ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — New York Gov. Kathy Hochul promised more government transparency on her first day in office and by day’s end her administration had quietly delivered it by acknowledging nearly 12,000 more deaths in the state from COVID-19 than had been publicized by her predecessor, Andrew Cuomo.

New York now reports nearly 55,400 people have died of COVID-19 in New York based on death certificate data submitted to the CDC, up from about 43,400 that Gov. Cuomo had reported to the public as of Monday, his last day in office.

“We’re now releasing more data than had been released before publicly, so people know the nursing home deaths and the hospital deaths are consistent with what’s being displayed by the CDC,” Hochul said Wednesday on MSNBC. “There’s a lot of things that weren’t happening and I’m going to make them happen. Transparency will be the hallmark of my administration.”

Cuomo covered up the deaths of thousands of people and it had zero affect on his political career

Well, sort of:

New York Governor Adds 12,000 COVID Deaths to Predecessor Cuomo’s Count

https://www.nationalreview.com/news/new-york-governor-adds-12000-deaths-to-covid-count-that-went-unacknowledged-by-cuomo/?utm_source=email&utm_medium=breaking&utm_campaign=newstrack&utm_term=24850931

New York governor Kathy Hochul’s administration on Wednesday reported close to 12,000 additional coronavirus deaths that were unacknowledged by predecessor Andrew Cuomo.

Around 54,000 people died of COVID-19 in New York since the start of the pandemic through July, according to data the state provided to the federal government. However, in press releases and updates, the state’s Department of Health reported just 43,000 COVID-19 deaths, a discrepancy first reported by the Associated Press in July.

If I understand this correctly, Cuomo's peeps reported one Covid deaths number to the Feds, and a >20% lower number to the MSM.

That's pretty much exactly what happened, PeteS. The lower number was probably a little closer to accurate, but since the CDC wanted "probable" deaths to inflate the gravity of the situation, Cuomo complied.

He needs to be impeached and lose his pension

She is trying to cut her public ties to him.  She isn't simply doing her civic duty.

My understanding is that the only reason she was picked was because she was a woman and they did not have much of a working relationship.
