JOURNAL NEWS: NY MISHANDLED COVID IN NURSING HOME AMID ILL PREPARED HEALTH DEPT. FAILINGS: REPORT
COVID-19 ravaged New York nursing homes as the state Health Department failed to properly track coronavirus outbreaks in the facilities and helped former Gov. Andrew Cuomo's administration mislead the public about the crisis, a new state report says.
Those are among the findings of a state Comptroller's Office audit of the state government's pandemic response in long-term care facilities.
The 58-page report detailed how the state's top public health agency was ill-prepared to handle the massive scope of COVID-19 infections in nursing homes, while its leadership seemingly acquiesced to the Cuomo administration's attempts to downplay the death count by up to 50%.
More than 15,000 nursing home residents have died due to COVID-19. MORE FROM THE JOURNAL NEWS AT https://www.lohud.com/story/news/coronavirus/2022/03/16/new-york-health-department-failings-fueled-covid-toll-nursing-homes/7059615001/

CUOMO HAS BEEN VINDICATED
AND
Andrew Cuomo vindicated? Only in his delirious, dirty mind By Maureen Callahan February 7, 2022 | 4:09pm
It’s the blink of an eye since Andrew Cuomo resigned — yet for Cuomo himself, the five months since his forced resignation is clearly a lifetime. Wouldn’t you know: He’s gone from #MeToo scourge to political martyr.
“I never resigned because I did something wrong,” Cuomo told Bloomberg News. “I said I’m resigning because I don’t want to be a distraction,” adding the dubious, data-free self-report that he’s been “vindicated.”
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: We are living in a horror movie where no monster is ever slain. They just keep popping back up like the soulless zombies they are, trying to terrorize us into submission.’
It's no surprise Cuomo wants elected office again. It’s all he’s been bred to do. What else is there — lobbying? Sure, but that’s not what Andrew Cuomo’s about.
He’s only about power — always has been. Amassing it, wielding it,
bullying with it, using it to harass and demean women in his employ, and
forcing over 10,000 elderly nursing home residents to their certain
COVID deaths while accepting an Emmy and a $5 million book deal as the
face of COVID leadership. MORE AT https://nypost.com/2022/02/07/andrew-cuomo-vindicated-only-in-his-delirious-dirty-mind/
