Gov. Cuomo: ‘Ask President Trump’ about nursing home deaths
New York Post ^ | May 20,2020 | By Aaron Feis

First Gov. Andrew Cuomo blamed nursing homes for a widely criticized directive from his Health Department barring the facilities from turning away coronavirus-positive people — now he’s pawning it off on the White House.

Critics should “ask President Trump” about it, the governor said Wednesday, arguing that the federal government actually cooked up the mandate — and that New York was just following Washington’s lead.

“Anyone who wants to ask, ‘Why did the state do that with COVID patients in nursing homes,’ it’s because the state followed President Trump’s CDC [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention] guidance,” Cuomo told reporters in Albany who pressed him on whether he had any regrets about the directive, which may have played a role in the deaths of thousands of nursing home residents.

“They should ask President Trump. I think that will stop the conversation,” he repeated.

I bet it won't. I bet that Trump will remark about the nursing home deaths directly related to Cumo this very day. Or maybe Tweet about them.

If it was CDC policy then why did only a handful of states implement this insane policy?

So no local medical professionals were able to think and act on their own? The president commanded local medical staff to insert the virus-infected into nursing homes?

Interesting. Impeachable.

We all knew by March it was fatal for some, especially the elderly.

What do you want to bet there is an actual CDC directive waiting to be brought up and blamed on Trump's administration? Interesting that only blue state governors knew about it...

Hah! Sure, you want the conversation to end. Too bad. Keep squirming, you earned it.

I’m sure glad Andrew didn’t murder my mom, because I would have to respond to that.

He orders that COVID patients be placed in nursing homes and it’s somehow Trumps fault? Why is it that 48 other states did not make that mistake? If Trump was forcing him to do it then how did he reverse his decision? Take responsibility Cuomo.

And build New York City three field hospitals plus the Samaritans purse field hospital and only the Javits Center and Samaritans purse ever saw any patients. From my understanding the other two were never usEd in the Javits Center only saw a small handful of patients, nowhere near its capacity it has been dismantled.

If it was trumps fault, why were you so happy and giddy to tell nursing homes it’s an order do it and not to question it when some did?

Cuomo is a Democrat, therefore we should all remember the story about the Scorpion. Democrats lie with extraordinary ease.

So I read the CDC Guidelines at least as of 4/30/2020. In a section they say:

Consider temporarily halting admissions to the facility, at least until the extent of transmission can be clarified and interventions can be implemented.

From what I understand, NY FORCED the nursing homes to admit patients which contradicts the CDC guideline instructing them to consider halting admissions.

So, with my limited reading comprehension, I understand this to mean that Cuomo did NOT adhere to CDC guidelines and should NOT be blaming them for the deaths.

Cuomo’s lie will be exposed. I hope Trump takes Cuomo on directly.
