Gov. Andrew Cuomo Had the Worst Response to the Crisis of Any Governor in America

The press has been gushing about the performance of New York Governor Andrew Cuomo for weeks. The media often compares Cuomo’s “decisive†response to the coronavirus pandemic to the president, and guess who always wins?
Whether it’s good PR from the governor’s office or just the media worshipping a liberal who says mean things about Donald Trump, it hardly matters. What matters is results. And in that department, Andrew Cuomo has been a miserable failure — using several metrics.
And it’s not just the numbers. The panicky, sometimes hysterical New York governor began whining about the federal government (specifically the president) not doing anything to help the states with getting medical supplies. Back in March, he kept saying he needed 30-40,000 ventilators. And when Trump pointed out that was silly, he accused the president of being an unfeeling monster.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo Had the Worst Response to the Crisis of Any Governor in America
PJ Media, May 2, 2020, Rick Moran
[...]
As of yesterday, New York had experienced 18,610 deaths, nearly 30 percent of the total number of deaths out of 64,406 in the United States. Yes, New York has a high population density, but so does California. And the Golden State has twice as many people and only 2,135 deaths.
Even high population density states on the East Coast are doing better than New York. Pennsylvania, for instance, has two-thirds the population of New York and a similar population density (New York’s is 358 people per square mile, Pennsylvania’s 278 per square mile), but the Keystone State only has 2,418 deaths. It’s not population density that’s contributed to the coronavirus tragedy in New York. It’s bad governance.
This is “competence� This is “decisiveness�
Cuomo didn’t lock down the state until March 20 — not until there were nearly 3,000 cases of COVID-19 in the state. Nobody recalls Cuomo arguing with New York Mayor Bill de Blasio over who had the authority to close the schools after most major cities had already shuttered the schools. Meanwhile, New Yorkers were getting sick and many eventually died.
Then there are the nursing homes. Yesterday, they found 100 dead bodies in a Brooklyn nursing home. And fingers are pointing at Cuomo’s policies. Former Governor George Pataki made it clear whose fault it was.

Cuomo’s nursing home policies amid coronavirus ‘a disaster,’ says ex-Gov. Pataki
NY Post, May 1, 2020
Former Gov. George Pataki slammed Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s nursing home policies during the coronavirus pandemic as a “disaster†that may have unnecessarily caused the deaths of “thousands†of vulnerable elderly residents.
In a rare swipe at his successor Friday night, Pataki called for an independent probe “so this never happens again.â€
Pataki said the state Health Department should never have issued an edict requiring nursing homes to accept coronavirus virus patients into nursing home facilities filled with sick, elderly patients — the population most at risk from the killer COVID-19 bug.
Compounding the misguided policy, Pataki said, is that the nursing homes lacked the personal protective equipment or testing capability to isolate and contain the spread of COVID-19.
Pataki also said he was dumbfounded as to why infected patients were sent to nursing homes instead of “hundreds of unused beds†at the two temporary hospitals at the Javits Center and the Navy’s USNS Comfort hospital ship.
“Gov. Cuomo’s handling of the nursing homes has been a disaster,†Pataki, the former-three term governor, told The Post.
“Thousands of people lives might not have been lost except for these tragic policies.â€
Pataki, a Republican who served between 1995 and 2006 said, “Everybody knew that the most vulnerable population was senior citizens. And the most vulnerable senior citizens are in nursing homes.â€
Pataki said the nursing homes didn’t have adequate personal protective equipment to protect their existing staff and patients.
“To compound the problem, the state required nursing homes to admit coronavirus patients. Anyone should have known this would be a problem — to require nursing homes to take in coronavirus patients,†he said.
He also rapped Cuomo for saying “it’s not our job†to provide masks and gowns to nursing homes, though state officials were doing so.
“It is the executive’s job,†Pataki said.

"Come to New York. See the parade. Get sick and die."
Not really good tourist brochure stuff.
(Hey buddy! Wanna buy a ventilator?)

Cuomo’s a show boater and mostly incompetent. He never misses an opportunity to tax more. I’ll take Trump’s sometimes incomprehensible sentence structures to Cuomo’s thuggish attitude any day.
Anyway, it’s not about style, it’s about substance and Cuomo’s got none.

He's actually making his brother Fredo seem somewhat competent. Sort of.

