Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s Health Department understated the number of New Yorkers who died in nursing homes during the early days of the coronavirus pandemic by more than 50 percent as the facilities struggled to properly isolate and treat residents amid a state order they not turn away COVID-19 patients.
The bombshell finding was contained in a new 76-page report released Thursday by state Attorney General Letitia James, which found that mismanagement and long-standing problems in the private care business turned nursing homes into COVID death traps.
“As the pandemic and our investigations continue, it is imperative that we understand why the residents of nursing homes in New York unnecessarily suffered at such an alarming rate,” said Attorney General James in a statement.
“While we cannot bring back the individuals we lost to this crisis, this report seeks to offer transparency that the public deserves and to spur increased action to protect our most vulnerable residents,” she continued. “Nursing homes residents and workers deserve to live and work in safe environments, and I will continue to work hard to safeguard this basic right during this precarious time.”
As part of the report, James’ investigators surveyed 62 nursing homes across the state and found that 1,914 residents from those facilities either died there or at nearby hospitals after testing positive for coronavirus or exhibiting symptoms of the deadly disease.
That figure was 56 percent higher than the numbers for those facilities published by the state Department of Health, which only published the number of people who passed away while still at the nursing homes at the time of their deaths, not those who were subsequently taken to a hospital and then died.

100% criminal! Cuomo, Newsom, and others are absolutely guilty of tens of thousands of cases of criminally negligent homicide!
“Criminally negligent homicide occurs when the perpetrator acts in a reckless, dangerous, or negligent manner which causes the death of another person.” - https://www.ny-criminal-defense-lawyer.com/manslaughter-vs-criminally-negligent-homicide/
I wonder how many of the elderly victims were dual eligibles on both Medicare and Medicaid...?
Hint, hint...
Proving intent is difficult. Proving criminally negligent homicide when you force nursing homes to accept people known to be infected with a disease that kills elderly folks at extremely high rates (~18% for those over 80 years) is TRIVIAL. On its face, it’s a clear and obvious slam dunk case. Each of them. Times tens of thousands of cases. The question then becomes not IF they’re guilty, but HOW MANY cases can be attributed to them. As a prosecutor, your easy answer is to charge with the minimum number of lives lost directly because of the policy. Whether that’s 10,000 deaths or 40,000 deaths isn’t that critical as the punishments will be massive either way.
And they DESERVE it.
“As part of the report, James’ investigators surveyed 62 nursing homes across the state and found that 1,914 residents from those facilities either died there or at nearby hospitals after testing positive for coronavirus or exhibiting symptoms of the deadly disease.”
That’s what we are experiencing. The nursing homes are holding patients until they start to crash and then calling EMS to transport them out so they die elsewhere.
We transported multiple people with DNR’s one of whom crashed before we got out of the parking lot.
It has slowed down in our area, but we were transporting 4-5/ambulance/day for several weeks.
CORONA VIRUS Cuomo Follows Newsom in Easing COVID Restrictions After Biden Inauguration!
“Right on cue.”
Published on 25 January, 2021 Paul Joseph Watson Pacific Press
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has followed Michigan, Chicago and California in announcing plans to ease COVID restrictions, prompting many conservatives to allege that the timing is political.
The Governor said in a press conference that the situation in relation to new cases and hospitalizations was improving, meaning lockdown measures could be relaxed soon.
“Cuomo didn’t give further details on what type of restrictions he might loosen or what cluster zones might be eliminated or changed,” reports Syracuse.com. “The state Health Department is reviewing data on the zones now and Cuomo said expects to have announcements in the coming days.”
Respondents to the story said the move was politically timed to help Joe Biden ultimately claim victory over COVID.
“Yep. Right on cue after Trump is out of office!” remarked one.

“Now they will reduce the unreported replication factor for the COVID test, and presto – no more COVID,” said another.
“Amazing how it all disappeared a week after Trump’s gone,” added another.
As we highlighted earlier, California Governor Gavin Newsom is also set to lift the stay-at-home order across all regions tomorrow based on data that’s not publicly available.
“Michigan, Chicago, now California. It’s almost as if the “science” changed, once Biden became president? How convenient for Whitmer, Lightfoot, and Newsom?” tweeted Steve Cortes.
“Using small businesses, churches, schools, and citizens as pawns in a crass political game is evil,” he added.
Michigan, Chicago, now California.
Now just a cotton pickin’ minit here. Let’s be fair. The folks in the nursing home already did their genos-ing around when they were younger. So it was a mostly peaceful, mostly white Logan’s Run-style killing off of old people, but it was not a genocide. Their grandkids are fine.
Yep, not only did that POS get a book deal, but incredibly, unbelievably an Emmy!!!
A mostly peaceful, mostly white genocide.

and crickets
And not one republican has called for investigations into any of this obvious assault on our nation’s most vulnerable citizens for what appears to be financial reasons?
I a just system, he would be arrested.
Difficult?
Nursing homes were immunized for a reason.
They knuckled under for a reason.
What we need are whistle-blowers.
Sadly, I don’t think we’ll get them.
Investigate?!
I don’t know of a single NYS state or federal pol who raised Hell while Cuomo was sending back sick patients AND staff.
Even though Fedzilla had relaxed its regs and they all knew it
Meanwhile, he gave himself a $25000 raise in 2020. The man acts like a mobster and has the sociopathology of Tony Soprano!
Did you read the article? She is blaming the nursing homes.
From the article: "Mismanagement and long-standing problems in the private care business turned nursing homes into COVID death traps."
I’m more talking about conservatives in congress who aren’t calling for federal investigations of the crimes against st hu anity,and that is exactly what it was, not just in ny, but in several states. They committed human rights violations

I suspect the AG wants to run for Governor.
New York’s Killing Fields....courtesy of Governor Nipple Ring,the guy who accused Trump of being responsible for every Wuhan Flu death in the country.
Indict the governors and go for the slam-dunk win. Criminally negligent homicide is so easy to demonstrate here that a first-year law student could prosecute and not even Johnnie Cochran’s ghost would stand a chance.
10s of thousands of counts of criminally negligent homicide should see those governors living out the rest of their lives behind bars.
