Governor Cuomo, in a tearful appearance, apologized for what he could have done differently regarding nursing homes and Covid-19.

The decision to allow nursing homes to accept patients suffering with Covid-19 and then shield the repercussions of that decision was poorly conceived. The more transparency the better when the public faces a national crisis. The public is currently in a massive state of distrust when it comes to national leaders and institutions and these actions do nothing to engender the sort of faith that needs to be instilled for a functioning democracy to continue.
