Why New York is the epicenter of the American coronavirus outbreak

I know this is an unreliable source but here you go from the New York Times.

"Nearly One-Third of U.S. Coronavirus Deaths Are Linked to Nursing Homes"

Come on now I don't why many here are denying that Cuomo and other Governors (ie New Jersey) completely screwed up with their Nursing Home policies, which exposed the most vulnerable population to COVID, when it has been widely reported that they did so by even the left wing press.

I'm not even sure what point you're trying to make anymore. According to the NYT article nursing homes have accounted for 1/3 of all deaths in the US, that's not even close to accounting for the majority so even if you took those away covid was burning like a wild fire early on killing more than just the most vulnerable.

And of course it killed a ton of people in nursing homes they were the most vulnerable population.

Huh what percentage of the population do you think live in Nursing homes?

So less than .05% of the population has 40% of the deaths. The issue is Cuomo and other Governors policies sent those infected to the worst possible place they could have sent them (The nursing homes), and then they were reluctant to change those policies for quite some time after it became a disaster, and then they tried to cover it up (Cuomo and probably Whitmer should be going to jail for the later as that was an illegal action).

"........Though the DOJ’s investigation was dropped, Cuomo still faces several other probes related to his nursing home order, as well as allegations of corruption and sexual harassment.....Cuomo is under criminal investigation by the U.S. attorney’s office in the Eastern District of New York (EDNY), along with the FBI, for his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. Other than the nursing home order itself, the governor is under scrutiny for refusing to release data on nursing home deaths, a decision which the governor blamed on fear of political retaliation from President Donald Trump, and for silencing health officials who attempted to report accurate death numbers.

“There is proof that our governor and his administration went to such great lengths to cover up the true death toll....,”
