If the nursing homes followed the protocol, and had isolated from the regular nursing home patient COVID ward or wing, with nurses and aids only working the vivid ward, and not crossing over in to the nursing home, With a separate entrance for workers to go in and out....Nursing homes were required to take back in, their own residents, that they sent to the hospital, with COVID, when the Hospital determined they were well enough, to recover at home....
The requirement to take back Their own resident, had stipulations....
The nursing home had to isolate their returning COVID residence in a separate ward in the nursing home, With a separate entrance and separate staff, from the other nursing home residents, so not to mix them, or risk contamination/spread.
IF the nursing home of the resident could not accommodate the separate isolation ward, they were to contact the Dept of Health, and the Dept of Health would find a place that could....
The nursing homes had the COVID spread in house, before they sent their residents to the hospitals to be treated, BEFORE the residents were released by the hospital, to be sent home.
Nursing homes in Georgia, Florida, Texas have much higher percentages of deaths from nursing home deaths than New York has had....
How did those State Governors cause that...? Or did they cause it, as you claim Cuomo did.....?
If what you say is true, why did Cuomo walk it back last week and admit it was a mistake?
because of the rightwing smear campaign, perhaps?
Or because hospitals are no longer over crowded, and they can hold most covid cases longer?
Or perhaps nursing homes with more and more covid patients could no longer accommodate the separate ward for covid patients?
Or perhaps it did not work as well as they planned? I truly do not know....
Regardless, it is a live and learn moment....
NEAR All the nursing homes in America, are infected with the spread of covid....
Not all were faced with what Cuomo was faced with at their hospitals nor had the same plan as his.... yet their nursing homes still are the hotspots in all states....
The nurses and nursing home aids, BROUGHT IT to all the nursing home residents.... in many areas, these same people work in multiple nursing homes a few days a week, then caring for residents without the proper protection gear and replacing masks and so forth for each resident visit by them... sanitary best practices during an epidemic stuff, not testing workers and residents at nursing homes from the get go, isolating the sick, and a number of other reasons contributed
to the crisis....
it's possible that what cuomo's dept of health did hurt the situation as well.... but I'm not certain that has truly been established as of yet..... especially when states like texas, georgia, florida all have a higher percentage of their covid nursing home residents dying, than NY has....
Hospitals were never overcrowded. Navy ship had dozen of non-covid patients, field hospitals had two dozens. There was no need to stuff the nursing homes, but hey, there is only one way to pump those covid numbers in order to demand bailout from federal government. Lets kill some elderly and hope no one will notice.

Don't you think those protocol requirements would be enough to prevent the spread from the returning resident's stay at the hospital, to the other residents?
And the new covid cases in the regular part of the nursing home got their new cases from the workers and spread among themselves?
I do not know the answer, but I'd like to find out... So we can find good solutions for future episodes and other upcoming states getting the virus spread....
A navy ship, or Javitz center may not be available in the future or to others..... I do not know the facts on why they were not used.... seems like they could have used either one.... but I just have no facts on it.
It's not surprising that you defend leftists, because that what you are. What is surprising is that even you know he screwed up, because he said it himself, he screwed up, you still keep trying to spread propaganda and defend his actions as they're correct ones. Now, that is called shilling, and there is no purpose to have conversation with anyone with that mindset.
So let's put it to test, shall we? Did Governor Cuomo fucked up with nursing homes or not?
