ALBANY — One can argue whether the Albany Democratic machine was good or evil or how much of it remains today, but this much is indisputable: It has etched itself into American political history as one for the ages.
It has been 100 years since the O’Connell-Corning Democratic machine seized control of City Hall in 1921 by defeating the entrenched Barnes Republican machine. The Democrats have not relinquished power since.
Albany ranks first as the longest run of uninterrupted Democratic rule, longer than Boston (since 1930), Chicago (1931), St. Louis (1949), Philadelphia (1951), Buffalo (1962) or any other deep-blue city in the nation.

558.
That's the minimum count of how many people, as of this writing, have succumbed to COVID-19 in the greater Capital Region.
In less than 10 months.
That is a wartime number — a casualty list perhaps more in keeping with the recounting of Civil War regimental losses than of anything understood in the modern era.
Scientists who study the way the human brain processes big numbers say we’re not very good at it. The larger the number, the less we're likely to feel a strong emotional response to it.
