New York nursing home whistleblower: Cuomo's order was 'ridiculous,' warned officials 'we can't be doing this'

EXCLUSIVE: A New York City nursing home director tells Fox News that Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s order last year requiring such facilities to take in COVID-positive patients released from hospitals was "ridiculous" and that he warned state officials "we can’t be doing this."

Michael Kraus, the administrator of the Silver Lakes Specialized Care Center in Staten Island, said he immediately raised the alarm after first hearing about the March 25, 2020, order in a conference call with other directors, hospital leaders and state officials.

"I said that’s ridiculous. We can’t be doing this. It’s just not right to the residents," Kraus told Fox News in an exclusive interview with correspondent Aishah Hasnie that aired Thursday on "America Reports."

It wasn’t stupidity; it was pure evil. Killer Cuomo wanted those people to die to drive up the Covid-1984 deaths and then blame Trump.

That's why Democrats are trying to use the "Metoo" movement to push out President Trump.

The victimized women and now the health people tell us all NOW what they kept totally silent about before when it could have saved people’s lives. “Nobody asked me.”

True courage is very rare—and that is why folks who have it become legends.

I hope his phone number is unlisted because someone from the “Chamber” is going to scream and threaten him until he recants.

So under the Prince Andrew regime, if you refused ANY directive issued by “the Chamber” you would immediately be subject to a formal insubordination report. (I know..)

Why does no one ever question the empty medical boat that Trump sent or the hospital that Samaritan’s Purse put up. Those sick patients could have gone to the hospital/ship and been taken care of. That is what it was there for. No one EVER mentions it.

Yeah, I remember that and President Trump went out of his way to provide everything Cuomo was asking for, the ships never appeared to be used,

It seemed to me that something much more than mere incompetence was/is going on here,

Holy heck.

It wasn't just nursing homes. And the legislature is pleading ignorance on this, too...
