New York nursing homes were forced to accept more than 4,500 coronavirus patients from hospitals thanks to an order from Democratic New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a tally by The Associated Press found.
Cuomo has come under heated criticism for his March 25 order forcing recovering COVID-19 patients into New York nursing homes — a decision blamed for the state’s high body count among the elderly. The governor waited roughly six weeks before reversing the order on May 10.
The New York State Department of Health refused to release the results of an internal survey on how many coronavirus patients were placed in nursing homes across the state, the AP reported.
The health department is knowingly under-counting the number of nursing home deaths as a result of a quiet rule change made in late April, a department spokesman previously acknowledged following a Daily Caller News Foundation investigation.
The state changed the rules for counting nursing home deaths between April 28 and May 3, after Cuomo faced scrutiny for ordering nursing homes to accept coronavirus patients.
Until at least April 28, the health department was disclosing coronavirus deaths of all nursing home and adult care facility residents, regardless of whether the patient died at their long-term care facility or at a hospital.
By May 3, the state had made a subtle change to its disclosures, web archives show. The health department now only discloses coronavirus deaths of long-term care patients who died while physically present at their facility.
Put differently: A nursing home resident, who became sick at their nursing home and then died shortly after arriving at a hospital, is omitted from New York’s tally of nursing home deaths.
The end result is a sharp reduction in the official number of deaths at many such facilities. New York is the only state with a major coronavirus outbreak in nursing homes to report those fatalities that way.

How many fine folks had their valuable lives terminated (and in a way that involve such suffering) all because Mister Cuomo made a decision to send the infected to live with the elderly residents?
Someone must be developing a number, perhaps a range of deaths.

Nursing homes have ‘no right’ to reject coronavirus patients, Cuomo says
By Bernadette Hogan and Bruce Golding April 23, 2020
"“They don’t have a right to object. That is the rule and that is the regulation and they have to comply with that,” Cuomo said during his daily briefing in Albany."
Trump made him do it.
Just saw this jackass on Colbert, what a retard.
Coumo just said Brad Pitt should play Fauci and he wants Deniro to play him LOL what a self centered ass!

Blood on his hands.
IF I WAS SATAN and could think of devilish ways to destroy mankind, I don’t think I could come up with such a brilliant and vicious way as NYers have devised. Here is their ingenious plan: send people with covid to stay in retirement homes (where everybody is prone to contract it and die) and send young and middle aged convicts out of prison (who aren’t prone to die from covid like the elderly) into society where they can murder, steal and rape again. Yes, NY is a cesspool and I give it full credit for coming up with that brilliant scheme. Many kudos from Satan!
As Democrats, they are unimaginably depraved and take every opportunity and perceived ambiguity to advance the culture of death and to kill the people of their respective states. Our president knows that Democrats despise the American people but tragically failed to anticipate and block their eager genocidal impulses, encoded into brutally enforced decree-laws.
In other unrelated news - pension funds will be solvent for 5 more years.
Nobody worry. The AARP will still support him.
And doctors simply comply with the evil. Pure evil.
AARP is corrupt.
The Jacob Javitts convention center with 2,000 beds was EMPTY.
The Navy hospital ship Mercy with 1,000 beds was EMPTY.
Then this asshole populates nursing homes with infected patients. This ain’t rocket science boys and girls... this is MURDER.
Cuomo is guilt of the deaths of thousands in nursing homes. He personally authorized moving Covid infected patients into nursing homes just to get Fed funds. He knew the impact it would have on the elderly but did it anyway just for the money. Javits Center was staffed and ready to accept over 4000 patients and the Naval Hospital ship was staffed and ready to accept a thousand infected patients but never was hardly used. Follow the money and you will find Cuomo responsible, no one else.

He should get along well with Maw Whitmer in Michigan and Secretary of Health Tranny Levine in PA..
Lets find out why a 20 year old in Michigan infected with the virus was put into a nursing home. The 20 year old was arrested for continually punching a 75 year old in the face. You saw the video. Who is responsible?
The nursing home owners had no choice to say no..Pennsylvania health director took his mother out THEN forced nursing homes to take in co vid. patients......Trump had nothing to do with it.....
