The policy was later rescinded.Д¬uomoвЂ™s briefings were carried regularly on the major news channels, and the governor was a frequent guest on national news shows. Six thousand died in the stateвЂ™s nursing homes from the disease, and numerous nursing home staff were also sickened. He drew criticism for a nursing home policy that at first required the homes to take back residents who had COVID-19, at a time when many nursing homes were ill equipped to contain the virus. But those traits became a strength in the crisis that required rapid, and in some cases, unprecedented actions, like ordering the economy to close. The lyrics include вЂњwe gotta stay home-a so we donвЂ™t catch corona.вЂќДuring his nine years as governor, CuomoвЂ™s been criticized by some in the political world for being too controlling and insular, often relying on a handful of staff to make all major decisions. There were other social media tributes as well, including a song written by Suzanne Windland of Queens, called KoCuomo, a take-off on the Beach Boys tune Kokomo. The monologue was parodied, in a nice way, by comedian Maria DeCotis. вЂњAdvice to fathers: the answer on what you think of the boyfriend is always, вЂњI like the boyfriend,вЂ™вЂќ Cuomo said. He recounted stories of the time spent with his three grown daughters, who lived with him in the governorвЂ™s mansion for a time during the height of the pandemic, including when MariahвЂ™s boyfriend came for Sunday dinner. The traditionally private governor also opened up personally, admitting that he feared for his 88-year-old mother MatildaвЂ™s health, and said he thought about what his dead father, former governor Mario Cuomo, would have advised him to do.

вЂњThe bad news is actually terrible.вЂќД¬uomo gave the stark facts, but he also empathized with those experiencing grief and those stuck at home, scolded people who were not following the rules like wearing masks or maintaining safe social distancing, and sometimes offered sermons, quoting from poets including Maya Angelou and past leaders like Franklin Delano Roosevelt. вЂњThe bad news isnвЂ™t just bad,вЂќ Cuomo said on April 8. It peaked in the dark days of April, as Cuomo each day displayed a slide show of carefully prepared charts showing the number of those in the hospital, the number of those on ventilators, and the number of people who died, 779 on April 7. вЂњ I hope the journey stays over.вЂќДЄfter 111 days, the governor compares the arc of the virus to a mountain. вЂњThe journey is over,вЂќ the governor said Thursday.

The briefings became a cultural phenomenon and made the governor nationally famous, as New Yorkers and many across America, staying home to try to stop the spread of the virus, tuned in to what became a daily ritual. Governor Andrew Cuomo ends over three months of continuous daily coronavirus briefings Friday.
