CUOMO, NURSING HOME SCANDAL, OCTOBER UPDATE WITH SEPTEMBER LINKS

NY POST---A silver casket was wheeled to the front of a Brooklyn nursing home Sunday — and 6,500 copies of the cover of Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s new book were dumped into it in protest of his COVID-19 policies.

The number of covers was equal to the roughly 6,500 people who have been reported killed by the coronavirus in nursing homes in the state — although the ralliers said they believe the figure is much higher.  READ MORE AT https://nypost.com/2020/10/18/casket-outside-brooklyn-nursing-home-filled-with-cuomo-book-covers/

SEPTEMBER BACKGROUND

The state Health Department would finally have to reveal how many nursing home residents died of COVID-19 after being sent to hospitals, under a pair of bills introduced in the state Senate on Thursday.

Separate pieces of legislation from both sides of the aisle aim to close a loophole through which only fatalities that actually take place in nursing homes are listed on the DOH website. MORE AT https://nypost.com/2020/09/24/pols-seek-accounting-of-covid-19-nursing-home-deaths-under-cuomo/

**************AND

Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s Health Department has no shame — not over its deadly March 25 order forcing nursing homes to admit COVID-positive patients, and not in stonewalling anyone looking to learn how many lives that mandate cost.

The latest is its laughable excuse for dodging a Freedom of Information Law request from the Empire Center, filed early last month. It sought the number of nursing-home residents who died of the coronavirus after being transferred to hospitals, numbers the state stopped releasing in May.

The department response this week: It can’t comply until at least Nov. 5, “because a diligent search for relevant documents is still being conducted.”  READ MORE AT https://nypost.com/2020/09/02/team-cuomos-latest-ridiculous-nursing-home-death-dodge/
