The New York Times has published an op-ed about the coronavirus in nursing homes in states around the U.S. over the course of 2020. It’s been noticed that the article is as notable for what isn’t mentioned as much as what is discussed:

Gov. Andrew Cuomo seems to be in the protected class of politician, while Republicans like Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis receive heavy media scrutiny.

Heck, Cuomo got awards for his mishandling of the outbreak! Speaking of that:
