When New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo was first accused of undercounting nursing home deaths from Covid-19, his administration offered a simple explanation:
The state did not include nursing home residents who died in the hospital in the publicly posted tally of coronavirus deaths linked to long-term care facilities, officials said, because it wanted to avoid a “double count” of those deaths in the statewide total.
But New York stands apart from other states in taking this approach to counting nursing home deaths, research experts said - a decision that made New York’s tally of nursing home deaths appear lower than it was, and that is now under federal investigation.
“It’s tricky to compare state-level data, but New York is the only state that explicitly stated that they were excluding hospital-based deaths,” said Priya Chidambaram, a senior policy analyst at the Kaiser Family Foundation, a nonprofit research organization.
By contrast, officials in other states, including Minnesota, Connecticut, Massachusetts and Vermont, said in recent interviews that they found ways to total all nursing home deaths, including residents who died at hospitals, without counting them twice, by cross-referencing the reports from nursing homes with other data sources. Research experts, including Chidambaram, said they were not aware of any other state that counted nursing home deaths as New York did.
That has left both policymakers and researchers wondering why New York didn’t find a similar workaround to avoid leaving out thousands of nursing home deaths from its reported total.

Tricky covid.
Nice try Cuomo! The POS needs to go to prison and then go straight to Hell.
Sometimes, the cover-up is worse than the crime.
But not always.
Yeah, he is in line for prison right after Hillary, Obama, Strzok, Comey, etc.
Anyone who believes Cuomo will be held accountable, is a moron.
Why did Governor Cuomo give nursing homes immunity from Covid deaths? Ron Kim
The legislature didn't know about the immunity provision.
SNORT.
He’ll be held accountable if Deep State wants it.
The question is why would Deep State want it.
Cuomo had help.
Our legislature gave him carte blanche.
And Cuomo didn’t just send sick patients back.
Cuomo allowed positive staff to continue to report to work until Cuomo abruptly rescinded the policy in mid-May.
That last is really mind-boggling.
And nobody talks about it.
Hmmmm, wonder why...
And my gut tells me that Fauci himself told him how to rig the numbers. Remember, Fauci said he talked to Chris every day for months...so there was a back door to Andy.
These aren't unnamed people. Worried about duplicates? Liars
Fauci did not just talk to Cuomo, but the five Democrat governors coordinated together.....PA, MI, NJ, CT, NY
They all murdered nursing home patients in the same way.
That is why Cuomo will never be held accountable because they would open up the doors to holding the other loyal party members accountable.
Cuomo lied, people died.
Simple as that.
And the moronic egotistical idiot continues to peddle the lies.
Orange jump suit when?
My question-
WHY?
WHY did Cuomo send sick patients back into nursing homes?
Was it incompetence or malicious intent?
It WAS one or the other.
Was it intentional, hoping to reduce the Medicare/Medicaid rolls for the state of NY, which is gazillions in debt?
