The sexual assault allegations have sealed his fate. Cuomo is definitely on his way out.

One thing that hasn't been taken into consideration in the nursing home deaths was the lack of PPE at the time. Here in NJ like in NY, infected patients were returned to nursing homes to free up hospital beds, but a lack of PPE made it impossible to keep the infections from spreading. In at least one case, healthcare workers were told not to wear PPE or even masks because it would "scare the residents."

The lack of PPE which was widespread at the time had a big impact on the number of deaths in nursing homes.
