'Blood on his hands' - Andrew Cuomo admits forcing COVID-19 patients into nursing homes, refuses to take blame
American Thinker ^ | 05/11/2020 | Monica Showalter

New York's Gov. Andrew Cuomo and his political allies were quick to declare that President Trump had 'blood on his hands' based on the state's failure to prepare supplies for the coronavirus pandemic.

It now comes to light that the bloody hands were Cuomo's.

It's not just that the subways were continuously running packed, or New York City's schools took a long time to shut, or city officials were busy going to the gym, if not encouraging people to attend those Chinatown parades, the better to Get Trump.

The worst of it was from the death toll coming out of New York City's nursing homes, where a disproportionate percent of New York's humongous death toll occurred. Not only were the nursing homes with the city's most vulnerable residents not so much as basically protected, they were positively seeded with COVID-19 patients, rolling in from the hospitals, forced into the homes no matter how much the homes objected, because 'discrimination.' Nursing homes weren't even allowed to ask incoming patients if they were coming back 'stabilized' from the coronavirus units. This, despite President Trump having sent a whole hospital ship to take care of such outbound COVID-19 patients, which stood largely empty. Instead of sending them there, the nursing homes were positively forced to take the COVID-19 patients while the hospitals, knowing what was going to happen, sent along extra body bags with the arriving COVID-19 patients to prepare for the inevitable.

Cuomo, the one who spoke of Trump's hands being bloodied, sleazily denied any knowledge of this horrible, lethal decision, and even argued that protecting nursing homes was "not our job." He mendaciously told critics elsewhere that his forcings were consistent with CDC guidelines. He threatened nursing homes with de-certification if they 'couldn't protect' the resident patients being shoved in with newly arriving COVID-19 patients.

This is the man the Democrats wish were running for President instead of the sexual harrasser, Joe Biden.

What ever happened to the 2,500 bed Jacob Javits Center Field Hospital? It sits there less than half empty.

Less than half empty would imply a majority of it is full. I’m guessing you meant less than half full.

And Samaritans Purse field hospital treated over 300 patients before being ordered to leave by the intolerant left homo lobby.

Yes, that’s what I meant. Poor choice of words, sorry.

Did the naval hospital ship ever get past filling 20 beds? That story sure vanished in a hurry.

We started to contribute to them after hurricane Sandy; they were all over LI helping out. There’s plenty of decent people in NYS, but we’re overrun by the garbage!

Cumo-19 is afraid to make hard decisions, which is why the state is still closed and why he killed so many nursing home residents.

Not quite the best quote, it’d be more like: “So what, whacha gonna do, CRACKUH!”

No more than a hundred patients. It originally was intended to take in Non-Covid patients to ease the load of the hospitals, but Cuomo requested that Trump allow Covid patients to be accepted, which Trump immediately granted.

What ever happened to that, we still do not know. All I know is the ship has left the Hudson.

Both were indecisive, and that is preventing Andy from opening his state and what caused the nursing hope calamity.

Remember back in the days radio host Bob Grant, who
despised his father Mario referred to him as IL Supremo

After got critized because sounded too much like Il Duce changed it to Il Facem (the Buffoon)

Looks like didn’t fall far from tree

From the onset it was all political in nature. When Trump sounded the alarm, Cuomo, deblasio and the NYC health commissioner were falling over each other on the local news stations letting NY’ers know this is just an average flu season, ride the trains, go to shows have dinner with friends, BASICALLY SAYING F TRUMP. The boat, the field hospital and re done javits center was not used purposely to stick it to trump and continued to overload the hospitals for medicare money $52,000 per patient admitted. The despicable deed was murdering those poor elderly in the nursing homes. HE NEEDS TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE, The feds need to get involved. Hoping these families of the murdered pool TOGETHER AND GO TO THE FEDS FOR HELP
