Though his state led the world in coronavirus fatalities occurring in nursing homes and despite bipartisan support for a probe in the State Legislature, Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-NY) says "there is no need for an investigation." It was the Governor's controversial March 25th order that required nursing homes to accept COVID-positive patients and exposed the uninfected elderly already housed in these homes to high risk.
"Look, what's done can't be undone," Cuomo argued. "We can't bring these people back to life. We should let them rest in peace. I think it's time that we all forgive and forget any mistakes that may have been made in our struggle to cope with an unprecedented pandemic."
State Senator Gustavo Rivera (D-Bronx) disagrees with the Governor. "If we want good state policies and procedures we ought to investigate what the Governor admits were 'mistakes' so as to avoid repeating them in the future. This seems like just common sense to me."
The Governor wasn't persuaded by Rivera's argument, calling it "politically motivated. Let's face it. There is no unbiased party who can be trusted to fairly weigh all the evidence. I've made a mental note of the mistakes that occurred. I'm well-situated for avoiding a repeat of them in the future. I can see no good coming out of additional unnecessary inquiries. Besides, I have already signed documents pardoning all the involved parties from any crimes that may have been committed or liability that may have attached for any actions taken during the crisis. So, the issue is now moot."
While the "official" count of nursing home victims in the state is around 6,400, the death toll could be much higher. The reason for this is that only deaths occurring inside the nursing homes were added to the official tally. Nursing home patients who were on the verge of death were usually transferred to a hospital where they died shortly thereafter. Those deaths were then attributed to the hospital, not the nursing homes. Based on the 13,000 "deficit" in nursing home beds occupied this year compared to last year the fatalities could be double the official tally.

I hear he forced the COVID nursing home probe to live with another probe that was being shut down and unexpectedly the COVID probe suddenly shut down too.
he sent the old folks to their certain deaths because he was tragically and mistakenly convinced that his hospitals were going to be overrun by younger (voters) patients that were more worth saving.
it’s exactly what will happen in the bigger health care system as soon as government can pull it off; old people die because they cost too much money and are too much trouble.
Speech is something you would hang someone over?
I guess that is a Nazi approach.
YES! When the “speech” issues from a so-called EXPERT (Fauci) who 15 YEARS EARLIER declared HCQ efficacious for viral diseases, NOW (possibly due to a financial interest with Gates in a pharmaceutical mfgr poised to introduce a far more costly -PROFITABLE- preventative med) NOW DISMISSES HCQ as beneficial & LIFE SAVING!
Watch the video then you tell ME what the hell’s going on here!

Have fun with that. So, you disagree with someone. Hang em high.
That’s cool. And dangerous.
WOW. I guess none of YOUR people died because of that “DISAGREEMENT”?
When I noted the Vermont reference, I knew I’d hear something like that.
Don’t forget to get that Biden/Harris yard sign before the rush begins.

So excited you post twice.
You must be raw from being so hot for me.
I am not going to watch your virus filled video.
I am more interested who else you would hang for speech. Not action.
It is a fascinating concept: declaring who should lose their life for speech. How are you going to rescind the first amendment? Would you try for all clauses in the first amendment, or just the speech clause.
And of course you would have to rescind the sixth amendment —since you alone are condemning these people to death.
Please let me know how you are going to wrangle all that from assisted living.
And get some lotion.
