Cuomo’s Aides Massively Undercounted COVID Nursing Home Deaths in Report
2021-03-06
[THEDAILYBEAST] Aides to New York Gov. Andrew Sonny Cuomo altered a public report on COVID-19 nursing home deaths so that the fatality numbers excluded a huge number of those who died in hospitals, The Wall Street Journal reports. Sources cited by the Journal said Cuomo’s advisers convinced health officials to limit the corpse count to those who had died of the virus in long-term nursing home facilities, excluding all of those who fell sick in such facilities but later passed away in hospitals. The July report consequently showed that only 6,432 nursing home patients died, a figure that represented a massive undercount. The actual corpse count is more than 15,000.

Melissa DeRosa, Cuomo’s top aide, had previously admitted to politicians that the state withheld COVID-19 nursing home death numbers so that the tally could not "be used against us." The governor has been under mounting scrutiny over the state’s nursing home deaths in light of his July 2020 decision to direct nursing homes to accept 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...
-positive patients after their discharge from hospital. Federal prosecutors in Brooklyn are said to have shown an interest in the July report. Beth Garvey, a special counsel and senior adviser to Cuomo, told the Journal that "the out-of-facility data was omitted [from the report] after DOH could not confirm it had been adequately verified."

#12  Cuomo's been successfully removed from competition for Madame Harris in 2024. Who you think will be the next? Gov. Newsom?

#10  Somewhere there must be a local directive with signatures, or verbal directives that banned the use of these resources. Perhaps those signatures or conversations can be recovered or produced in testimony.

Nope. Never gonna happen.

#9  #7 He should be tarred & feathered before being drawn & quartered.

No argument here. The rest of USA governors following the same nursing home policies [Whitmer (MI), Newsom (CA), Murphy (NJ) Waltz (MN), and Wolf (PA)] as well. Something more special for the Swedish natural herd immunity a$$hole - politicians are politicians, but he's supposed to be an epidemiologist.

#8  #7 How many world policies were based on infection numbers created by this idiot's nursing home policy?

None. You see, what "covid-skeptics" refuse to understand is that death-rate is not constant. If there are more severely sick people than the appropriate medical care available, the "excess" severely sick will all die - in best case scenario. In worst case scenario, friends & relative of the people refused appropriate care burn hospitals = everybody (except the really rich/powerful) die.

#6  I seem to vaguely recall some legislation from a few years ago Grandma Killer was supporting on behalf of the nursing homes or something like that.

Oh, yeah, those necro-nursing homes make lots of dough. In fact, it's been said that administrators do not want to tell next of kin if their loved ones are sick with COVID for fear of moving them out. These vermin hide information from the loved ones for profit. I wish they would hang right next to Grandma Killer.

#5  Using the 1000 bed USNS COMFORT hospital ship and emergency field hospitals which President Trump supplied was totally out of the question. The Democratic Scamdemic needed bodies, lots of bodies.

Somewhere there must be a local directive with signatures, or verbal directives that banned the use of these resources. Perhaps those signatures or conversations can be recovered or produced in testimony.

Lastly, did the nursing homes somehow profit from an influx of sick, elderly people. Who owns these facilities? Who owns the medical conveyances that delivered the sick people to the homes.

Just a couple of questions that might need to be run to ground.

#2  Ahh... but Cuomo has the magic '-D' after his name.

Never underestimate the power of the magic '-D'.

He'll never see a single day in Jail - never mind prison.

#1  Isn't deliberately altering and falsifying government documents a crime? Seems someone is getting a trip to the state pen, if the prosecutors have any guts. Its not Cuomo, because he will throw some underling under that bus to take the hit for him.
