New Reports Say Number Of NY Nursing Home Deaths Much Higher Than Reported

Linkedin Share

A brand new report has hit the news cycle, and it’s not at all good news for New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo. The report alleges that the number of folks who died at nursing homes of the coronavirus, which were mostly due to horrific policy decisions by Cuomo himself, are much higher than first reported.

Cuomo has taken a lot of heat for his mishandling of the COVID-19 pandemic and for decisions that led to the deaths of thousands of at-risk individuals in nursing home facilities.

The left has been attempting to spin the situation and make Cuomo out to be some sort of hero, but nobody is buying that garbage.

Check out the details from The Daily Wire:

“New York’s coronavirus death toll in nursing homes, already among the highest in the nation, could actually be a significant undercount,” the Associated Press reported. “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.”

According to the AP, on paper, the nursing home only reported a total of four deaths from the coronavirus out of its nearly 150-bed facility. However, the true number is 21 dead, most of whom were transported out of the facility and to hospitals before they died.

“That statistic that could add thousands to the state’s official care home death toll of just over 6,600,” the AP continued. “But so far the administration of Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo has refused to divulge the number, leading to speculation the state is manipulating the figures to make it appear it is doing a better than other states and to make a tragic situation less dire.”

Keep in mind that New York City became a hot bed for COVID-19 infections, which then spread throughout the country as folks traveled across the nation and seeded other outbreaks in other places.

Gee, how nice of them to share. Insert eye roll here.

The AP’s report was published aver Cuomo was asked on Monday if he would be in favor of an independent investigation into what happened with the nursing home situation. He said no.

“No, I wouldn’t do an investigation whether or not it’s political, everybody can make that decision for themselves,” Cuomo responded. “I think you’d have to be blind to realize it’s not political. Just look at where it comes from and look at the sources and look at their political affiliations and look at who wrote the letter in Congress and look at what publications raise it and what media outward networks raise it. It’s kind of incredible.”

At the end of the day, Cuomo needs to be held accountable for the deaths his state experienced in the nursing home debacle, especially since many of these would have been prevented had he made better decisions. He alone is responsible for these deaths. An investigation needs to be done and proper actions against him taken.

The families who lost loved ones because of him deserve some sort of closure and recompense for what happened to them.
