Andrew Cuomo, faces calls to resign and impeachment inquiries after an exclusive Post report found his administration covered up thousands of nursing home COVID-19 deaths.

http://youtu.be/MLoLzF52GVc Schools shouldn’t wait for every teacher to get vaccinated for COVID-19 in order to reopen, Dr. Anthony Fauci said Tuesday. Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said it’s “important” for educators to receive the vaccine but not necessary to resume classes. “It’s been clear that’s not a sine qua non. You can’t say we’re not going to open any schools unless all of the teachers get vaccinated,” Fauci told CNN anchor Jim Sciutto. #AnthonyFauci The New York Post is your source for breaking news, news about New York, sports, business, entertainment, opinion, real estate, culture, fashion, and more.

http://youtu.be/mux5Y0ZkwCo President Biden on Thursday stressed the importance of wearing masks until at least 2022 to save lives — despite declaring the US will have enough supply of vaccines by the summer to inoculate 300 million Americans. The president told reporters during a visit to the National Institutes of Health complex that he would not take his mask off even though he was standing more than 10 feet away from Dr. Anthony Fauci and NIH Director Dr. Francis Collins. #JoeBiden The New York Post is your source for breaking news, news about New York, sports, business, entertainment, opinion, real estate, culture, fashion, and more.

http://youtu.be/3d4hxhhn_Zw Republicans on Wednesday dug up past instances of Democratic House impeachment managers and President Biden using the words “fight” or “fight like hell” — one of the key allegations against former President Donald Trump at his Senate trial. The Save America PAC’s “Trump War Room” tweeted a “FLASHBACK” screenshot of lead House manager Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) invoking the notion of combat to block Republican efforts to swiftly replace the late US Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg following her death in September. #JamieRaskin #JoeBiden The New York Post is your source for breaking news, news about New York, sports, business, entertainment, opinion, real estate, culture, fashion, and more.

http://youtu.be/yBJ1hBU8L1I Security footage broadcast for the first time Wednesday at former President Donald Trump’s impeachment trial shows how close Capitol rioters got to officials on Jan. 6 — with a sole police officer holding them at bay long enough to allow then-Vice President Mike Pence to evacuate. US Capitol Police Officer Eugene Goodman is shown in the new footage warning a wandering Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) to turn around and take shelter as rioters smashed windows one floor below.

http://youtu.be/AxeofW3lG9w What bowl was Tony Romo playing in? The CBS Sports football analyst appeared to have had an unfortunate bathroom mishap ahead of his Super Bowl halftime spot Sunday — and was pictured on national television with a damp mark near his pants zipper. The 40-year-old former Dallas Cowboys quarterback — who reportedly has a $180 million contract with CBS Sports — was briefly trending on Twitter Sunday night as users wondered if the wet spot was urine or something else. “Okay, so we all saw the pee stain on Tony Romo’s pants, right?” one Twitter denizen wrote during the broadcast. “Tony romo on national tv with pee pants. Tony, take an extra shake!” another quipped. “Will @tonyromo check Twitter on the commercial break and let us know if it was indeed a pee sp...

http://youtu.be/CwHNaAF8FIU Brushing your teeth regularly and maintaining proper oral care can play a big role in the fight against COVID-19 — since patients with gum disease are nine times more likely to die from the bug, according to new research. A study of more than 500 patients also found that those with gum disease were 3.5 times more likely to be admitted to intensive care and 4.5 times more likely to need a ventilator, Medical Xpress reported. In addition, coronavirus patients with poor gum health are at least three times more likely to experience complications, according to the study published in the Journal of Clinical Periodontology. Blood markers indicating inflammation in the body were markedly higher in patients with gum disease, suggesting that inflammation may explain t...

http://youtu.be/4U6t24BY6qI A reporter mistook Buccaneers offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich for defensive coordinator Todd Bowles — both of whom are black — in a postgame press conference following Super Bowl 2021. Moments after Tampa Bay completed their 31-9 demolition of the Kansas City Chiefs, Leftwich approached the virtual podium and was asked a question by a journalist identified as “Michael Donaldson.” “Going into the game, what was your No. 1 goal on the defensive side to shut Mahomes down, to shut that high-powered offense down?” he asked. Leftwich, who works entirely on the offensive side of the ball, was confused. “Shut Mahomes down?” he asked. “I think you got the wrong guy. I got nothing to do with that. That was Todd [Bowles].” #ByronLeftwich #ToddBowles #SBLV The N...

http://youtu.be/TGZjHe5826g Steve Schmidt, one of the founders of the notoriously anti-Trump Lincoln Project, is a registered member of an ultraconservative political party, voting records show — just weeks after he claimed he was becoming a Democrat. In a post-election interview on Dec. 15, the longtime GOP strategist who former President Donald Trump once denounced as a “blathering idiot,” announced he was registering as a member of the Democratic Party after almost three decades as a Republican. “I spent 29 years as a Republican, I’ve spent two and a half as an independent, and later this afternoon I will register as a member of the Democratic Party,” Schmidt told Barack Obama’s former campaign manager David Plouffe on his podcast. But Utah state voting records accessed by The Post ...

http://youtu.be/ZLYoLcb9oM4 The accused Capitol rioter dubbed the QAnon Shaman is sporting a new look — sans horns — in this newly released mugshot. The notorious shaman, whose real name is Jacob Chansley, is virtually unrecognizable without the furry headdress, horns and face paint in the jailhouse photo released by officials in Alexandria, Va. Mugshots of federal inmates are difficult to obtain, according to Law and Crime, which published the photo. In 2016, the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals held that suspects can assert privacy interests in booking photos. The majority of judges in that case ruled that mugshots “convey guilt” and “haunt the depicted individual for decades,” the outlet reported.

http://youtu.be/Rl8Vwbf8QLQ Susan Sarandon is accusing President Biden and Democrats of pulling a “bait and switch” after initially promising $2,000 stimulus checks during the election. The Oscar-winning actress said the difference between $2,000 and the $1,400 checks that are now being floated is “a matter of survival.” “Where are the $2K checks you promised @JoeBiden @KamalaHarris @ReverendWarnock @ossoff?” Sarandon, 74, tweeted Thursday. The “Stepmom” actress also quoted statistics saying that just 39 percent of Americans can afford a $1,000 emergency and 15 million have lost health insurance through their employers. “The diff between $1,400 & $2K is a matter of survival,” she said. In another post, she told her nearly 685,000 followers, “If voters feel like Dems are pulling a...
