Keep in mind Sweden's most populous city (Stockholm) has a population of 1 million. NYC has a population of 8.4 million. Not to mention Sweden is culturally homogenous while NY is extremely diverse.
Please justify your comparison.

Cuomo's response "doing it correctly" (despite 32K deaths many of which it seems might have been directly related to a policy of discharging COVID patients into nursing homes [0]).
