Cuomo, a Democrat, is facing significant backlash from New York residents and lawmakers alike for his alleged mishandling of COVID-19 fatality data for long-term-care facility residents during the pandemic’s first months. Last year, Cuomo was initially criticized for his directive ordering nursing homes to admit COVID-19 patients. Then a report released by New York Attorney General Letitia James in January accused him of intentionally underrepresenting the number of deaths that subsequently occurred....

The measure, which Republicans blocked for debate in June, would reshape the electoral process, regulate big money in politics, limit partisan considerations in the drawing of congressional districts and expand options for voting. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer announced his plan for floor action in September for the bill on Wednesday. While Democrats acknowledged that the effort will likely be stymied by Republicans, the action serves to demonstrate Republicans’ unwillingness to compromise....

It wasn’t CIDP that nearly killed me. It was the initial treatment. It was aggressive. Day after day, I would visit a hospital, where medical officials would pump something called IVIG into my veins in a room where cancer patients were also being treated. The result: A 104-degree fever that wouldn’t break, multiple blood clots and a suspicion that my heart would be forever damaged even if I survived. Fortunately, we found a different aggressive treatment—steroids through an IV—that worked....

What’s unique about this latest Demon’s Souls listing however is that it’s actually for the PlayStation 3. The rating doesn’t mention anything about a remastered version and the description is actually exactly the same as the original rating outside of one item. The online disclaimer that once said, “online interactions not rated by the ESRB” has been completely scrubbed from this entry. While a sign like that would likely raise a few eyebrows in this modern age of gaming, the reason for this change is likely related to the game’s servers being turned off and not an upcoming remaster announcement....

Becoming a successful Demon Slayer seems to be an act of bravery in itself, but it’s more than that. Being brave is not as easy as one may think, especially when being constantly confronted with demons and life-threatening situations. Bravery isn’t reserved for slayers either. It takes a special kind of demon to want to measure up against the Slayers Corps. Updated May 5, 2022, by Jessica Faith: With the second season over and available to watch on Crunchyroll, there are many new Demon Slayer characters introduced to fans of the series....

The World Health Organization says dengue, also called dengue fever, is a virus that presents with severe flu-like symptoms, the main one being a high fever. If left unchecked, the disease can turn into severe dengue, which can lead to plasma leakage, severe bleeding or organ impairment among other symptoms. The Aedes aegypti mosquito is the prime carrier of dengue, which spreads to humans via bites from infected females. The mosquitoes are prevalent around standing water, and the prolonged monsoon season hasn’t helped matters....

At the end of Sunday’s Daytona 500, Darrell “Bubba” Wallace Jr. and Denny Hamlin made contact as the two came to the finish line. Hamlin claims the contact, initiated by Wallace, blew his right-front tire resulting in his car pinching Wallace’s car against the outside wall after the finish. Wallace and his team were upset with the contact after their runner-up finish. “What’s his problem?,” Wallace yelled on the team’s radio....

“Opening a complaint for investigation in no way implies that (the department’s Office of Civil Rights) has made a determination on the merits of the case,” department spokesperson Dorie Nolt said in a statement. “Rather, the office is a neutral fact-finder. It will collect and analyze all relevant evidence to develop its findings. As a policy, the Department will not disclose any case-specific facts or details about the institutions under investigation....

Deracine is very bizarre. The game is primarily set in a boarding school, where a small group of orphans live with an aging headmaster. Players take on the role of a “faerie,” who is able to explore the boarding school while everything else is frozen in time, interacting with certain objects and manipulating events. Deracine plays like an updated take on the old-school point-and-click adventure games, with players moving from one area to the next, “clicking” on objects in the environment using the PlayStation Move motion controllers, and trying to solve puzzles....

Aren’t you excited about our season’s prospects with just fifty days to go? I know I am and I am very positive about how well we can do in the coming summer. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t expect our Pop-ular coach to win everything in sight, but I have, perhaps like Charles Dickens, got great expectations for the next few seasons. Besides heightening the intensity of training, having greater resource to coach with and, let’s not forget, a good-sized squad, I think that with the current structure of coaching our net has been widened for young players of talent....

It appears the Colorado Avalanche have the lead in chasing Ryan, who at 28 is a free agent. Also said to be in the hunt: the St. Louis Blues and Toronto Maple Leafs. The Avs are negotiating with Ryan, according to The Denver Post. It appears a two-way deal is in the works. At 5-10, Ryan is big than Johnson, a generous 5-9. Neither was he wanted during his years of eligibility for the NHL Draft....

The fourth-year running back is dealing with a lower leg injury and there is no timetable for his return, Titans coach Mike Vrabel told reporters Sunday. Henry has yet to practice with the team during training camp and TitanInsider.com reported he was in a walking boot. Still, the Titans are optimistic Henry’s setback isn’t severe, and NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported Sunday that he hears the issue is “minor” and should not be something that keeps him out for long....

The 25-year-old running back practiced Sunday for the first time since he injured his calf during the opening day of training camp.

DeSantis has been promoting the treatment for COVID-19 in a series of tweets since August 5, highlighting the opening of treatment centers throughout the state and touting its efficacy. However, the governor’s Twitter account has tweeted about vaccines just once since August 1—in the form of a quote from Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, professor of medicine at Stanford University. On August 1, DeSantis quoted Bhattacharya as saying: “We have protected the vulnerable by vaccinating the older population” and shared an image of the professor also featuring that quote....
