocally condemn the policy each time it’s mentioned I’m “brushing it aside”? What would you like me to say?

[S209]

See my clarification above. It had written a response to @S209 defending Coumo by saying that we were less successful than others AT THAT TIME. That is UTTER STUPIDITY AND REVISIONIST HISTORY.

When did I defend his decision?! I strongly disagree with it and think it was a horrible decision. As I have stated before many times.

[Afrages6]

Let's not forget Coumo didn't actually inhibit facilities from quarntining Covid suspected residents returned from hospitals.

Wasn’t possible or reasonable to do for most nursing homes. And they were forbidden from testing incoming residents!!!!

That part is completely indefensible no matter which way you slice it.

And no reason at all to Dan him lkaf zechus!

[iluv2travel]

And no reason at all to Dan him lkaf zechus!

Nor to write statements such as this:

but Coumo has done his best to help NY.

I don't care what Trump was doing. But Cuomo was (and is) most certainly not doing his best to help anybody but his self image. And I'll repeat, those policies were:

completely indefensible no matter which way you slice it.

[avromie7]

Right, we were unsuccessful at keeping the virus at bay like other countries were. That’s the point. Cuomo is not responsible for the large discrepancy between the countries mentioned.

Related question: Is the percentage of deaths in nursing homes vs. other locations different in Florida and Texas than NY?

It's hard to know because Cuomo fudged the numbers.

The US has 3x the death rate of Canada.
38k people died in NYS from Covid. At most Cuomo is responsible for 10% of US deaths. Even if you don't count them, the US has one of the highest death rates in the world.

Coumo made a horrific mistake, but it was done at the height of extreme fear and unknown conditions (because the Federal government blocked testing), and quickly rectified. The same mistake was made by ~25 other governments. Let's not forget Coumo didn't actually inhibit facilities from quarntining Covid suspected residents returned from hospitals. Trump is still promoting large congregations without masks, and Pence is skiing in Vail while shifting responsibility for vaccination to the states. Yes, the States are responsible, but the Federal gov't should be helping instead of vacationing.

I know most people here are irreparably convinced of Coumo-Bad-Trump-Good, but Coumo has done his best to help NY. Trump is playing golf and doing nothing.

Cuomo wasn't the only governor to issue such an order. NJ, PA, and IL among other states had the same murderous order. Additionally, filling up hospitals with nursing home patients let to a much lower standard of care for everyone else.

Last Sept, Politico reported that Trump appointees at HHS interfered with CDC reports on Covid (h/t @azeen)

I got the emails via #FOIA (quoted by Politico) laying bare the political interference by Trump's appointees.

Just stunning. pic.twitter.com/JY16JWrDLQ

I don’t get how the pictures in the tweet show interference.

Did you bother reading the email? I don't see anything wrong with it.

He's accusing them of posting inaccurate summaries for political gain.

[aygart]

Well, now that there is a new "this administration," lets see how they are doing.

Listening to Fauci science? NOPE!

Looks like they took their tweets private. What did it say?
