Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) reacted to the revealing report released by New York Attorney General Letitia James, which indicated New York State may have vastly undercounted coronavirus-related deaths in nursing homes. He contended the state has “a lower percentage of deaths in nursing homes than other states.”

Cuomo defended his administration’s actions, telling reporters that everyone did the best they could and that the state Department of Health followed federal guidance as the Chinese coronavirus began to grip the nation.

How is it arithmetically possible for New York to have fewer nursing home deaths?

---

There are several different ways to calculate. It is possible that one of them yields only a top-5 rating.

So does the ratio compare nursing home COVID deaths to total COVID deaths? Portion of those in nursing homes? Some government nursing home category? Those from nursing homes that died in the nursing home from COVID?

Many ways to do the math... All of which distract from his doing the unconscionable.

Follow the money??? I'll bet that New York's Medicaid budget deficit improved due to culling their nursing home population with CV-19 positive residents???

Meanwhile, Deep State is going after DeSantis, who's done an excellent job protecting his geezers...

WH Calls for Florida To Close Restaurant and Bars. They are gunning for DeSantis. 2nd time they have called out Florida. 😡🌴

[mewzilla]

The math isn’t getting any better for Cuomo.

Geezers in NYS are still dying from WuFlu.

[Striperman]

Right Andrew, it’s the red states that have all the deaths, NOT!

[Shady]

I have lived here all my life and then some. The friends I have all despise Prince Andrew.

[Pining_4_TX]

He basically said what difference does it make where they died. They died.

[daniel1212]

But since up to 70% of Covid-19 deaths occurred in CT nursing homes and 66 percent in MA then maybe this attempt at damage control is not actually false.

[rxh4n1]

Well now. It’s OK since other states are worse. How cold and heartless is it to say something like that?

[The MAGA-Deplorian]

...and yet can’t name 1 of the “other” states.

[ronnie raygun]

The new # of elderly he murdered from his very own attorney general is 13,000. A politician killed 13,000 civilians!

[BradyLS]

Kodos lies.

[BradyLS]

On what planet is this happening?

Tarsus IV. Under Governor Kodos.

‘You are a disgrace’: Janice Dean goes scorched earth on media she says is STILL covering for Gov. Cuomo

A 76-page report was released this past week by New York Attorney General Letitia James charging Governor Andrew Cuomo with underreporting COVID deaths in nursing homes by approximately 50 percent. Fox News senior meteorologist Janice Dean is outing the “Today Show” for actively covering for Cuomo in a brazen and “disgusting” display of media manipulation and censorship.

Dean laid the blame directly on NBC anchor Lester Holt. She accused him of censoring a friend of hers who was set to blame Cuomo live on air for the death of a loved one. Instead, Holt covered for Cuomo and told her to blame New York. That infuriated Dean.

“So @NBCNews @LesterHoltNBC @TODAYshow censored one of my friends who lost a loved one in a nursing home,” Dean said. She lost both of her in-laws to COVID-19 in New York nursing homes after Cuomo mandated that nursing homes admit COVID-19 patients. Dean tweeted on Saturday, “She wanted to say ‘@andrewcuomo failed us’ in the interview and they told her to say ‘New York failed us’ instead. The mainstream is STILL protecting this guy. Disgusting.”
