cuomo is trying to cover up the deaths of the seniors he killed........... the democrat party members who control the main stream press are working over time to protect cuomo.......

On March 25, 2020, the Democratic governor enacted a statewide directive that forced nursing homes to take recovering COVID-19 patients, regardless of whether they remained contagious. “No resident shall be denied readmission or admission to the NH [nursing home] solely based on a confirmed or suspected diagnosis of COVID-19. NHs are prohibited from requiring a hospitalized resident who is determined medically stable to be tested for COVID-19 prior to admission or readmission,” read Cuomo’s order.


Before the order was rescinded on May 10, thousands of infected patients were sent into nursing homes.

Scientists disagreed. “Would this get published in an academic journal? No,” University of Texas, Houston, epidemiologist Catherine Troisi told The Associated Press.

Denis Nash, an epidemiologist at the City University of New York School of Public Health, said there were problems with the report. He told the AP that the number of nursing home deaths in records kept by the state doesn’t include residents who were transferred to and later died at a hospital. Nash said that is a “potentially huge problem” that undercounts the virus’ toll and could “introduce bias into the analysis.”

Still pimping up this talking point? Well, since nothing else seems to be sticking, why not? He was following guidelines laid down by federal and state agencies. Admittedly, a mistake in hindsight (and I think he's said as much). And at least Cuomo shows that he learns from his mistakes....unlike some Republican governors and You-Know-Who, that keep making the same mistakes..over and over.

State report absolves Cuomo on nursing home deaths as critics pounce

Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s coronavirus press briefings have, at times, captivated a national audience with his firm leadership and calming response to a virus that has killed more than 32,000 New Yorkers.…

Note - I'm being fair here by linking an article that has critical opinions of Cuomo.

Actually, he didn't follow the guidelines. The guideline said, " Nursing homes should admit any individuals that they would normally admit to their facility, including individuals from hospitals where a case of COVID-19 was/is present. Also, if possible, dedicate a unit/wing exclusively for any residents coming or returning from the hospital. This can serve as a step-down unit where they remain for 14 days with no symptoms (instead of integrating as usual on short-term rehab floor, or returning to long-stay original room)"

Notice it doesn't say individuals who were infected with COVID-19 and there was supposed to be a 14 day quarantine before they were included with the regular nursing home population.

Your defense of the indefensible fails.

where a case of COVID-19 was/is present.

What do you think this says??? and it was to be a 14 day step down unit in a NH, If possible

Also, if possible, dedicate a unit/wing exclusively for any residents coming or returning from the hospital. This can serve as a step-down unit where they remain for 14 days

It says that if the person is transferring from a place there COVID was/is present, NOT that the person was infected and still sent to the nursing home. Why is that difficult for you to understand?

Your defense of the indefensible STILL fails. Time to stop wasting time reading your ignorant rants.
