I see political amnesia setting in... I made the mistake of watching another episode of Bill Maher's show and he brought up DeSantis as an example of a republican who "reads" and handled COVID in nursing homes much better than Cuomo. This got me so pissed I turned it off. Are we now going to praise DeSantis who despite the data showing a spike of new cases, reopened Florida unleashing an avoidable summer wave on his state?! Is this like the new standard of good now?! If anybody read the NY OAG prelim report on NH deaths, the main predictor and thus likely driver of nursing home mortality was extremely severe understaffing. So to compare the states, we need to take population density and pre-COVID staffing differences into consideration, otherwise the comparison is just a political dog and pony show without much meaning.
