Cuomo rejects independent investigation of nursing home coronavirus deaths as political
2020-08-11
[FOXNEWS] New York Gov. Andrew Sonny Cuomo on Monday said "you’d have to be blind" to think calls to further calls to investigate the coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)
...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men...
deaths linked to state nursing homes amid the pandemic are "not political."Cuomo, during a presser Monday, said he "wouldn’t do an investigation" into the nursing home deaths during the coronavirus pandemic in the state of New York.

"I wouldn’t do an investigation whether or not it’s political, everybody can make that decision for themselves," Cuomo said. "I think you’d have to be blind to realize it’s not political."

He went on to say, "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."

Janice Dean: Cuomo administration doesn't want my voice heard on NY nursing home murders deaths

[FoxNews] Fox News senior meteorologist Janice Dean, who recently lost her elderly in-laws to COVID-19, told the “Brian Kilmeade Show” on Monday that she was taken off the list to testify at a hearing geared toward understanding why and how the pandemic took root in New York nursing homes.

She said she believes New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo or his administration were behind the decision.

In a statement sent to Fox News Senate Majority Communications Director Mike Murphy said, "There are so many families that suffered because of this awful pandemic.

“We had so many brave families that wanted to share their heartbreaking stories including the ones that testified today and at last week’s hearing,” he continued. “As was made clear if you couldn’t testify in person we will accept all written testimony to be part of the written record.”

#7  New York’s true nursing home death toll cloaked in secrecy
New York’s coronavirus death toll in nursing homes, already among the highest in the nation, could actually be a significant undercount. 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.

That statistic could add thousands to the state’s official care home death toll of just over 6,600. 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 better than other states and to make a tragic situation less dire.

How big a difference could it make? Since May, federal regulators have required nursing homes to submit data on coronavirus deaths each week, whether or not residents died in the facility or at a hospital. Because the requirement came after the height of New York’s outbreak, the available data is relatively small. According to the federal data, roughly a fifth of the state’s homes reported resident deaths from early June to mid July — a tally of 323 dead, 65 percent higher than the state’s count of 195 during that time period.

#5  Political? Like when you blamed Orange Man Bad for lack of response then wasted the USN hospital ship, the Javits Center Hospital and all those respirators? You're a lying punk Sonny Boy.

Feds should do the investigation. Cum-ho won't
