New York Mayor and ruler Andrew Cuomo mandated that elderly COV-19 patients be sent to nursing homes. He gave them no time to prepare. As a result, over 25% of the deaths in New York were in nursing homes.
“Nursing homes don’t have a right to object,” Cuomo said. “That is the rule,” he stated emphatically.
IT’S THE RULE, BUT WE INCLUDED BODY BAGS
Thus, with those words, he shuffled off the elderly to unprepared nursing homes to die. Do you know how we know they knew it was a fact too many would die?
The first patients in Queens came with their own supply of body bags. So thoughtful.
Cuomo said he didn’t know, which is, of course, a lie. Of course, he could have dementia as does his comrade Joe Biden.
HE CLAIMED HE DIDN’T KNOW
Cuomo was asked about the state’s policy on admitting or readmitting to nursing homes people who’d tested positive for COVID-19.
“That’s a good question, I don’t know,” the governor said.
The fiat-king has a new tack now that he has been found out. He will blame the nursing homes.
IT’S THE NURSING HOMES’ FAULT
He has started an investigation of nursing homes. Naturally, if they get close to him, as they did with the Moreland Commission, he will shut them down.
However, his investigators know what they are charged to do — find fault with nursing homes who never before received such a directive before COV. Cuomo is defining the parameters for the investigation — lots of Cuomo control.
IT’S THE RULE
After a wave of more than 3,500 deaths of New York nursing home patients from the COVID-19 virus, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said the facilities will be investigated to determine whether they provided adequate care to residents and protection equipment to their staffers.
“They get paid to take care of a resident and they have to do it in accordance with state rules,” Cuomo said. “If they don’t we will take appropriate action.”
Cuomo said the investigation will be led by the state attorney general’s office and the Department of Health, which is led by Dr. Howard Zucker, a Cuomo appointee. On March 25, Zucker issued a controversial mandate requiring the nursing homes to readmit patients who have tested positive for the virus.
NURSING HOMES FIGHT BACK
But The New York State Health Facilities Association which represents the nursing homes argued the homes have “not been treated as a top priority” by the state government. The group noted the state failed to provide the homes with needed testing capability, personal protection equipment, and staffing to deal with the epidemic.
The New York State Health Facilities Association’ CEO, Stephen Hanse, said the homes have adhered to state directives and contended the outbreaks “are not the result of inattentiveness or shortcomings in our facilities.”
Referencing the Zucker-issued rule forcing homes to readmit COVID-19 positive patients at a time when many homes lacked testing and protective equipment, Hanse said: “This treacherous virus spreads through nursing homes like a virus through dry grass and the state’s March 25 policy served to unnecessarily fan the flames of this fire.”
We knew that would happen too! Remember who the first serious casualties were and where they were? They were in a Seattle, WA nursing home.
Cuomo has blood on his hands because he’s stupid and a dictator.
Cuomo is a pandering asshole. Everything he touches turns into shit.
Look at this guy’s speech pattern, he is not not bright, he shows it how he ad libs, and when he ends sentences with additions. The more he talks, the cruder he appears. He is empty.
When Trump talks, he can appear crude at first, but when he adds details, he shines.
This is just a small taste of National Health Care. People need to be very careful what they wish for.
The civil war can not start fast enough, and the politicians need to be the first to go.
Cuomo and DeBlasio have A LOT of blood on their hands and watching their thuggish behavior toward those who were screwed over by them is absolutely DISGUSTING , but not surprising in the least.
This man is pure evil incarnate sending sick people to their death and spreading the virus to Blame Trump
A report on Fox about Italy. But they didn’t make the comparison to Cuomo. Of course not, they are in too much “awe” of him.
In Italy 40% of deaths were in nursing homes and two dozen are under investigation. Some were asked to take in Covid patients from hospitals and weren’t properly isolated. THIS is why their deaths Skyrocketed. Now there are possible manslaughter charges in the works.
“Never attribute to stupidity that which is adequately explained by malice.”
“They have to go to a nursing home and die…That’s the Rule.”
What a miserable Son of a B****. Him and Pelosi, and all their kind, they Do Not Care, they give no thought to the human suffering and misery they are responsible for, or that they would impose on this country if they had a chance.
Communist tyrants never care!
This is the reason surrounding yourself with advisors that are fellow NON-THINKING DEMONRATS is such a bad idea. Cuomo has been Governor for nearly a decade, the state is another Demonrat bankrupt hellhole that has been fiscally mismanaged. Folks better pay attention to the type of politician they elect. OK, I have to hold-my-nose when I vote for non-demonrats, but at least some of them continue to hold American values.
This seems like a particularly cold blooded and carefully planned operation to reduce the drain on state finances by seeding virus victims into the most vulnerable populations.
Get ready, what’s his name Joe will be forced out at the convention and Andrew the ghoul will be the nominee.
No Joe will be nominated and the real winner will be the CO
He is a real patriot. Helping to keep Social Security and Medicare solvent for an addition ten years. (sarc)
Nursing Homes do not provide much if any care. They call the ambulance if needed. Nursing homes are expensive and if you don’t have the money or got in under Medicare/Medicade expect a short pain filled miserable existence. Nursing homes are where they send people to die not get care.
Yup; my brother in CA diagnosed with pneumonia, sent to “nursing” facility, died untreated after 3 days. Medi-Cal = Socialism = depopulation
One nursing home with 25 dead asked the NY state health dept to send their covid cases to the empty Javitts Center of the Navy hospital ship because they had no way to quarantine their covid cases. The State Health Dept said that the nursing home was not allowed to send covid patients to the Javitts Center or the navy hospital ship.
Compare Florida to NY. Fl has a lot of elderly resident and should have been hit very hard. Instead Floida has about 1/20 the deaths of NY on a per capita basis. Fl Gov Desantis focused on protecting the nursing home with national guard rapid action teams if covid was detected in a nursing home.
cuomo has blood on his hands.
