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 hes 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 Washingtons lead.
Anyone who wants to ask, Why did the state do that with COVID patients in nursing homes, its because the state followed President Trumps 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.

Maybe Freepers can do some research on CDC directives, using the wayback machine:
I would but I hate to bother someone who is doing his job.
All I’ma say on that is I am real darn happy my mom wasn’t murdered by this prick.
Do you think Cuomo made sure that there are not any leftover Esso stations in NYS?
Trump provide an abundance of makeshift hospital beds in New York for those that came down with coronavirus. The best solution was to send them to mingle with the most vulnerable.
They could have used this response weeks ago. It is there best attempt to shift blame. Pretty weak, if you ask me.
Trump didnt create and enforce the new york policy of requiring assisted living facilities to have to take in sick covid patients.
If there are, I have to say that i can’t blame them.
