Lawmakers and advocates commemorated the more than 15,000 nursing home deaths in New York amid the COVID-19 pandemic on Wednesday, as they pitched a measure to get to the bottom of the missteps made under disgraced ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo that caused the fatalities in elder-care facilities.
During a press conference in Albany, an ideologically diverse coalition rallied behind a bill to designate March 25 as “We Care Remembrance Day,” and another to create a body tasked with studying the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic response on deaths in nursing homes.
Friday marks exactly two years since the state Department of Health under then-commissioner Howard Zucker implemented a directive that required nursing homes to readmit residents who tested positive for the coronavirus. “It wasn’t just an executive order — it was a declaration of eldercide in the state of New York,” charged Assemblyman Ron Kim (D-Queens), a fierce Cuomo critic whose uncle died in April 2020 of COVID-19 in a Flushing nursing home.
“This executive order was one of the biggest mistakes in the history of the state of New York,” Kim said.
The infamous state Department of Health order, rescinded under public pressure on May 10, 2020, forced sickened seniors into facilities housing those most vulnerable to COVID-19 and increased the death toll among residents of them, according to a New York State Bar Association report.
It led to a spike of “several hundred and possibly more than 1,000” fatalities in state-regulated nursing homes, according to a watchdog report released in February 2021.In April 2020, Cuomo claimed he was unaware of the directive, which stated, “No resident shall be denied readmission or admission to the [nursing home] solely based on a confirmed or suspected diagnosis of COVID-19.”

Probe THIS you bunch of useless hacks.
Might ? Slow the restoration of King Cuomo II.
Or maybe not.
There is no statute of limitation on murder.
Without the moral conscience of Judeo/Christianity, such people are no different than run-of-the-mill psychopaths...except, of course, people like Cuomo have the power to kill in great numbers and get away with it.
The NY GOP won’t do anything
They would like you to forget that. I will not because the same think happened in Pennsylvania with a governor who still has not been driven from office in disgrace by an unrelated side issue.
Further, his health secretary, who performed an Eichmann role in this tragedy, was given a big promotion in the puppet regime of Joe Xiden.
These are the reasons that Julius Streicher was duly tried at Nuremberg and justly hanged thereafter. The mainstream media cannot be allowed to disown their prominent role in this tragedy for exactly the same reasons.
No different from the killer Clintons.
Then the fool writes a “book” about how he was a dempanic action hero. ROTFL. Without politics, failed clowns wouldn’t have jobs.
I'm really surprised that some Mafioso who may have lost a close relative hasn't conducted his own "probe".
He’s considering running to get his job back. Mark my words, he runs, he wins. NYers are THAT effed up.
