"He taught me to trust in love, and love's triumph over anger and hate and selfishness, and we need love now," Cuomo said of his father.

New York state has recorded nearly 500 coronavirus-related deaths in a single day, bringing the statewide total to nearly 3,000, or about the same number killed in the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, Governor Andrew Cuomo said on Friday.
