Beginning to make good on her vow that “transparency will be the hallmark of my administration,” Gov. Kathy Hochul on Tuesday acknowledged another 12,000 COVID-19 deaths in New York that her predecessor, the disgraced Andrew Cuomo, deliberately had not. The total’s now near 55,000 — which means the state has seen the highest per-capita COVID toll in the nation, which is what Cuomo didn’t want to admit. “The public deserves a clear, honest picture of what’s happening,” Hochul said. “And that’s how we restore confidence.” So she made official the data that state authorities had been sending to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention all along.
