Cuomo silent as damning watchdog report says policy may have led to over 1,000 nursing home deaths
Fox News ^ | 2-19-21 | By Vandana Rambaran

An Albany-based watchdog group says that New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo's nursing home directive was likely responsible for more than 1,000 additional resident deaths during the coronavirus pandemic, despite numerous denials by the administration that their order was heavily to blame.

Cuomo's office has been silent on the contents of the report released by the nonprofit Empire Center for Public Policy on Thursday and reviewed by Fox News, which relies on the information provided to them by the New York State Department of Health (DOH).

That 1000 number is off by a factor of at least 10.

Faced with this, you would expect him to do the honourable thing and resign his post.

I understand that’s not in his nature.

Cuomo decisions killed elderly vulnerable nursing home residents. Seriously, how is it that the so called media isn’t demanding his resignation

He will continue to have “Power Point” conferences and talk to everyone like they were 5 years old.

This is a prime example of the danger of the fake news media... they pick and choose who in power they want to hold accountable. They act all high and mighty about “speaking truth to power,” but have no problem turning a blind eye to those they feel are their allies even if it results in deaths. They did this to themselves and that’s why they have lost all credibility. Trump exposed them for what they are.

My guess is 3x

1,000? That’s a fraction of the deaths.

Look at PA and other Dem States, too. They just cut their ongoing costs of care by tens of millions for each State.

Third power. 9000 went in. Those people died and infected residents and staff.

This jokester and his brother, can laugh and avoid scrutiny, but the bottom line is this:

Eventually, if not already, there will be a class action suit. You know, attorney’s advertising if anyone’s family member died in a nursing home?

The law suit will be in the billions of dollars, probably the largest in the New York history.

There will be no defense, and Cuomo will actually work quickly with these trial lawyers to resolve the cases.

He might even preempt it with pay outs before a lawsuit is filed... I don’t know.

I only know, that a republican would have been run out of office months ago...
