Andrew Cuomo says ‘it’s above my pay grade’

"If this country knew more and knew it earlier, I think we could've saved many, many more lives," Gov. Cuomo says. "Who knew the virus was already here January, February, March? Now, who should have known, it's above my pay grade as governor of one state" LINK
@AGHamilton29
The amount of deflection and passing the buck from Cuomo and BDB is ridiculous. His refusal to clean the subway and choice to turn nursing homes into death traps had nothing to do with a lack of special knowledge. The info was available at the time.

“Who knew herding COVID patients into nursing homes would result in thousands of deaths?”

The Cuomos are slime. They ooze corruption.

The new CDC statement is giving him cover for the subways.

Remove Cuomo's bungling of the COVID19 pandemic along with NJ and MI fricked up Dim leadership and the US looks pretty good in comparison to other countries. Those three states account for approximately 40% of COVID19 cases and deaths.

Hes right you know. Because didn't you see him on CNN with his brother last night. That kind of warm hearted banter is what we need to get us through this. That's leadership. Trump is bad.

Remember when Dems wanted this fraud to replace Biden

See no evil, hear no evil should be the Cuomo Family motto. The first family of cop outs.

He didn't shut the subway down until 3 MONTHS after the outbreak, that's all you need to know.
Pathetic.
You ever been on a NYC subway car? I hopped around on it for a weekend, I can't think of a faster place to spread a virus.

This guy is truly a Dem.
“Anyone who wants to ask, ‘Why did the state do that with COVID patients in nursing homes?’ It’s because the state followed President Trump’s CDC [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention] guidance,” Cuomo told reporters when asked whether he regretted the directive that appears to have resulted in the deaths of thousands of nursing home residents.
He continued: “They should ask President Trump. I think that will stop the conversation.”
“Governor Cuomo continues to point fingers at the federal government. But here are the FACTS regarding CDC guidance: The Governor’s decisions to MANDATE that nursing homes accept COVID-19 patients completely disregards the case-by-case approach recommended by CDC,” she said in a Thursday tweet.
“CDC guidance was clear that decisions about discharging COVID-19 patients should be based on the ability of the accepting facility to meet the recommended infection control practices,” Stefanik added. “This includes the ability to place residents in a designated COVID-19 care unit that is equipped with the resources and PPE to safely prevent the spread of infections.”
If nursing homes are unable to follow the CDC’s guidance, they must wait until patients cannot transmit the virus before they can accept these patients, according to the CDC, she said.
“Governor Cuomo’s MANDATE requires acceptance regardless of a nursing homes capacity to safely accept COVID-19 positive cases,” she added.
Cuomo’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the Daily Caller News Foundation.

I'd pay to see Cuomo and DeSantis duke it out on a debate stage.

The scummy corrupt Cuomo family has had a stranglehold on NY for damn near forty years. It makes me sad to see what they've done to my home state.

This is the guy Dems thought would be their savior from Biden. And then he killed thousands of people. Whoops

Let's see how Cuomo has done so far:
-Highest death rate in US
-Sent infected COVID patients back into NHs and over 5600 elderly died
-Javitz center - barely used
-USS Mercy - pulled up anchor without seeing hardly any patients
-Waited 2 months before addressing subway system which was an incubator for COVID
-Requested 30K ventilators diverting resources from the rest of the US - used only a fraction
-Refuses to allow targeted/phased re-opening while state economy crumbles
-Taxed charitable/non-profit organizations and volunteers that entered NY to assist with crisis
-Blames everyone else and takes no responsibility
Ultimate result - Dem darling lauded as hero

You need to nestle JBE in there as well.
