Time to Talk About #Me-Too

By Jean Godden

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has been a gift and a burden on multiple fronts. During the height of the pandemic he held daily news conferences, laced with common sense.  Almost by default, he became the anti-Trump. Cuomo was much admired for his straight talk, as well as for his sympathetic chats with his covid-afflicted younger brother.

But, as we have recently discovered, there is back story and it is not to the governor's credit. While he was supposedly giving us frank news about pandemic losses, he was covering up or at least fudging his state's nursing home death statistics. Apparently, it was a botched attempt to burnish his image. It was not a good move since hard numbers eventually have a way of surfacing.
