Coronavirus patients admitted to Queens nursing home — with body bags

23 Apr 2020 ~~ By Gabrielle Fonrouge, Bernadette Hogan and Bruce Golding
The first coronavirus patients admitted to a Queens nursing home under a controversial state mandate arrived along with some grim accessories — a supply of body bags, The Post has learned.
An executive at the facility — which was previously free of the deadly disease — said the bags were in the shipment of personal protective equipment received the same day the home was forced to begin treating two people discharged from hospitals with COVID-19.
“My colleague noticed that one of the boxes was extremely heavy. Curious as to what could possibly be making that particular box so much heavier than the rest, he opened it,” the exec told The Post Thursday.
“The first two coronavirus patients were accompanied by five body bags.”
Within days, three of the bags were filled with the first of 30 residents who would die there after Gov. Cuomo’s Health Department handed down its March 25 directive that bars nursing homes from refusing to admit “medically stable” coronavirus patients, the exec said.
Like clockwork, the nursing home has received five body bags a week — every week — from city officials.
“Cuomo has blood on his hands. He really does. There’s no way to sugarcoat this,” the health care executive added.

“It’s their primary responsibility like it’s a hospital’s primary responsibility. And hospitals ran into problems, nursing homes ran into problems.”
“This is a national story, right? Turn on the national news any given time, and you have people saying, ‘We can’t get enough PPE,’ right?” he added.
A member of Cuomo’s coronavirus task force — SUNY-Empire State College president Jim Malatras — said the state had distributed 417,000 surgical grade masks, 101,000 gowns, 85,000 face shields, 422,000 gloves and 5,000 gallons of hand sanitizer to nursing homes over the last two weeks.
Comment:
Why in the world would Cuomo order and force a Nursing Home to accept active, full blown Covid-19 patients thus exposing the elderly to the virus. This was purposely done and it caused those in the Home to ultimately die.
Emperor Cuomo, earlier today, said that it’s the nursing homes responsibility to keep their facilities safe....yet, he’s the one sending infected patients to them.. It's like the British giving Indians Small-Pox contaminated blankets.
What really struck me, was how Fredo's brother didn’t say, when asked about the big nursing home problem, in NY, something like,
we’re working on a solution, together...with ....health experts/agencies....to find a solution.
Instead, and, not surprisingly, he threw the nursing homes under the bus.
It's no wonder that the numbers of dead are so high in NYC alone.... and why he's not running for President and he is not talking about his meeting with the President.
Seems Andy's political animus toward Trump overshadowed Cuomo's logic that caused the deaths of those elderly in the Nursing home.
Both New Jersey and New York (Blue States) require nursing homes to admit patients who have tested positive for COVID-19.
INHO, this policy constitutes mass murder.
