New York politicians are voraciously hovering over Governor Andrew Cuomo, like vultures circling a mortally wounded stallion. Mocked as a murderous grandmother governor, Cuomo’s fellow Democrats now attack him for covering up unnecessary coronavirus deaths of frail elderly people.
The great lady of the extreme left is only the last to attack Cuomo, as her political position seems increasingly precarious.
“I support the return of our state to co-egalitarian governance and I defend our local authorities, calling for a thorough investigation of the management of nursing homes by the Cuomo administration during COVID-19,” said Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, DN.Y ., on Friday . “Thousands of vulnerable New Yorkers lost their lives in nursing homes during the pandemic.”
Referring to Cuomo’s chief advisor, Melissa DeRosa (about whom more briefly), the AOC added: “Your loved ones and the public deserve answers and transparency from your elected leadership, and the Secretary’s comments to the Governor justify a thorough investigation. . “
AOC CALLS FOR ‘COMPLETE INVESTIGATION’ OF HANDLING NURSING HOUSES BY CUOMO IN CORONAVIRUS PANDEMICS
Cuomo created the toxic disaster that could send him to Sing Sing:
• On March 25, the Cuomo Department of Health ordered nursing homes (NH) as follows: “No resident should be denied readmission or admission to NH solely on the basis of a confirmed or suspected diagnosis of COVID- 19. “
• Despite relentless calls for coronavirus testing, Cuomo determined that day: “NHs are prohibited from requiring that a hospital resident who is clinically stable be tested for COVID-19 prior to admission or readmission.”
• Cuomo waited until April 30 – the 48th of this national emergency – to ban positive COVID-19 personnel from nursing homes.
The hospital’s lack of capacity explains Cuomo’s edict, even after nursing home administrators viewed body bags.
Corona-positive elderly people could have been quarantined at the 68-bed Samaritan Purses field hospital in Central Park as early as March 28. The 1,000-bed USNS Comfort medical ship and the 2,910-bed pop-up hospital at the Javits Convention Center, both provided by President Donald J. Trump, opened on March 30.
Long before Cuomo shut down his deadly decree on May 10, these underutilized facilities could have treated elderly people until they gave up or overcame COVID-19. After fifteen days, those who were no longer contagious could have gone into nursing homes without putting other people in danger.

But it made a lot of sense. Then, as these elderly people were teeming with lethal microbes, Cuomo forced them straight into the care facilities for the elderly. Unsurprisingly, COVID-negative residents contracted the virus and died.
According to Cuomo, these deaths totaled 8,711.
But that number was a lie.
The Associated Press assumed in May that Cuomo’s underreporting covered up the devastation of his nursing home dictate. Cuomo’s fellow Democrats recently confirmed this and now target the catastrophically inept governor.
Democratic Attorney General Letitia James stepped down on January 28 and took the first bite out of Cuomo’s skin. His 76-page report concluded that data from Cuomo’s nursing home “may have been underestimated by up to 50%”.

Cuomo’s death toll has excluded elderly people who have left asylums and died in medical centers. These false “hospital fatalities” did not blood Cuomo’s hands.
Shortly after James’s devastating discoveries, the Cuomo Health Department finally unrolled the books: COVID-related deaths in nursing homes through January 19 totaled 12,743. That is 46.3 percent higher than the 8,711 that Cuomo claimed earlier.
The Cuomo team also confessed that the 6,327 COVID-19 positive seniors they took from hospitals to senior care centers excluded 2,729 “readmissions” from infected patients who returned to the facilities they came from. This 9,056 count of these individuals is 43.1% higher than the false figure of Cuomo.
“Who cares?” the ice heart Cuomo said on January 29. “He died in a hospital. He died in a nursing home. They died.”

As the New York Post reported, Governor Melissa DeRosa’s secretary told Democratic state lawmakers on a February 10 conference call that the Cuomo team hid deaths in nursing homes because they could reach the Department of Justice and “be used against us.” . “
DeRosa’s smoking gun made the vultures hover over Gotham and Albany.
State Senator Jessica Ramos, D-Queens, wrote via Twitter on February 12 that “Cuomo’s emergency powers must be terminated, he and his administrator must be summoned and a thorough investigation should result in justice for our grieving families.”
Nine members of the Democratic State Assembly on Tuesday demanded that Cuomo lose his emergency powers to govern by decree during the COVID crisis. “It is now unmistakably clear that this governor was involved in an intentional obstruction of justice, as described in Title 18, Chapter 73 of the United States Code,” lawmakers wrote to their colleagues. “This is a necessary first step to start correcting the criminal mistakes of this governor and his administration.”
