Not only that, there was also the practice that Whitmer and Cumo engaged in of deliberately putting Covid patients into nursing homes. New York's death rate was astronomical compared to everyone, and no one could figure out why. Cuomo said that the hospitals were completely overwhelmed and over-flooded. That's when people began video-taping trips to hospitals. Empty hospitals and empty parking lots, all while the governor was saying that they were completely flooded and we needed whole additional field hospitals to house patients (hospitals that were never used).
Turns out that when he sent Covid patients into the nursing homes, the extremely old, low mobility, dementia ridden, heavily medicated, patients got sick from Covid and died. This is because, of course they would, they already have badly weakened immune systems. And even if they didn't and something else killed them, as Adamrises pointed out, fuck you we counted it as a Covid death anyway because obviously every single person in that nursing home has Covid due to there being no capacity for nursing homes to contain the most aggressively infectious disease on record.
Any idiot could have told Cuomo and his staff that putting vulnerable nursing home patients in with Covid patients would likely kill the nursing home residents because of their weakened state, and the nursing homes had literally no capacity to control an outbreak with a virus that infectious. Instead they rolled right on through and didn't think for one second about the consequences until it became obvious and they had to start covering it up.
Cuomo seems to be guilty of 50,000 counts of negligent homicide.
Whitmer seems to be guilty of around 15,000.
