“Late last month, New York State Attorney General Letitia James issued a scathing report about how nursing homes in the state handled Covid-19, including a finding that the state's Department of Health undercounted Covid deaths at nursing homes by approximately 50%. While the discrepancy didn't change the overall number of New York Covid-19 deaths, it attributed deaths where a nursing home resident had been transferred to a hospital for treatment to the hospital instead of the nursing home.

This undercount (a term New York State Health Commissioner Dr. Howard Zucker has pushed back on) downplayed the high rates of transmission at nursing homes, at a time when the state mandated that nursing homes re-admit patients with Covid-19 who had been receiving treatment in a hospital, a policy that was reversed a couple of months later.

Last year both the US Department of Justice and New York State legislators issued requests for information about nursing home Covid statistics in New York State, but the Cuomo administration, according to a recent admission by a top Cuomo aide, delayed the release of the figures out of concern about a possible politically motivated federal investigation.

Recriminations over the delay in providing accurate information have begun, with people on both sides of the political aisle demanding accountability from the governor. Luckily, there are a variety of ways in which potential government corruption like this -- whether ultimately it is determined to be an intentional, criminal act, a bureaucratic misstep, or something in between -- can be fully investigated.

If the Cuomo administration failed to provide accurate information to the US Department of Justice as part of a DOJ inquiry -- an allegation the Cuomo administration has denied — the DOJ would have jurisdiction to investigate any false or misleading statements made in the course of those communications, and it is a federal crime to lie to federal officials about any material matter, or to obstruct a DOJ investigation.

Kinda crazy how Cuomo basically covered up thousands of deaths and threatened anyone who tried to report it. Yet it’s barely making any news.

mfers was hyping his covid response up just a few months ago, i ain't forget

His brother is a major figure at CNN, so I'm sure he had an influence on that.

=/=

He took it serious at a time when many other states were not.

And now, he downplayed it. He should not have done that.

We can acknowledge his good, and we can acknowledge his bad. We should acknowledge both.

All because he sat in front of a camera everyday.

Idk how to post the gif but this is the perfect time for the 50 Cent “guilty as f***, he did that s***” gif. Someone post if

you really expect me to believe he took it serious intentionally but preceeded to cover up data months later? that's some extremely inconsistent behavior, it's okay to say you were wrong for giving credit where it wasn't due

I am literally acknowledging in my post that he was inconsistent and he should not have done it

u ok?

He’s garbage by every metric

I thought this was been known

I think he admitted to doing so

We probably will find out that this happened in a lot of states soon enough

If Cuomo doing this, best believe everyone's doing this

Feel like I’m gonna go insane seeing Republicans call this out when they were pretending like deaths were being inflated the whole time

Before this it was considered a right wing conspiracy lmao there’s old threads on here saying it’s not true.

dude blow it don’t cope for him. just because he took it serious doesn’t mean he handled it right, dude killed thousands with his nursing home f*** uo

NJ did it as well. not sure one can be positive other states did the same. they either send old heads back to nursing homes positive or not. NJ and NY the only two to be silly enough to do that in my knowledge

We all should know how this works now.

It's been discovered that there is a cover-up involved. There will be an "investigation" for God knows how long and no one will be held accountable

where the f*** in this post am i saying he handled it right

all i did was say he took it serious when other states werent

Funny, I seem to recall the right wing conspiracy being that COVID was not real.
