Andrew Cuomo Says He Won’t Support an Independent Investigation Into New York’s COVID Nursing Home Disaster

no shit .. if he was in charge of it he would just shut it down when the fingers start pointing at him .. like last time ..

If they are for it- follow the money
If they are against it- follow the money
I'm sure killing a bunch of old sick people had nothing to do with reducing Medicaid costs in NY.
This is Hitler level shit.
Why haven't we burned the state capital building and sent people to the gallows yet?

FUAC......

He puts Hillary in second place of assholes i dislike.

Why does he even get a vote on the matter?
This is our state and our fellow citizens and loved ones.
Of course in a state that is trying even a tiny bit to look fair and honest he will not have a choice......this was just his opinion.
His action with the nursing homes was one of the most transparently political hit jobs of the entire Covid pandemic nationwide.
I have relatives and friends from Alaska, Arizona and NM who knew the whole story 6 minutes after it broke.
The ENTIRE world knew exactly what Cuomo did within hours......he just isnt sneaky anymore.

I'm sure Herman Goering was opposed to the Nuremberg trials too.

Folks they don’t vote and his approval ratings are so high he doesn’t care. He said it on a news conference no one should be held liable for this so no point in investigations.

He doesn't think he needs to be. That is scary.

The King has spoken!
How dare you question his royal highness!
To the tower with you, execution in the morning!

Lest we forget the Moreland Commission. Dissolved suspiciously right before they got to the good stuff. I'm sure it was purely coincidental.

He said if there is blame..then the blame stops with him.... stops just short of him though

This is probably why.

It's not just Fox Business, even left leaning NPR claims NY Coronavirus counts are manipulated drastic undercounts and likely at least 40% higher than claimed.

If he had any morals, he would recuse himself. The potential target in the investigation shouldn’t be leading the investigation. Feds need to get involved.

Of course the NY state Legislature could investi... oh, never mind.

Missed that, thanks. Useless, all of them.

As @Catskillkid said, this reeks of similarity to the disbanding of the Mooreland Commission. At least Preet Bahrara is out of the picture this time.

I'm very sure this is the last we'll hear of any investigation. NYS Assembly & Senate are both dumbs.

I'm not a fan of Cuomo but this would go nowhere. In late April 2020 the CDC guidelines were for nursing homes to care for their covid infected residents. Cuomo is not a medical expert. His policies were in line with CDC guidance. That's all he has to say.. And its true.

Cuomo's policy wasn't just for nursing homes to care for covid patients. He mandated that nursing homes couldn't require hospitalised nursing home residents be covid free before being allowed to return. If they were able to stay in hospitals where they could be properly isolated until they were clear (instead of the residential setting of a nursing home), the death rate wouldn't have been so astronomical.

Your attached CDC information does not recommend what Cuomo forced upon those now grieving families.

2 charged for handling of virus outbreak at veterans home





Two former leaders of a Massachusetts home for aging veterans where nearly 80 people sickened by the coronavirus died have been criminally charged for their handling of the outbreak, the state's attorney general said Friday.

Former Holyoke Soldiers' Home Superintendent Bennett Walsh and former Medical Director David Clinton were indicted by a grand jury, Attorney General Maura Healey told reporters. Each is charged with 10 counts — five counts of criminal neglect five counts of serious bodily injury.

"We believe this is the first criminal case in the country brought against those involved in nursing homes during the COVID-19 pandemic,” Healey said.


The charges come three months after a scathing independent report said that “utterly baffling” decisions made by Walsh and other administrators allowed the virus to spread there unchecked. The “worst decision” was to combine two locked dementia units, both of which already housed some residents with the virus, said investigators led by former federal prosecutor Mark Pearlstein.

Since March 1, 76 veterans who contracted COVID-19 at the home have died, officials said. The first veteran tested positive March 17. Even though he had shown symptoms for weeks, staff “did nothing to isolate” him until his test came back positive, allowing him to remain with three roommates, wander the unit and spend time in a common room, investigators found.


So when is Andy's ass going to be charged for mandating by executive order infected patience be placed in nursing homes?
