In bad country blah blah

My dad says it’s ridiculous to place the blame on Cuomo for these deaths and he doubts that he did anything wrong at all. My mom agrees :agony-shivering: A small sample size, but libs will most likely give him a pass as well and try to rationalize it in some way. I love my parents, I really do, but it’s stuff like this that makes me glad I’m moving out fairly soon. They just sit in front of the TV all day and repeat/believe whatever they hear, and it’s absolutely nauseating

It’s really bad. Like clockwork, my dad will ask what he was supposed to do and I’ll say everything he could’ve done, but chose not to do and what he did that directly caused covid deaths.

“As governor of the State of New York I did an excellent job of handling the covid emergency. And - this is important - I gave people hope. The media is reporting that covid deaths were undercounted by 12,000 people without context. If you do not have the appropriate context - how can you make a fair judgment? You can’t. You cannot. It is simply impossible.”

“From my grandmother - I have part of a gnocchi recipe to share with you…”

Ingredients (for 2 servings)

  • 4 medium russet potatoes

  • 1 teaspoon salt, plus more for the water

  • 1 teaspoon pepper

  • 1 egg

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, extra to dust

  • 2 tablespoons butter, for pan frying

  • sage leaf

  • 12,000 uncounted covid deaths

“It is delicious and my wife and I enjoy it very much.”

“It is true that changes are a fundamental part Italian cooking. We are culinary improvisers and we have been so for millennia. But you can’t skimp. That would disrespect the memory of grandmother and be a tragedy. The real problem is…”

Imagine what the number is in Florida

We can’t trust the numbers coming out of the U.S., folks

There was some university (U. of Washington maybe) that looked at excess deaths in the US back when the COVID death toll was ~600k, and they estimated about 900k total deaths.

That estimate was made quite a while ago, so it’s likely close to or over a million now.

I love how two governors basically genocided their captive elderly populations. I think at some point seniors above 65 represented 25% of all deaths
