New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) on Monday denied his office was at fault for the coronavirus deaths of more than 6,000 nursing home residents in the state, calling such accusations a "political charade."
Cuomo defended his office's response to the pandemic during an interview with MSNBC's Stephanie Ruhle.
Yes, we had more people die in nursing homes than anywhere else, because we had more people die, because the federal government missed the boat and never told us this virus was coming from Europe and not from China, Cuomo said. And January, February, March, before they did the European travel ban, 3 million people came from Europe and brought the virus to New York and the federal government didn't know and the federal government and the CDC and all of them failed to handle this pandemic and warn this nation.
So, New York had more cases, more deaths, and more deaths in nursing home because that's who the virus affects. It affects senior citizens, we know that. You look at any state and they had a tremendous number of deaths in nursing homes, he added. It's all a political charade, and it's an ugly one frankly, to talk about a number of deaths and suggest there was politics added.

Did he order the COVID19 patients into the nursing homes or not? Was there capacity elsewhere for these patients or not? What the “federal government” told him or didn’t tell him is completely irrelevant.
So he doesn’t address the issue, but is he in effect saying that no, he did not order the return of covid victims to their nursing homes?
No Fault Gubamint is a prominent feature of DemocRat run states and cities.
Just look what it has done for California and New York and Washington.
Yeah, and there was no Jewish holocaust either
BTW, Cuomo didn’t just order the WuFlu patients back. He allowed positive staffers to continue working at their facilities until last month.
Yes, we had more people die in nursing homes than anywhere else,but he could care less it’s all bout getting fed money.
Wow. In a political party that is chock full of scummy cowards and liars, he has managed to rise quickly to the upper echelon.
See the letter at my link.
On March 13, Fedzilla relaxed the regs allowing nursing homes to refuse.
On March 25 Cuomo ordered patients sent back.
A few facilities refused, but most didn’t.
The question is why.
Note to Fredo’s brother: You’re about to find out the hard way that the cover up us worse than the crime.
It’s about Medicaid.
Where did they issue orders to do this? From what I understand it’s only NY, NJ and Calipornia!
No effect at all at the election!
Note to Scalise: Here’s something to look into...were patient outcomes for Medicaid/Medicare dual eligible patients worse than for patients with Medicare or with Medicare and Medigap.
They NEVER reached out to ANYONE.
Bump
Reminds me of a movie line from a Drill Sargent.” A dead Marine is not sorry, he’s just dead. “ It’s not a charade, it was murder , pure and simple.
Yo, Andy, we’re not blaming your office, we’re blaming you personally.
Consciousness of guilt much...?
This is something the RATS are famous for: blaming others for the stupidity of what they do, and over and over again they haven’t figured this out...
My goodness, who would call ‘his honor’s office’ the blame, the office is a solid, well built item, he on the other hand is a human object, (I think) that makes decisions and HIS decision was to move people with the virus into nursing homes because he wanted less people in his State...less people in his State, according to his mind set, means more money in his pocket...don’t know how that works, but he seems to think that...
Yes, HE did this and he can’t put the gel back into the tube now, he has gotten caught, he can blame, he can lie, like he always does, or anything else, but we caught him and now he has to own up to it or the POS he has always been and always will be.
Good luck New Yorkers, you voted for him, now enjoy the fruit of the tree...you deserve it...
This is the first I have read that Andrew Cuomo was from the ‘Dindu Nuttin’ family.
Since you mention population, interesting factoid: More people have died from WuFlu in NYC this year than the net population gain for the city in 2019.
WTG, pols!
NYS will be lucky if it only loses two House seats.
Being a Democrat means nothing is ever your fault.
