At this point, do a little introspection. Did you hear about this last year? From who? Did you find it credible? Why or why not? Is there any way you can grow in your consumption of information based on your findings?

#32the first reports on this already appeared in august 2020, but somehow all mainstream outlets weren't too interested. They still weren't interested in October when the DOJ sent an inquiry about nursing homes or in January when the NY AG issued a report finding New York under counted deaths of nursing home and long-term care facility residents.
Meanwhile, CNN put him on the air, to be heralded as a great and inspiring leader by his own brother, a CNN mouth piece, that got state funded special treatment when he had covid. Now CNN simply refuses to report on it.
The media landscape is beyond broken in this country.

The people I named are Democrats, I don't see this as a partisan thing. It's a humanity thing. I'm simply answering your questions of who blew the whistle and how we found out about it.
Introspection. I'm asking each individual to evaluate their own information intake valve. There are objective sources, the question is how and when we accept or dismiss them.
Right back atcha -- because while there are plenty of covid screwups to go around, someone who thinks this one got suppressed probably has an information diet that disproportionately focused attention on this screw up in order to shift attention away from their own screw up, which was orders of magnitude larger.

The nursing home scandal was known long before. The sex scandal seemed to be used to cover that up. His top aide, Melissa DeRosa, has admitted to covering up the nursing home deaths. People have come out saying he was intimidating them. He is under Federal investigation. What part of it is a conspiracy theory? https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/cuomo-top-aide-reportedly-... https://www.cbsnews.com/news/cuomo-nursing-h…
While I despise Cuomo, I'm a little leary about condemning politicians about their actions back in the early days of the pandemic. Taking action is sometimes necessary even with incomplete or bad information, and it will sometimes turn out to have been the wrong decision. That's inevitable. It would often be worse to have an executive that is paralyzed in fear of making a decision that turns out to be wrong. Now, the…
Not just sleaze and corruption. This administration was hiding data about a pandemic when we desperately needed more information about how to fight the pandemic. That is despicable and indefensible.
I can forgive bad decisions in a time of crisis. But what they did was way beyond that.

I don't know what data backs this site but you can start here and do some comparisons

Deaths per capita: https://www.statista.com/statistics/1109011/coronavirus-covi...
Cases per capita: https://www.statista.com/statistics/1109004/coronavirus-covi...
Attribution to lockdown or not is insufficient to determine these numbers. Mask adherence, population size, and climate are also important.
Top 10 deaths per capita are dominated by New England and Southern states

yes, unreal.
Also all this took place when he received a multi million dollar advance for his book "American Crisis: Leadership Lessons from the COVID-19 Pandemic", and remember this crazy thing https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/14/arts/design/cuomo-covid-p... how is any of this real?!?!

We heard about it from the New York AG. The coverup was confirmed by his top aide, Melissa DeRosa.
I'm quite intentionally trying to frame my post in a neutral way to avoid partisan assumptions/squabbles.

Your questions above propose the idea of bias in the information delivery and reception, which inherently maps to political partisanship. What other sort of bias could your questions possibly evoke?
Cuomo was exposed and has been condemned largely by officials within his own party, and also broadly by the media, whether left, right, or center.
