Spectator US: A major Associated Press report this week dove into New York’s nursing home COVID-19 death count and found the numbers outright wrong.
The story was shocking. Reporters Bernard Condon, Matt Sedensky and Meghan Hoyer noted that ‘unlike every other state with major outbreaks, New York only counts residents who died on nursing home property and not those who were transported to hospitals and died there.’
But it wasn’t new. In fact, AP had sounded the alarm on the miscount as early as May. They learned New York’s Health Department wasn’t even trying to count the numbers: ‘New York’s Health Department told the AP May 8 it was not tracking how many recovering COVID-19 patients were taken into nursing homes under the order.’
Back then, when AP presented their own tally, the Health Department told them it couldn’t ‘comment on data we haven’t had a chance to review, particularly while we’re still validating our own comprehensive survey of nursing homes admission and readmission data in the middle of responding to this global pandemic.’
The March 25 state directive, which ordered nursing homes to accept COVID-19 positive patients, contributed to the wild spread of the virus among the most vulnerable. Cuomo adamantly refuses to take any responsibility for the order. read more
Hopefully Cuomo may one day find himself in a nursing home, subject to the tender mercies of some Democrat governor like himself.
We will see if this story gets any traction since it came from the AP. I am not optimistic since the initial reports were pretty much buried and any efforts to expose Herr Governor were swept away. You know Fredo and the “news” network he works for won’t say anything.
Cuomo has a pronounced tell. When he is lying, his voice jumps up about 2 octaves and takes on a whine that is similar to a five year old child caught with stolen candy. It’s a “If you’ll just BELIEVE me, I won’t have to break your leg” threat. This man is a criminally culpable monster.
The elderly use more services than they pay in taxes, and dems hate that. Remember the “Pills instead of surgery” speech by obama.
I’d say follow the money. Did nursing homes get $8000 or $29,000 per patient like the hospitals? Does Cuomo have stock in or own nursing homes. Were patients deliberately diverted for $$$$$ and a greater number of infected.
Why NYC’s Largest Emergency Hospital Is Empty During COVID-19

Cuomo and other democRAT governors found a way to thin the elderly herd since democRATs couldn’t get their Death Panels!
A nuther classic case of projection. democRATz always said that Reagan, Bush and Trump could get away with murdering someone on the White House lawn… these creepy democRATz actually HAVE murdered people behind the closed doors of Nursing Homes!!
I certainly hope this is not a closed case. These are heinous crimes that absolutely demand charges, perp-walks and prosecutions!!
TRF
These are heinous crimes that absolutely demand charges, perp-walks and prosecutions!!
One way to get rid of conservative votes.
And this happened while that hospital ship, and temporary hospitals, sat empty. And Cuomos’ attempt to corner the market on ventilators @ 39 k$ per death by ventilator.
We should build a memorial to the old folks of NY who died, but at least stopped Cuomos’ hopes of being president. Perhaps a plaque just like that picture at the top, installed on times square? (behind bulletproof glass)
Vietvet- Exactly!
Seeing how Fredo was wandering around the house and outside while he had the ‘Rona (and infected his own kid) I highly doubt he’d give a shit about his old brother. Fredo only as his job because his brother is governor.
And that’s the only reason he shows any ‘love’ towards him.
There has to have been inbreeding in that family. I’ve never seen the dumb and mean trait run so far back into a family.
