A nursing home admin from Staten Island says that he and other facilities’ executives were “petrified” after New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s controversial order that likely accelerated CCP virus outbreaks at their facilities.
The administrator of the Silver Lake Specialized Rehabilitation and Care Center, Michael Kraus, told Fox News that he attempted to alert local officials about the infamous March 25 directive after he was cognizant about it, but that his worries were “shot down” by the authorities.
“Many facilities vocalized it,” Kraus told Fox. “They were petrified, but they were more petrified of the Department of Health … once [my concern] was shot down, I never spoke [about it] again.”
A disclosure of data last month revealed that nearly 15,000 nursing home residents in New York died of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, which causes the disease COVID-19, after people recovering from the infection were released into nursing homes at the beginning of the pandemic. The number is much higher than the 8,500 figure previously made known.
“Prior to the release of the full nursing home data, the Cuomo Administration released misleading statistics regarding the number of deaths in nursing homes. We must come together as New Yorkers and demand that OPWDD be transparent about their conduct during the COVID-19 pandemic,” wrote New York state Sen. Anthony Palumbo in a letter that was co-signed by members of the Mental Health and Disabilities Committees.
One of Cuomo’s top aides reportedly apologized to Democratic legislators for holding back data on the CCP virus deaths in the state’s nursing homes in order to dodge federal prosecution.
The acknowledgment of the reported cover-up was made by Melissa DeRosa, the governor’s secretary, on Feb. 11, during a video conference with Democratic leaders, according to a recording obtained by The New York Post.
And while Cuomo was issuing these directives and denying any problem, many networks including Fox were giving him a half-hour or more of air time several days a week. All the troubling questions were ignored as he was likely being built up as a potential Dim presidential candidate when most all those in the Dim primary were coming across as a collection of buffoons.
Go figure those administrators aren’t very smart. Thanks for the perp pics, lightman. May the pictures are worth more than words to them.
that too, Will88
Five of the loudest, most arrogant governors who went to some of the greatest extremes to lock down their states are the five who required nursing homes to take in COVID-19 infected patients. Pretty amazing.
Unfortunately, for America, that is all the Democrat Party has to offer. Not a person worthy of being a dog catcher, but with the press behind them, the sheeple are easily fooled into believing they are perfect leaders.
Then why did the administrators, when Fedzilla allowed them to refuse, take back the patients?
Every single administrator who took them back should be asked that question.
Under oath.
Like other statistics on various deaths such as Chicago murders and so on,
it is easy to skip past it all and just state a number.
But I try to imagine what it must have been like to be elderly, trapped in a nursing home, and know that really sick Covid patients with that contagious incurable disease are being sent into your home and will be next to you. So many died and were helpless to stop what was happening to them.
We must bring those Dems to justice.
Ping to post #1.
It sums it all up in one graphic.
The feds (if you can trust them) are now looking into the money trail involved when the elderly were dump into the nursing homes in NY.
I’d love to know how much $$$ the CCP/DNC funnelled to each of these murderers.
All to take down PDJT and attempt to usher in their Great Reset.
And based on thos numbers, which were people murdered, everyone is panicking about COVID and pushing some new, not fully tested biological agent that is not going to give them immunity against a disease.
Human lives are collateral damage in some people’s lust for power.
There are an awful lot of people with blood on their hands who willhave to answer to God for it some day.
Agree.
They made VERY bad ‘deals’.
Sorry, no.
March 25th and it is just now, a year later, that they are going public? Sounds to me like they were covering up for political purposes. Petrified or not, they had a responsibility and duty to protect these folks, who must have been truly petrified.......and then they died.
petrified=dead wood
Fossilized...unfit even for firewood.
