“Who Cares Where They Died? They Died!”

The headline above is a direct quote from New York governor Andrew Cuomo. It was in response to a question bout his nursing home policy that forced nursing homes to take covid patients regardless of whether or not those facilities could segregate or care for those patients.

It has long been suspected that Cuomo has been undercounting covid deaths related to nursing homes. The state Health department changed the way nursing home deaths were recorded shortly after the governor issued his infamous order. A recent investigation by NY Attorney General Leticia James found the deaths have been understated by 50% or more. Instead of 8,711 deaths, the number could actually be 13,000 or higher. James all but said that was due in part to the state changing the way deaths were calculated.

Cuomo, true to form, spent a press conference trying to blame everyone but himself.

Janice Dean, Fox chief meteorologist, who lost both of her in-laws to Covid in nursing homes, wasn’t having any of Andy’s bullsh*t.
