Andrew Cuomo is facing intense backlash for selling a poster touting New York's response to the coronavirus outbreak. On Monday, Cuomo debuted a poster he designed called "New York Tough" that he suggests captures the journey his state went through while addressing the pandemic. The poster depicts a mountain with essential workers pulling a rope symbolizing the "flattening of the curve." "Your inaction and infighting with the Mayor caused thousands of deaths," activist and former Sanders surrogate Shaun King told Cuomo. Cuomo signed an executive order on May 11 reversing the policy, stopping hospitals from sending infected patients back to nursing homes and ramping up testing for staff.
