Trevor Noah slammed government Andrew Cuomo over his administration’s handling of data surrounding COVID-19 in nursing homes, in a recent episode of ‘The Daily Show’.
It was recently revealed that the governor’s office may have underestimated the number of coronavirus deaths in nursing homes by more than 50%, according to a report by New York Attorney General Letitia James.
QUICK FACTS
- The majority of New Yorkers disapprove of Cuomo’s handling of reporting deaths in nursing homes.
- Cuomo said his team prefers to prioritize the federal investigation and that state lawmakers are being informed that their request for data will be interrupted in the meantime.
And one of the biggest bombs exploded Thursday when the New York Post revealed that Cuomo’s front-runner, Melissa DeRosa, admitted during a conference with Democratic leaders that the government had unfavorable information about the state’s nursing home COVID-19 hid because of concerns that it “would be used against us.”
“Wow, really, Governor Cuomo?” Asked Noah during the episode. “Did you lower your own numbers to make yourself look better?”
