New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s void of leadership and compassion is responsible for many deaths of elderly people in nursing homes, said Vivian Zayas on Thursday after losing her mother in a nursing home due to COVID-19. .
Zayas told Fox & Friends that “his mother’s facility has continued to report that there have been only 40 deaths in the last 10 months.”
However, Zayas said that people knew that “it was incorrect”.
“Families have always known,” said Zayas. “So when the numbers came out through the New York report, now your facility is reporting 70, so it’s an increase of more than 40 percent.”

The FBI and the US Attorney’s Office in Brooklyn have started an investigation into how the administration of New York Governor Andrew Cuomo handled the nursing home crisis during the coronavirus pandemic, according to a report on Wednesday.
The investigation is not yet well underway and focuses on key members of the Cuomo coronavirus task force, the Albany Times-Union reported, citing a source with direct knowledge of the matter. Neither Cuomo nor any administration official has so far been charged with any wrongdoing.
Members of Cuomo’s task force include New York State Health Commissioner Howard Zucker and Governor Melissa DeRosa’s secretary. The latter was examined this month after apparently admitting that the governor’s team concealed information related to COVID-19-related deaths in nursing homes.
The leaks only confirmed what everyone “knew all along” that “was hiding” coronavirus deaths.
“They have been playing political football with our veterans,” said Zayas.
