The returning from the hospital covid residence were put in separate covid isolation wards from the nursing home wards of residents without covid, was the directive to nursing homes in New York.
Yet even with the added nursing home resident deaths added from those who died in the hospital,
NY nursing home covid deaths is a much lower percentage of covid deaths in their state, 33%, than the average nursing home deaths in all the other states, which is running around 40%?
How could what NY did, have fewer as a percentage... lower death rate than other states who allegedly didn't do, what NY State did in nursing homes??
For starters, stop using the fake data supplied by mass murderer Cuomo.
What's fake? I just looked up the data....
And NY State has had 33% of the covid deaths, from nursing home residents...
And on average States are running at 40% of their total covid deaths from nursing home residents.
So why has it been a higher percentage of nursing home deaths, of total covid deaths, in other states??? It makes absolutely no sense? Unless the other States were also sending recovering covid hospital patients as well??? Or, returning hospitalized covid patients to nursing homes did not further spread the disease because the patients were on the waning side of the virus and less infectious??? That still does not explain why a higher percentage of nursing h residents died in states other than NY State?

I am open to the idea that the orders were not as harmful as has been stated but you are using data points that are not relevant. The ratio of people outside of nursing homes to in nursing homes says, quite literally, nothing whatsoever about the impact of the states handling of covid patients in nursing homes.
What would matter is the ratio of total nursing home residents to total that died in nursing homes. The real question is what the actual numbers are as well. Has NY amended the information they put out considering that they have already admitted that they were putting out incorrect information?
I am unaware if they have amended the information or not and that makes any comparison suspect from the get go unless the information has been corrected.
I saw that information earlier on the percent of nursing covid deaths to total nursing home patients earlier..... let me see if I can find it..... might have been an AARP article..... it was a listing by state, and if memory serves, NY State was in the middle of the pack...
I agree with you, nursing homes in most all states, have done a really crappy job on protecting their residents early on and perhaps it is still really bad....
Getting info on nursing homes on covid deaths from various states is like pulling teeth.... I've been looking in to it for the past year....It's near impossible to get information to compare....
I do know we have improved a little.... because the covid nursing resident deaths as a percentage to total covid deaths back in September was 41%, and the latest article I just read is saying it is now 39%.
Jiminey Cricket! 40% of deaths from nursing homes.....!!!! That just ain't right! It's neglect! Imho!!!! First off, the nursing aides working there likely initially brought it in to the nursing homes, or maybe family members visiting relatives in nursing homes? And I had read early on, that the these nursing aides many times work in multiple facilities of the nursing home owner... (usually some corporation.) So those aides, not wearing n95 mask protection properly, or not at all, were spreading it from nursing home to nursing home, unaware that they were even sick because they were asymptomatic, perhaps?
Anyway, if I come across that data on nursing home patient deaths from covid vs total nursing home occupants, I will link it back to your response post here.
