THE CUOMO NURSING HOME SCANDAL--REPORT OBTAINED BY THE POST, NYSBA'S TASK FORCE CUOMO NURSING HOME ORDER CAUSED MORE DEATHS, SHOULD HAVE BEEN REVERSED SOONER

The controversial directive for New York nursing homes to admit COVID-19 patients increased the death toll among residents — and Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s claims otherwise have been disproven, according to a New York State Bar Association report exclusively obtained by The Post.

The 242-page report by the NYSBA’s Task Force on Nursing Homes and Long-Term Care also blasts Cuomo for not reversing the Department of Health’s “unreasonable” mandate sooner than he did, saying it remained in effect weeks longer than necessary.

“Although a determination of the number of additional nursing home deaths is beyond the capacity of the Task Force, there are credible reviews that suggest that the directive, for the approximately six weeks that it was in effect, did lead to some number of additional deaths,” the report says.

“The Department of Health issued a report in 2020 in which it argued unconvincingly that the admission of 6,326 COVID-positive residents during the period the Health directive was in effect had no impact. That cannot be the case, and has now been shown not to be the case.” MORE AT https://nypost.com/2021/06/15/cuomo-nursing-home-order-caused-more-deaths-task-force/
