New York nursing home whistleblower: Cuomo's order was 'ridiculous,' warned officials 'we can't be doing this'
Fox News ^ | 3/18/21 | Greg Norman

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."

Cuomo had an order that prevented visitors to nursing homes, ostensibly to prevent covid from getting inside. Meanwhile, he had another order forcing covid into nursing homes. You can’t get any more stupid than this man.

Follow the money.

Directors were either threatened and/or bribed into taking them back.

Ask them UNDER OATH which it was.

Start with Steuben County if anyone wants a suggestion.

He also allowed positive staffers to continue to report to work until he rescinded the policy in mid-May of 2020.

"We can’t be doing this. It’s just not right to the residents," Kraus told Fox News.."

Cuomo does not care one iota about the residents, human life be damned, he only cares about making himself look good, he has a tremendous ego.

Normal daily rate for retired in NY City is 250 to 450 dollars per day. Covid patients? Goes up to 5k per day per patient.

I get that Cuomo is a Liberal and therefore has no problem with sending people to their deaths - but why did all his underlings carry out his orders? After all, we hanged people after WW2 for essentially doing the same thing.

We only hung the Germans for the atrocities they committed. We never hung any American progressives, even though they were sterilizing people and experimenting on “undesirables” right here under our noses. We just swept all that under the rug.

It’s not at all ridiculous if your intent is to murder nursing home patients,

It makes you a serial killer, but not stupid,

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.
