New York health officials were warned in writing that a Brooklyn nursing home where 55 patients have died of coronavirus was overwhelmed — weeks before it began topping the state’s official list of resident COVID-19 deaths, damning emails show.
Cobble Hill Health Center CEO Donny Tuchman sent a desperate email to state Health Department officials on April 9, asking if there was “a way for us to send our suspected covid patients” to the hospital built inside the Javits Convention Center or the US Naval hospital ship Comfort — the under-utilized federal medical facilities on Manhattan’s West Side.
“We don’t have the ability to cohort right now based on staffing and we really want to protect our other patients,” Tuchman wrote in a chain of the emails reviewed by The Post.
He was denied.

At the time Tuchman sent his plea, only 134 of the 1,000 beds at the Javits Center were full and the Comfort — which had just been reconfigured to treat up to 500 COVID-19 patients — had a mere 62 on board.
Adding insult to injury, the Navy hospital ship wound up treating just 179 patients before Gov. Cuomo on Tuesday said it was no longer needed.

“accidentally” my a$$. It was deliberate by someone up to and including Fredo’s brother.
When do we hold these fu##ers responsible for deaths?
He won’t go. The people in NYC love him. He cannot do any wrong.
Example my sister bum rushed me off the phone because cuomo was having a briefing and she needed to hear what he had to say, she told me I dont listen to anyone but him, he’s gonna save us!
apparently that is a huge problem across the nation

DRUDGE..!! I haven't been to Drudge's website in over two years.. It's about the same as going to the Huffington site.... :(
Maybe the goal was to clean out the Medicare/Medicaid rolls.
Two years? I quit going when it became a pop-up nightmare
Like any diehard communist, he wants to kill all the unproductive eaters!
sounds about right.
That is what initially happened, but the state had to request that the ship be converted to take virus patients— they didn’t just throw in the towel because the doctors had to be swapped out and the ship had to be prepared.
I’m not, although it would only take one. But it would also require a working ‘justice’ system rather than a ‘just us’ system.
And don’t forget that Rush was amazed at Obama saying that Americans didn’t deserve any care, except a pain pill, no matter how much they loved life!!
I hope someone can start pointing out that any time New York is mentioned, we need to include, #BodyBagCuomo!!
Great idea, Jane Long!!
Prince Andrew has screwed those whole state up for 10 years, this is his masterpiece of f-upism. Complete total disaster. Upstate is hemorrhaging and the UI system is blown apart. Historians will be writing about this for years.
BTTT
Like father like son. Faccime.
At first. Then they change their mind. This was open knowledge. Both Amir and the governor are incompetent boobs. They essentially killed all those people.
He doesn't own it anymore.
