There was a dilemma initially. Everyone was concerned that the hospitals would be overrun. So when a musing home patient was hospitalized for COVID and was stable for discharge the hospitals wanted them out both to free up beds and to reduce hospital contagion. When nursing homes wisely declined their return, the hospitals insisted that by law they needed to be taken back. I’m betting they leaned on Cuomo to help them enforce the nursing home return. I think the real problem here is that no one considered the possibility of a third option for discharged COVID patients. For that, there is no excuse.

On another thread today I posted a comment along the lines of:
Since early April the 5 star hotels in NYC have been empty or nearly so.
Of course, Cuomo and Deblasio, along with the incompetent underlings they hired, were incapable of thinking outside the box and create a covid hotel for these covid positive nursing home patients at the Waldorf Astoria..
No, instead Democrats, as they did in San Francisco, put drug addicted homeless in their hotels.
As I believe Forrest Gump said: “You can’t fix stupid.”
