And why is it now being officially reported
My understanding was the nursing homes were required to take Covid patients being released from hospitals for convalescence as new patients, not just “take back” old patients. Did I get it wrong?
Yup. Midway through March both Medicare and Medicaid relaxed regs so facilities could refuse if patients couldn’t be safely returned.
Cuomo sent them back anyway.
The real question that needs to be asked is why did so many facilities knuckle under to Cuomo when Fedzilla had their backs...?
My bet is that the state threatened and/or bribed facilities to take the patients.
If true, there should be no immunity for THAT.
For anyone.
What I meant was, that my understanding was the nursing homes had to take patients from hospitals even if they had not been nursing home patients before. Hospitals routinely send patients to nursing homes for “rehab” when they are too sick or weak to care for themselves, but don’t require the full services of a hospital any longer. They push them out as soon as possible.
Overstated by two-thirds in hospitals; understated by half in nursing homes.
OMG! Can’t stop laughing! Anypne that publishes that book needs doxing/boycotted.
And I thought we saw the last of the “Caskets For Clunkers” program.
“A damning attorney general’s report that showed Gov. Andrew Cuomo and other officials downplayed the deadly impact of COVID-19 on New York’s nursing homes finally led the state’s embattled health commissioner on Thursday to reveal the total number of resident fatalities.
In a defensive, nearly 1,700-word statement, Dr. Howard Zucker released figures that put the tally of confirmed and presumed deaths in both nursing homes and hospitals at 12,743 as of Jan. 19.”

I suppose the FBI was too busy recruiting ANTIFA/BLM to conduct the “civil unrest” Trump trap hijinx, no time to investigate mass murder of potential voters
He should be sued into oblivion by these poor families
Maye he can add a new "milestone" to his bizarre poster he commissioned.
I believe that has been the case before, however that is normally not an issue until you mandate nursing homes MUST take CCPVirus positive patients in, or else even if you are COVOD free or don’t have the facilities/staff to handle them.
They build numerous field hospitals just for COVID that were never used but forced positive patents into nursing homes.
Crimes against humanity.
The chair for Comrade Cuomo.
zip tied to a wheelchair and parked in nursing homes across the state for a year comes to mind...
It was always about the election, Grampa Dave.
Yes, blame the private businesses for following orders. My take away, as well.
It was always about the election, Grampa Dave.
One of my earlier post/replies and tagline was:
It was never about our health!
Janice Dean: Cuomo, state of NY has ‘lied and deceived’ us with inaccurate nursing home death data:
Jan. 29, 2021 - 4:12 - Gov. Andrew Cuomo remains silent on nursing home death miscount reports.

1. Put contagious patients in close proximity to the most vulnerable.
2. Wait for the most vulnerable to get sick and die.
3. Save your federal overlords millions in future costs from the soon-to-be bankrupt social security and Medicare programs, as the dead draw from neither.
Provided that the expense of any hospitalizations prior to death don’t outweigh the above savings, the federal government wins.
Follow the money.
She’s turning on cuomo?
What’s up with that?
Is she covering her butt for some reason?
