| 0:00.0 | Okay, so Jimmy, it hasn't even been a month and I feel like this story's changed. |
| 0:09.4 | Yeah, it seems like the situation here is changing, not just day by day, but hour by hour. |
| 0:19.4 | The last time I spoke with the Wall Street Journal's Jimmy Vial kind, we were talking about a |
| 0:23.4 | nursing homes candle that was threatening to upend New York Governor Andrew Cuomo's third |
| 0:29.1 | terminal office. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is denying that the number of coronavirus deaths |
| 0:36.4 | connected to nursing homes has been vastly under-recorded. The governor denies that he or his staff did |
