Cuomo’s Book Publisher Cancels Second Printing And Promotion

Crown Publishing, the publisher of Democrat New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s book on leadership during the pandemic, has announced that they will no longer be promoting the book and will not issue a second printing after it was revealed that the Cuomo administration hid the number of nursing home deaths from COVID-19.

Sales of the book had already plummeted as more information was released about the governor’s efforts to cover up the true number of nursing home deaths, which were a result of an order from Cuomo in March that barred nursing homes from denying entry to those with a “confirmed or suspected diagnosis in COVID-19.”

Cuomo’s policies resulted in nursing home residents accounting for 1/3 of the state’s total death toll from COVID-19, which became rapidly apparent after the policy was put in place in late March.

After a report from New York health officials revealed that more than 9,000 nursing home residents had died by June, Cuomo’s top aides rewrote the report to take it out, according to the New York Times.

The New York Times reported, “Top aides to Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo were alarmed: A report written by state health officials had just landed, and it included a count of how many nursing home residents in New York had died in the pandemic.”

“The number — more than 9,000 by that point in June — was not public, and the governor’s most senior aides wanted to keep it that way,” they continued. “They rewrote the report to take it out, according to interviews and documents reviewed by The New York Times.”
