Gov Cuomo signs bill repealing legal immunity granted to New York nursing homes during pandemic as he faces probe into hundreds of excess deaths at care facilities

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed a bill into law on Tuesday that repeals legal immunity that the state had granted to nursing homes during the pandemic.

Effective immediately, nursing homes and other healthcare facilities can be held civilly and criminally liable for treatment of individuals with COVID-19 after the bill was sponsored and championed by critics including state senator Alessandra Biaggi.

Cuomo himself has faced calls to resign amid probes into whether the state mishandled nursing home deaths related to the pandemic and accusations that the state miscounted hundreds of nursing home deaths as hospital deaths.

...the state miscounted hundreds of nursing home deaths as hospital deaths.

Wasn't it thousands?

This could cause nursing home owners and staff to avoid making charges about New York policies that resulted in deaths now that the nursing homes share liability.

Remember when the MSM went wall-to-wall with a story about something having to do with tolls on the George Washington Bridge in New Jersey?

Anyone die in that one?

Would this not be an ex post facto bill?

It never said the bill was retroactive. It stated that effective immediately, the immunity provisions are repealed.

Let me ask the refrigerator your question. I just have to push Nully out of the door, first. So I can come into his house and go to his kitchen.

Yes.
But any court cases from that would be heard in about six to ten years if ever.

That's why the low-life, murdering sleaze bag did it.

Anything I have to say could be considered a hate crimpe towards Italians. Best not say those terms.

However, WHAT A PILE OF EXCREMENT! First he murders grandma, now he signs into law to make him immune for his crimes? I dont give two $hits about his affairs, which msm has focused on. Hes a flipping murderer! More to the point a Mass Murderer (less people died on 911), than in his nursing home orders. And what happens to him? He writes a book, and gets a effing Grammy while murdering granny. What a POS.
