Without Democrat governors, COVID-19 deaths would be less than last year's  flu season. - Imgflip

Top aides to Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo were alarmed: A report written by state health officials had just landed, and it included a count of how many nursing home residents in New York had died in the pandemic.

The number — more than 9,000 by that point in June — was not public, and the governor’s most senior aides wanted to keep it that way. They rewrote the report to take it out, according to interviews and documents reviewed by The New York Times.

The extraordinary intervention, which came just as Mr. Cuomo was starting to write a book on his pandemic achievements, was the earliest act yet known in what critics have called a monthslong effort by the governor and his aides to obscure the full scope of nursing home deaths.

After the state attorney general revealed earlier this year that thousands of deaths of nursing home residents had been undercounted, Mr. Cuomo finally released the complete data, saying he had withheld it out of concern that the Trump administration might pursue a politically motivated inquiry into the state’s handling of the outbreak in nursing homes.

But Mr. Cuomo and his aides actually began concealing the numbers months earlier, as his aides were battling their own top health officials, and well before requests for data arrived from federal authorities, according to documents and interviews with six people with direct knowledge of the discussions, who requested anonymity to describe the closed-door debates.

  • He is not the only one doing this!

  • And every one of them should be arrested, charged, and convicted of homicide times several thousand counts each. Afterward, just take them out and put a bullet in their brain pan.  Justice served ......

  • that's the Democratic party for you they know exactly what the virus is going to do and it's Demonic so is the party.

  • A morally bankrupt party has no right governing a free people. That's why they had to rig the election. Thry know we know. Now they MUST CRUSH US with the reigns of GOVERNMENT POWER they STOLE from us...............FOREVER!!!!

  • A financial aspect needs to be investigated for these atrocities - was someone paid off or was there a financial incentive for the state to kill these people (Medicare, Medicade, etc). The Nazi's did this kind of thing to save costs on their health care system in the 30's and 40's - not to mention what they did to those in the concentration camps. Hang these people for these attrocities - they knew they were shoving these elderly into the nursing homes like the gas chambers of the Nazi's. These governors were just being good little Facists - showing the logical progression of what the state will become under socialism. So disgusting. 

  • Andrew Cuomo and others' whose irresponsible actions resulted in thousands of covid-19 deaths of New York nursing home residents must be charged with manslaughter.

  • Forgiveness for the Royal Family of New York. He should be facing charges for crimes against humanity and jailed.

  • Who are the real criminals and the courts do nothing.

    • that's my question and where is the supreme court on this?
