(CNN)New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo's office deflected questions about a report from The Associated Press that the state sent more than 4,500 patients recovering from coronavirus to nursing homes by saying they followed guidance from federal agencies.
"I just want to reiterate once again that the policy that the Department of Health put out was in line directly with the March 13 directive put out by (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) and (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services) that read, and I quote, 'Nursing homes should admit any individuals from hospitals where Covid is present,'" said Secretary to the Governor Melissa DeRosa on Saturday during a briefing. "Not could, should ... that is President (Donald) Trump's CMS and CDC.
"There are over a dozen states that did the exact same thing, many of whom were concerned about hospital capacity. ... Obviously any death is an unfortunate death," DeRosa said, listing the totals from other states amongst New York's. "It's been a national and international tragedy that everybody has had to grapple with and it is something that we're trying to learn from every day and move forward."

Andrew Cuomo deserves to be tarred and feathered.
Is there anyone left in NYS with the stones to stand up to this gavone?
Cuomo is lying to protect himself. Her guilty of murder.
‘Nursing homes should admit any individuals from hospitals where Covid is present,’
two things, should and MUST are two different things
second, it said if the Chin-flu was in the hospital, NOT PEOPLE WITH THE CHINA-FLU
“Nursing homes should admit any individuals from hospitals where Covid is present”
Hey you idiot, it didn’t say individuals who are COVID positive.
So, Andrew, what you are saying is the you knew is insanely stupid to put COVID-19 patient in nursing homes, but you did it anyway because that is what the Feds said do? Your excuse is “I was just doing what I was told.”
ARE YOU THAT STUPID????? CAN YOU NOT USE YOUR BRAIN AND THINK FOR YOURSELF??????
People, this is the problem with liberals. They LOVE big government. Big Government is right. Big Government is best for you. Follow Big Government.
Follow them right into the dustbin of history.
Trump, of course.
Gee, I don’t remember Trump saying “Put highly contagious sick people into close group living situations with the people most susceptible and most likely to die from it.”
And even if he did say something like that, anyone with a smidgen of common sense would know better than to do it.... unless they WANTED to kill off people who no longer contribute to the obscene New York Tax System.
Cuomo does the daily breifing on COVID in NYS.
He wrote an order leading to infecting and killing off nursing home patients,
Then after weeks he put up an new order reversing his own order.
How it works, Trump gets the blame, Coumo gets the credit for reversing Trump's CDC policies in NYS.
Great post. Good research!
Too quick.
Tar and feathered...
then drawn and quartered.
From the memorandum:
“
When should a nursing home accept a resident who was diagnosed with COVID-19 from a hospital? A nursing home can accept a resident diagnosed with COVID-19 and still under TransmissionBased Precautions for COVID-19 as long as the facility can follow CDC guidance for Transmission-Based Precautions. If a nursing home cannot, it must wait until these precautions are discontinued. CDC has released Interim Guidance for Discontinuing Transmission-Based Precautions or In-Home Isolation for Persons with Laboratory-confirmed COVID-19. “
The facilities could not meet CDC guidance.
He’s lying about the intent in the memo.
And the media is eagerly helping.
Wonder why Cuomo didn’t lie himself, but had his secretary do it?
Pennsylvania should be added to that list.
As of Friday 69% of COVID deaths in PA were in nursing homes.
Sixteen thousand counts of negligent homicide.
I like your explanation except wondering about the contradiction above.
How did Coumo ‘lie’ but ‘not lie himself’.
‘Trust science’. ‘Trust the experts’
“...Sixteen thousand counts of negligent homicide....”
No, not negligent. It was intentional. It is mass murder and the evil POS should be tried for it.
Coumo and his media says it was Trump's CDC.
Where is the ALL KNOWING CDC addressing this?
As I understand the article the dishonest statement came from his secretary.
It didn't say individuals with Covid, it said "individuals from hospitals with Covid." This was ostensibly to protect the uninfected who were in hospital where Covid was present.
It's likely that they meant other patients who happened to be recovering in a hospital at the time that Covid was discovered. It wasn't a license to ship the infected elderly into nursing homes.
"There are over a dozen states that did the exact same thing, many of whom were concerned about hospital capacity.
President Trump gave Cuomo the Javits Center field hospital and the Comfort hospital ship to use, and instead Cuomo sent the elderly infected patients back to nursing homes instead of isolating them in one of these special care centers.
It's a nasty, backstabbing attempt to deflect the blame onto President Trump, who was the one person who singly helped Cuomo the most. Unfortunately, it's the Democrat thing to do.

The intent is to relieve overloaded hospitals. So patients who have some other condition (Not COVID-19) would go to nursing homes so the hospitals could devote more resources to COVID-19.