Gov. Tom Wolf of Pennsylvania — America’s worst?
By Bill Steigerwald | May 10, 2020
The governor of Pennsylvania, Tom Wolf, continues to make sure he holds on to his well-earned title of worst governor in state history.
He and his dictatorial health department bureaucrats completely over-reacted to the initial threat of Covid-19, issuing strict statewide shutdown orders and social-distancing decrees when they should have been concentrating their efforts on where the actual risk was — the Philly area and nursing homes.
Gov. Wolf and his health ‘experts’ have done unimaginable harm to the people of the state with their sweeping, one-shutdown-fits-all-counties, Nanny State approach. ...

Just posted the two cuomo stories to my bookface page, waiting for my liberal d!ckhead BIL's head to explode, after his posts the other day that Fredo's brother is doing better than Trump. Thank you.

I just posted this on the "Cuomo Killed My Mother" thread:
What Cuomo did to the elderly in the nursing homes is the ugliest thing I think I've ever seen. Not only did he force them to admit and readmit COVID-19 patients, but he also prohibited them from testing the patients and workers! WTF! Is COVID-19 a "protected disease," like AIDS? The leftists didn't want people tested for that, either.
Signing that EO was signing thousands of death warrants. This isn't just evil, it's Adolf Hitler level evil.

Cuomo/hospitals did not send positive COVID-19 patients to nursing homes.

How can you know that? Cuomo's EO on the subject explicitly prohibited testing patients who were being admitted to the nursing homes.

This nursing home disaster is on you, Gov. Cuomo: Goodwin
NY Post, May 5, 2020, Michael Goodwin
[...]
“The nursing home has to make the decision,†he said Tuesday. “If they don’t think they can take care of someone, all they have to do is say no.â€
In this case, he “knows†something that’s simply not true, according to nursing home executives. The March 25 order that forced infected patients on them allows for no exceptions and has not been changed.
The killer fifth paragraph still reads: “No resident shall be denied re-admission or admission to the NH solely based on a confirmed or suspected diagnosis of COVID-19. NHs are prohibited from requiring a hospitalized resident who is determined medically stable to be tested for COVID-19 prior to Âadmission or readmission.â€
Owners and managers said Tuesday they are not aware of any loosening of the policy. They also say that hospitals still are referring infected patients to them on a near-daily basis and they are expected to take them if they have an empty bed.
To them, the March 25 order was a death sentence. Some facilities say they had no deaths or even positive patients before that date, but many of both since, including among staff members.
Recall, too, the experience of Donny Tuchman, CEO of Brooklyn’s Cobble Hill Health Center. On April 24, when his facility already had lost 55 patients, he showed reporters email exchanges with the Department of Health where he got no help when he asked for relief. Even his Ârequest to have some of the ÂCOVID-19 patients sent to the Javits Center or the Navy ship Comfort, both of which were well below capacity, was rejected.
Cuomo, in response, has constructed an evolving litany of self-defenses, once coldly asserting it was “not our job†to help the homes get protective equipment for their staffs, even as other officials said the equipment was being provided. His office claimed the state policy mirrored federal policy, which, as the AP noted in its report, isn’t true. The feds never mandated that nursing homes be forced to accept COVID-19 patients.

So ....... this didn't happen? https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/cuomo-reverses-nursing-home-directive-to-take-covid-19-patients-requires-more-staff-testing/2410533/ (https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/cuomo-reverses-nursing-home-directive-to-take-covid-19-patients-requires-more-staff-testing/2410533/) NBC New York lied?
The link for the actual "advisory" from the State of NY is https://coronavirus.health.ny.gov/system/files/documents/2020/03/doh_covid19-_nhadmissionsreadmissions_-032520.pdf (https://coronavirus.health.ny.gov/system/files/documents/2020/03/doh_covid19-_nhadmissionsreadmissions_-032520.pdf) , but the State of NY has taken it down. On the other hand, Google has it cached, https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:-t0djWRejIkJ:https://coronavirus.health.ny.gov/system/files/documents/2020/03/doh_covid19-_nhadmissionsreadmissions_-032520.pdf+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us (https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:-t0djWRejIkJ:https://coronavirus.health.ny.gov/system/files/documents/2020/03/doh_covid19-_nhadmissionsreadmissions_-032520.pdf+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us) . Are Google and the State of NY also lying?
Governor Cuomo and the State of NY Health people have blood on their hands, lots of it.

As a general rule, any time Democrats accuse conservatives of wrongdoing, it is because they are already doing it themselves.

@Victoria33
I've seen 4 or 5 very credible reports saying otherwise. A few have already been subsequently added by others on this thread. Do you have specific infomation that he did not? Apparently, one angry resident in NY has already voiced their anger. (sorry I am not good at image sizing)
