Fauci praised NY's response to COVID-19: ‘They did it correctly’

[anatta]

Last month, New York Attorney General Letitia James said nursing home COVID-19 deaths in the state were undercounted by as much as 50%. And things escalated Thursday after a report that a top aide to Cuomo told leading state Democratic lawmakers that the administration had withheld data on COVID-19 deaths at nursing homes to avoid federal scrutiny.

FLASHBACK: FAUCI PRAISES NEW YORK'S CORONAVIRUS RESPONSE: 'THEY DID IT CORRECTLY'

Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases who advised then-President Donald Trump and now advises President Joe Biden, in July said many parts of the United States did not do enough to combat the novel coronavirus, but he said New York did.

"We've got to do the things that are very clear that we need to do to turn this around," Fauci told "PBS NewsHour" in July. "Remember, we can do it. We know that when you do it properly, you bring down those cases. We've done it. We've done it in New York."

"New York got hit worse than any place in the world. And they did it correctly by doing the things that you're talking about," Fauci added.

But last year, Cuomo directed nursing homes in the state to accept patients who had or were suspected of having COVID-19. The decision created an onslaught of COVID-19 cases that infected thousands of elderly patients and resulted in hundreds of deaths among the state's most vulnerable population.

James said the state Department of Health underreported coronavirus deaths in nursing homes by as much as 50%, according to a new report, which revealed that as of Jan. 27, 2021, there were 5,597 confirmed deaths due to COVID-19 in nursing homes and an additional 2,783 presumed deaths. In assisted care facilities, there were 160 deaths and 52 presumed deaths.

So, Fauci's an idiot. What's new about that?

[anatta]

so WTF does Biden do? Make him chief medical adviser!!

Biden is soooo clueless

[Concart]

No matter how hard you try, you will not deflect attention from the disastrous response by the Trump Administration. Everyone made mistakes, especially early on. Trump quit on the American people, and as a result, tens, maybe hundreds of thousands of lives have been lost. We voted his ass out. DeSantis is next on my list. If the people of New York decide they don't like Cuomos response, they can deal with him at the ballot box. Just like we did with your God.

Of course he did. He's a political hack, loyal to the DEMOCRAT Party, not science™.

Trump should have replaced him a year ago.

I doubt the Cuomo dynasty is worried.

NY had some of the toughest circumstances - after some initial mistakes, they were leading the nation by summer in terms of limiting the spread.

Except he never told you to ignore COVID-19, unless it was in your dreams.

There was no "federal guidance " to put COVID patients back in nursing homes.
Trump even sent the USS Comfort to NY, and Cuomo didnt even bother to use it
