The COVID Lockdown Nearly Killed NYC — and It Was Andrew Cuomo Who Came Close To Destroying It; Andrew Cuomo Says He Saved NYC During COVID — and Can Save It as Mayor, and other C-Virus related stories

The COVID lockdown nearly killed NYC — and it was Andrew Cuomo who came close to destroying it:

Andrew Cuomo says he saved New York City from COVID-19. Fact check: He brought the Big Apple to its knees and came close to destroying it.

New Yorkers taken with Cuomo’s odious, I’m-your-hero oratory should remember how he screwed us over in 2020.

The former governor and now mayoral wannabe is properly blasted for sending 15,000 COVID victims from hospitals into nursing homes where many more died than needed to — likely as a favor to the hospital industry, which donated over $1 million to his re-election campaign in 2018.

But another Cuomo blunder haunts the city’s life and economy to this day: his stubborn, autocratic, arbitrary and vindictive lockdown and restrictions on stores, restaurants, cinemas, Broadway theaters, live concerts, museums, sports arenas, playgrounds and even zoos — just about anywhere New Yorkers congregate in numbers greater than two.

Harsher rules in city

Some regulations affected the rest of the state as well, but not like they did here, where they remained in force longer and more stringently.

Cuomo actually seemed to have it in for us, falsely claiming that the city’s density made the peril greater than anywhere else. I know it’s tough to sit home and lose track of time, he said, but it’s for your own good!

In fact, he was intoxicated with gubernatorial authority, indifferent to the needs of free enterprise, and — most crucially — out to show former Mayor Bill de Blasio who the real sheriff in town was. Hint: It wasn’t the mayor.

After de Blasio jumped the gun on calling for school closures in April 2020, Cuomo never got over what he regarded as an effort to upstage him with a move that properly belonged to him — and he took it out on the rest of us. —>READ MORE HERE

Andrew Cuomo says he saved NYC during COVID — and can save it as mayor — in first appearance since campaign launch:

Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo made his first appearance since throwing his hat into the ring in the Big Apple mayor’s race – telling supporters he saved the city during the pandemic and he can now save it from its current woes.

Cuomo, 67, was introduced by his daughters as he spoke at a carpenter’s union headquarters on Manhattan’s West Side.

“COVID, my friends, was the greatest threat faced in a generation,” the former governor said. “It was life and death, it was as serious as it gets and it was as scary as it gets. And New York, we had it first and we had it worst and we were on our own, and no one knew what to do? But what did we do? We came together, we stood tall, we stood strong and we faced the challenge head on.

“Everyone did their part,” he said. “And we kept this place, we kept this place running and we saved lives and we led the nation. So can we handle this challenge? You’re damned right we can.”

The son of former Gov. Mario Cuomo, Andrew Cuomo entered the mayoral race Saturday after months of speculation and is now part of a crowded field of candidates hoping to unseat Mayor Eric Adams.

His entrance into the race makes him the immediate frontrunner, with big name recognition and polls that show him holding a dominating lead over the competition

Cuomo piloted the Empire State during the COVID crisis, providing regular press conferences to keep the public informed and issuing a series of mandates to try to stem the pandemic. —>READ MORE HERE
