A new report out by New York Attorney General Letitia James says that the actual number of deaths at nursing homes and care facilities in the state “may be 50% higher than Gov. Andrew Cuomo has told the public”:
Whoa. New York state has been dramatically undercounting Covid-19 deaths in nursing homes, according to an investigation by the attorney general. The actual number of deaths may be 50% higher than Gov. Andrew Cuomo has told the public: https://t.co/OQPU3KXJl6 (by @jessemckinley)

According to James, “the state only counted deaths at the actual facilities, rather than including deaths of residents who were transferred to a hospital and died there”:

And “[i]n one instance, an unnamed facility reported 11 confirmed and presumed deaths to the Health Department as happening on site through early August. The attorney general’s survey of that same facility, however, found 40 deaths, including 27 at the home and 13 in hospitals”:

Nobody is actually shocked by this though:

And we look forward to the media figuring out a way to turn this on Florida somehow:

Gov. Cuomo should give back the Emmy, too:
Gov Cuomo’s decision to write a book and take a victory lap on COVID (in the middle of the pandemic) may be one of the most tone deaf moves in political history. https://t.co/bqXnCRVZ7S

Sen. Cruz wants to know if CNN (over to you, Chris Cumo and your giant novelty swab) “will cover this dilligently”:
I’m sure CNN will cover this diligently. https://t.co/GTZyV1emfq

And should Gov. Cuomo be worried about criminal charges?
Imagining what an AG Cuomo would have done to a Gov. Spitzer with such a report… https://t.co/byUHBt9Xhm

Yes. Yes he should.
From Rep. Elise Stefanik:
Massive corruption scandal at the highest levels of NY State Government.
The Worst Governor in America & his entire senior team are complicit in an illegal orchestrated coverup.
The sycophant hacks better lawyer up. We know how this went down for Joe “like a brother” Percoco. https://t.co/mE0mzSloWY

Bam!

Ahhh, one death is a tragedy - 25,000 is a statistic.
Cuomo should be indicted like the former Mich Governor.
WOW, she done grown up to be one heck of a fighter.
NY undercounted nursing home coronavirus deaths by as much as 50%, state AG says!:
Rep. Elise Stefanik is demanding that New York Attorney General Letitia James and the U.S. Justice Department subpoena Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s administration for documentation and communications regarding his handling of the coronavirus pandemic.
Stefanik’s remarks come after a report by James was released on Thursday that revealed the state’s COVID-19 death count in nursing home facilities was underreported by as much as 50%. The massive undercount in the report that detailed the findings of an investigation into allegations of patient neglect and other “concerning conduct” by nursing home facilities during the COVID-19 pandemic.
NY UNDERCOUNTED NURSING HOME COVID-19 DEATHS BY AS MUCH AS 50%, STATE AG SAYS
Stefanik said the revelations detailed in the report are indicative of a “massive corruption and coverup scandal at the highest level of New York State Government, implicating the Governor, Secretary of the Governor, the New York State Health Commissioner, and the Governor’s staff.”
The laden accusations against New York brass are the culmination of months of backlash and probing after Cuomo’s directive in March requiring nursing homes in the Empire State to accept patients who had or were suspected of having COVID-19. The decision created an onslaught of COVID-19 cases that infected thousands of elderly patients and resulted in hundreds of deaths among the state’s most vulnerable population.
The New York State Department of Health reported that as of Jan. 27, there were 5,957 confirmed deaths due to the coronavirus in nursing homes and an additional 2,783 presumed deaths. In assisted care facilities, there were 160 deaths and 52 presumed deaths.
“As a fellow New Yorker, I want to publicly thank the effective and tireless advocates who have humbly served as the voice of their lost loved ones and have faced inexcusable treatment from the Governor and his entire team, who we know have orchestrated a criminal coverup and have blood on their hands,” Stefanik said.
Cuomo has defended the nursing home policy as in-line with guidance from the Trump administration at the time. The governor was silent Thursday following the new AG report and did not immediately respond to Fox News’ request for comment.
Cuomo was involved in massive misinformation on social media. People died. Cancel all his social media accounts.

I’ve been in another thread arguing that COVID-19 cases and deaths have been hugely inflated. If it hurts Cuomo, I’m in favor of it. Hell is listening to that gasbag say the word “ventilatorSSS” over and over forever. The problem is, New York is capable of selecting an even bigger bozo as governor.
CCP virus patients sent to nursing homes. What do you call that?
Xiden Death March.......................
Herr DeBlasio...............................
Facia brute
“New York state has been dramatically undercounting Covid-19 deaths in nursing homes......”
~~~
Isn’t that amazing, considering just about every jurisdiciton in the U.S. has been over-counting Covid-19 deaths (everything from co-morbidity to completely unrelated deaths like homicides) to boost their federal funding.
So when it’s your neck on the line, criminally under count. When you can get paid, fraudulently over-count.
And ugly, too!.................
Governor Kodos in action
Dear Lord. Deblasio probably really is dumber than Cuomo. Yikes.
Star Trek!...................
Just watch the videos of this nurse. Absolutely disgusting.
A real sfachim like his dear old dad.
Crimes against Humanity
If they died in the home they were counted but if they were moved to a hospital and died, they were not counted as “home” deaths. Clever....’cept you got caught Mr. Cuomo.
Kodos the Executioner. May Cuomo suffer the same ate.
