CNN finally cracks down on Gov. Cuomo's nursing home controversy after giving anchor's brother softball treatment
Fox News ^ | October 01 2020 | Joseph A. Wulfsohn

CNN's coverage of Democratic New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo's nursing home controversy appears to be shifting after months of virtually ignoring the subject.

Cuomo has faced intense scrutiny over an order he made back in late March that forced nursing homes to accept patients who tested positive for coronavirus, despite testing deficiencies for both residents and staff. Cuomo signed an executive order on May 11 reversing the policy, stopping hospitals from sending infected patients back to nursing homes and ramping up testing for staff.

During that period, roughly 6,326 coronavirus patients were admitted in New York nursing homes, according to the state's own health department. Reports have shown that anywhere between 6,400-6,700 nursing home residents have died, but The Associated Press suggested in August that due to underreporting, the actual death toll could be higher than 11,000.

it is very likely that of the 6k who tested positive some unknown number would have died, however the thousands of previously CCPVisus free nursing home patents would have been saved from a premature death. Cummo is evil.

Read this:

“The Associated Press suggested in August that due to underreporting, the actual death toll could be higher than 11,000.”

If they kept the 6k positive CCPVirus cases separate some of them would have died as a result. By forcing them back in it accelerated the deaths of others wee originally weren’t affected.

Trump sent them The USS Mercy hospital ship, plus he built a massive hospital at the Jarvits Center. Both remained unused even while Cuomo continued to send covid positive patients to old folks home to infect them.
Cuomo is directly responsible for 11,000 covid deaths.

Cuomo didn’t utilize the hospital beds at the Javits Center and the Navy Hospital Ship for the recovering COVID patients because it would have made Orange Man Bad look good. So instead Cuomo ordered them into the nursing homes.

IIRC they also built 2-3 smaller field hospitals at some colleges in the NYC area as well.

The Jarvits Center only saw like a couple dozen or so over a few months when it could have handled thousands. The Mercy was supposed to treat things like broken bones, etc. to free up hospitals for CCPVirus and they never even used it for that.

Teump must answer about proud boys but no one bats an eye when Cuomo gives the genocide smallpox blanket treatment to the elderly.

Why? What caused them to shift so suddenly? Does CNN know something the general public doesn't yet know?

Just thinking out loud. No answers required.

Wonder why nobody ever mentions that Fredo’s bro was allowing confirmed positive staff to continue to report to work until the policy changed in mid-May...

Pertinent, if somewhat dated:

Word Meters finds that New York City (May 1) had an Infection Fatality Rate (IFR) of 1.4% and a 0.28% crude mortality rate (CMR) to date, or 279 deaths per 100,000 population. (In New York city there is normally a a death every 9.1 minutes. and primarily due to its COVID-19 death rate New York state constitutes about 29% of all reported COVID-19 deaths as of May 26, with over 1,702 deaths per million, and which heavily affects the overall mortality rate of the US. )
