Remember, Cuomo didn't use the US Navy medical ship that he provided to him, and then he blamed Trump for NY's covid deaths.
Liberals are incapable of shame.
Cuomo was told by the CDC years ago thatNY needed to purchase more ventilator beds to be ready for a possible future pandemic. Cuomo ignored them and invested in a failed Green Energy project instead. When the pandemic hit, Cuomo pleaded with President Trump for help, and Trump delivered. Governor Cuomo, along withseveral other Democrat Governors President Trump aided, PRAISED the President for his quick action and help.
Later, as you brought up, Governor Cuomo was extremelyafraid of a PREDICTED massive wave of hospitization-required COVID-19 infections, Cuom pleaded with President Trump for assistance, claiming NY did not have enough hospital beds for what was predicted to be coming.
1. Fearing a non-existent hospital bed shortage, based on what they THOUGHT was going to happen, Gov Cuomo made the conscious decision - after publicly acknowledging the elderly were the most likely to die from the virus - to issue a mandate to force nursing homes to accept virus-infected patients into nursing homes in order to keep hospital beds open for non-existent COVID-19 cases they thought would happen in the FUTURE. The result, of course, was the needless deaths of over 15,000 elderly Americans.
Cuomo made the conscious decion to SACRIFICE the elderly to be in a position to save lives later IF the virus-infected cases they thought were coming did happen.
2. At the same time, President Trump responded to Cuomo's 2nd pleas for help byhaving the Army Corp of Engineers BUILD cuomo a hospital and ordered a USN Hospital Ship to NY Harbor to provide additional bed space to ensure NY's hospitals were not overwhelmed.
In the end, the hospital was DE-constructed (torn down), and the USN Hospital Ship sailed away DUE TO LACK OF USE. The massive wave of hospitalization-required virus cases did not come, NY hospitals were NOT overwhelmed, hospital beds were left UN-filled, and Cuomo's Nursing Home Mandate sent THOUSANDS of elderly Americans to their deaths for NOTHING.....and Cuomo was given an
AWARD for his
'LEADERSHIP' skills for how masterfulkly he managed the pandemic in NY. (Perhaps it was a naward for Unfulfilled Potential', like Barry's Nobel Peace Prize.

)
As the bodies piled up and went un-reported, Biden attempted to blame everyone else but himself for his failures, to especially include President Trump, who more than once came to his aid to bail his ass out for massive mismanagement and incompetence. SNL, Democrats, and the leftist MSM fauned over him, praised him, and stroked his undeserved ego.
NOW the truth comes out - Cuomo DID deserve the EMMY he receved...for his incredibly good job ACTING. His performance in front of the cameras and microphones was incredible, as he and his team criminally hid the criminal consequences of his deadly Nursing Home mandate.
