Cuomo : Make the nursing homes take the COVID patients back from the hospitals.
Flunky : Why sir ?
Cuomo : Because we need to make the nursing homes come up to speed and get with the program ! I am going on TV today to boast about my tough policy !

Flunky : Sir, the nursing homes have become killing zones - none of the nursing homes had the capability to handle your tough policy - you are getting toasted on this in the media !
Cuomo : Reverse the policy ! But let's do a press release declaring the original policy such a huge success that we no longer need it !
