New York Democrat Governor Andrew Cuomo is under fire over his reckless nursing home mandate during the COVID-19 outbreak.
It’s reported over 5,300 nursing home deaths happened in New York due to the virus.
During a COVID-19 press briefing in April, Cuomo was asked about New York State’s March 25 mandate requiring nursing home residents to be readmitted even though they tested positive.
The readmission policy said, “No resident shall be denied readmission or admission to the [nursing home] solely based on a confirmed or suspected diagnosis of COVID-19,” according to Newsday.
Shockingly, Cuomo responded, “That’s a good question, I don’t know.”
Cuomo then looked to the health commissioner for a response.
The New York Post reports (watch video):
Health Commissioner Howard Zucker, to whom Cuomo referred the question, said that under the state’s policy, “if you are positive, you should be admitted back to a nursing home.”
A few days later, Cuomo doubled down on the mandate.
The New York Post reports:
“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.
Cuomo continued the mandate until May 10.
NBC New York reports:
Hospitals cannot release patients to nursing homes in New York unless the patient tests negative for the virus, Cuomo said Sunday. The governor’s announcement is a reversal of sorts from a March order by the state’s health department requiring nursing home to accept recovering patients.
New York State Republican Assemblywoman Nicole Malliotakis called Cuomo out for putting New York’s elderly at risk and highlighted the double standard of Cuomo defending the safety of his mother.
The New York Post reports:
“On March 24th, Gov. Cuomo said, ‘My mother is not expendable, your mother is not expendable,’ and yet the very next day he signed an executive order mandating nursing homes – where our most vulnerable mothers and our most vulnerable fathers reside – to accept COVID positive patients,” Malliotakis told Fox News earlier this week.
New York Republican Representative Elise Stefanik is calling for a federal investigation.
We must protect our most vulnerable. We need answers on the tragedy of nursing homes throughout this pandemic. Families have written to me who have lost both parents in facilities in NYS. Rather than dismiss these concerns like NY, we need answers.https://t.co/OIHzvwtoJs — Elise Stefanik (@EliseStefanik) May 18, 2020
Cuomo’s campaign hit back saying, “We urge Ms. Stefanik to do something we understand is uncomfortable for her: stop political pandering and fear-mongering.”
Even more controversial is news from The Daily Caller investigative group that New York changed the reporting of COVID-19 deaths among nursing home and adult care facilities, confirmed by the New York State Department of Health.
The Daily Caller reports:
But the department made a subtle change to its disclosures beginning around May 3, according to web archives. The NYSDOH told the DCNF its disclosure now only reports coronavirus deaths for long-term care patients that died while physically present at their facility.
Cuomo’s reckless mandate requiring at-risk nursing homes and adult care facilities to take in confirmed or suspected COVID-19 patients is outrageous.
Families are calling for justice to be served and a thorough investigation must be conducted so that Cuomo is held accountable.

It has been an absolute chaotic disaster when @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s in it for me ’ and ‘ to heck with everybody else ’ — when that mind-set is operationalized in our government.
” White House adviser Peter Navarro responded sharply to Obama ’ s criticism of President Trump .
Former Vice President Joe Biden directly criticized President Trump during an interview on MSNBC .

deneenborelli--2020-05-24--Commentary: Cuomo Reveals Character, Passes Buck on NY Elderly Deaths

Facing mounting criticism , New York Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo is lashing out at others to deflect responsibility from over 5,000 nursing home deaths tied to his directive that forced COVID-19 patients into elderly-care facilities .
In recent days , Cuomo blamed others for the COVID-19 deaths including President Trump , the elder care facilities — and shockingly — the elderly themselves .
Because , according to him , “ Older people , vulnerable people , are going to die from this virus.
” Regardles of his desperate political spin , Cuomo owns the tragic consequences of the state ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ elder-care facilities to admit COVID-19 patients .
In fact , the decision to order infected patients into elder-care facilities is analogous to early examples of biological warfare , during which healthy people are purposely exposed to disease carrying victims and clothing .
It ’ s hard to underestimate the stupidity of Cuomo ’ s Health Department decision given what was known early on about COVID-19 and the resultant pandemic .
Global reports have detailed the elderly who , trapped in nursing homes , were the most vulnerable to the virus .
An April @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Silent Massacre ’ in Italy ’ s Nursing Homes , ” describes the devastating impact of COVID-19 on the peninsula and in other countries .
The story mentioned a report by the London School of Economics finding ” .
.

