Part 2/8:
Cuomo's tenure as governor was marred by a scandal that led to the deaths of approximately 8,000 nursing home residents during the COVID-19 pandemic. His administration’s transfer policy mandated nursing homes to accept COVID-positive patients without prior testing, effectively placing vulnerable populations at grave risk. This policy not only contributed to the tragic death toll but also sparked outrage as Cuomo allegedly underreported the number of fatalities in the nursing homes, possibly to protect his political ambitions.
