Hes been lying about his failure that cost many lives from day one.
His Nursing Home Death Undercount
The Associated Press finally noticed Andrew Cuomo’s shell game. On Tuesday, the AP ran a report titled, “New York’s true nursing home death toll cloaked in secrecy.” If only someone had noticed before now.
Riverdale Nursing Home in the Bronx appears, on paper, to have escaped the worst of the coronavirus pandemic, with an official state count of just four deaths in its 146-bed facility.
The truth, according to the home, is far worse: 21 dead, most transported to hospitals before they succumbed.
“It was a cascading effect,” administrator Emil Fuzayov recalled. “One after the other.”
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.
The AP report says that federal regulators began requiring reports of nursing home deaths from COVID-19 in May that include residents who later died after transport to a hospital. This requirement came after the peak of cases and deaths in New York, allowing Cuomo to dodge a bullet.
Of course, PJ Media’s Matt Margolis has written extensively about Andrew Cuomo’s cover-ups, lies, and culpability around the massive number of nursing home residents who died of coronavirus unnecessarily. Two weeks ago, he wrote