Commentary by Tom Borelli originally posted at Newsmax.com.
Facing mounting criticism, New York Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo is lashing out at others to deflect responsibility from over 5,000 nursing home deaths tied to his directive that forced COVID-19 patients into elderly-care facilities.
In recent days, Cuomo blamed others for the COVID-19 deaths including President Trump, the elder care facilities — and shockingly — the elderly themselves.
Because, according to him, “Older people, vulnerable people, are going to die from this virus.”
Cuomo added, “Despite whatever you do.”
Regardles of his desperate political spin, Cuomo owns the tragic consequences of the state’s reckless March 25 order to force elder-care facilities to admit COVID-19 patients.
In fact, the decision to order infected patients into elder-care facilities is analogous to early examples of biological warfare, during which healthy people are purposely exposed to disease carrying victims and clothing.
It’s hard to underestimate the stupidity of Cuomo’s Health Department decision given what was known early on about COVID-19 and the resultant pandemic.
Global reports have detailed the elderly who, trapped in nursing homes, were the most vulnerable to the virus.
An April 30 Politico.com story, “The ‘Silent Massacre’ in Italy’s Nursing Homes,” describes the devastating impact of COVID-19 on the peninsula and in other countries.
The story mentioned a report by the London School of Economics finding ” . . . in Italy, Spain, France, Ireland and Belgium between 42% and 57% of deaths from the virus,” occurred in elder-care homes.
A study posted on the JAMA (Journal of the American Medical Association) Network on March 23 reported the significant death rate of individuals by age where just over 20% of the deaths in Italy as of March 17 were over 80-years-old and almost 13% for those in the 70 to 79 year old age bracket.
Of significance, Italians under 60 years old had a dramatically lower fatality rate.
Closer to home, a long-term care facility in Washington State was the site of the first hot spot of COVID-19. The Life Care Center in Kirkland, Washington had an epidemic of COVID-19 that ravaged the facility starting at the end of February.
National newspapers including The Washington Post and The New York Times covered the outbreak at the Life Care Center on March 7 and March 21 respectively — both before Cuomo’s nursing home policy was issued.
On March 18, the CDC issued a report on the Life Care Center describing the outbreak in detail and concluded, “The findings in this report suggest that once COVID-19 has been introduced into a long-term care facility, it has the potential to result in high attack rates among residents, staff members and visitors.”
Yet Cuomo and his team ignored worldwide and national data.
Armed with data from Italy and other countries coupled with the information from the Washington State elder-care facility, the logical health response would be to do everything to protect the elderly.
Inexplicably, the state did the opposite and ordered individuals with an extremely contagious disease into facilities packed with the elderly, many of which given the age of the residents would presumably be dealing with chronic diseases making it less likely they could recover from a COVID-19 infection.
While the state’s decree was incredibly foolish, Cuomo’s decision not to immediately reverse it when questioned about it is inexcusable.
During his April 20 press briefing, Cuomo said he didn’t know about the March 25 policy but even if the claim of ignorance was true, he waited until May 10 to end his mandate.
The delay in policy change likely caused more avoidable deaths of the most vulnerable New Yorkers.
Cuomo’s actions to deal with COVID-19 are the exact opposite of his words. In an effort presumably to distinguish himself from President Trump, the governor touted his focus on facts and science to develop his COVID-19 policy.
During his May 4 briefing Cuomo said, “Look at the data. Look at the measurements. Look at the science. Follow the facts. And that’s what we’ve done here from day one. This is no gut instinct. This is look at the data, look at the science, look at the metrics.”
Thousand of families in New York are suffering because Cuomo’s words didn’t match his actions. There was plenty of data available to execute a science-based policy.
Tragically he didn’t.
Cuomo’s effort to deflect blame for his mismanagement of the COVID-19 crisis shows his character is as flawed as his decision making.
