Top Dems have told him to resign and I agree, he should.
I disagree .. based on the precedent set by the #metoo movement as well as other Democrats (e.g. Al Franken) who overstepped their boundaries with the ladies, it's pretty obvious what the outcome should be.There is no reason for him to resign. However, there certainly are reasons for New Yorkers to not vote for him again.

What do you consider sexual harrassment? I agree some of them are weak, but if you're thinking of Harvey Weinstein, he went far beyond harrassment.My question is WHY NOW? Frankly it smacks of politics.
Frankly..none of the accusations I have seen smack of sexual harassment.
1. Touching in a sexual manner. The italian " Il bacetto" and French "une Bise"... are not considered sexual in the italian and french cultures.What do you consider sexual harrassment? I agree some of them are weak, but if you're thinking of Harvey Weinstein, he went far beyond harrassment.
His utter disregard for life in his nursing home orders disqualifies him from holding office - immediatelyThere is no reason for him to resign. However, there certainly are reasons for New Yorkers to not vote for him again.
Yeah.. that accusation is bunk.His utter disregard for life in his nursing home orders disqualifies him from holding office - immediately
?? He didn't order COVID positive patients back into facilities with the most vulnerable to the virus?Yeah.. that accusation is bunk.

?? He didn't order COVID positive patients back into facilities with the most vulnerable to the virus?
But a study published this week out of Singapore found that 70% are still positive 15 days after the first sign of COVID-19. That means more than a million U.S. residents who’ve had the coronavirus might still test positive beyond the period when research shows they can infect others.

His order didn;t make any difference medically.
A patient who has been in the hospital and treated for covid.. can be medically transferred when they are medically stable.. and have been in the hospital long enough to not be infectious.
Thats standard medical practice and Cuomo's order didn;t change that.
Covid patients who are not infectious may continue to test positive for months..
I would. In fact I have since I have friends and family that live in NY. They did not contract the virus from patients he "ordered back into the nursing homes"..Tell that to the families of the thousands of dead who contracted the virus from these patients he ordered back into the nursing homes.
Bullshit. Standard medical practice is to quarantine infectious patients
I would. In fact I have since I have friends and family that live in NY. They did not contract the virus from patients he "ordered back into the nursing homes"..
Think about that a minute.. if they were ordered BACK to the nursing home... WHERE DID THEY CONTRACT IT IN THE FIRST PLACE..?? In the nursing home and most likely from staff.
Yes.. standard practice is to quarantine infections patients.. which is WHAT THEY DID IN THE HOSPITAL... and when they were medically stable and out of the infections period.. they were transferred. That was then.. and is now standard medical practice.
Unless you are willing to believe that thousands of physicians and nurses.. sent patients back to the nursing home.. knowingly violated standard medical practice and knowingly putting thousands of nursing home residents at risk and their medical licenses at risk.. not to mention lawsuits etc.
What evidence? I provided it. Its the medical facts around covid infection.Other than Cuomo's word, what evidence do you have of this? How about friends? Or relatives? Or at the hospital itself?
Don't put this on the nurses ... Cuomo ordered them back into the nursing homes.
Hospital discharge planning staff and NHs should carefully review this guidance with all staff directly involved in resident admission, transfer, and discharges. During this global health emergency, all NHs must comply with the expedited receipt of residents returning from hospitals to NHs. Residents are deemed appropriate for return to a NH upon a determination by the hospital physician or designee that the resident is medically stable for return. Hospital discharge planners must confirm to the NH, by telephone, that the resident is medically stable for discharge. Comprehensive discharge instructions must be provided by the hospital prior to the transport of a resident to the NH. No resident shall be denied re-admission or admission to the NH solely based on a confirmed or suspected diagnosis of COVID-19. NHs are prohibited from requiring a hospitalized resident who is determined medically stable to be tested for COVID-19 prior to admission or readmission. Information for healthcare providers on COVID-19 is readily available on the New York State
LOL Just curious, why are you so invested in defending this scumbag?What evidence? I provided it. Its the medical facts around covid infection.
Yeah,.,, read the order:
To be transferred.. they had to be MEDICALLY Stable... which means that they have had to be improving in symptoms.. they had to be afebrile without medication.. they had to be out of the infectious period.
Your evidence proves my point.
Once a person has had covid 19.. they can still test positive for months.. even though they are not infectious. All this order was to do.. was to prevent nursing homes from refusing to take NON INFECTIOUS PATIENTS... simply because they would continue to test positive.. again.. though NOT INFECTIOUS.
I could care less about cuomo. Cuomo and his downstate politics are partly why I left NY.LOL Just curious, why are you so invested in defending this scumbag?
Have they given you the talking points as to why he tried to cover it up, if he did nothing wrong?
I could care less about cuomo. Cuomo and his downstate politics are partly why I left NY.
What I care about is the truth. I am just frankly tired of the constant lying.. particularly about medical information...
What really pisses me off... is that people who spent months and months saying that this was "just a hoax by the democrats..,, that masks don;t work.. that we shouldn;t "shut down the economy"... that "it only kills one percent"...
Now all of sudden..... those same people give a crap about people dying from covid? Please.. they are using death for political fodder.. and they care only because it suits them.
No one gives me talking points. The only one here with talking points is you "he sent infected people to the nursing home to kill them"...
They were medically stable, which allowed them to be transported. But they were also infectious, which required them to be quarantined. But his order REQUIRED nursing homes to take in infectious patients. I really don't know why uo are having problem grasping this.Yet your own evidence shows that ONLY When they were appropriate for transfer by a physician could they be transferred.
You should really try and follow the news before you defend this scumbag any more.Why cover it up? First I have no evidence yet that he DID try to cover it up...
Yeah no.. medically stable in this case included not infectious since they had actual symptoms which sent them into the hospital..Perhaps you are confusing me with another poster? Or are you just being a dick and misquoting me?
