Perhaps one of the most egregious violations of the public trust to take place in the last 20 years is the way the media propped New York’s mafia Don, errr, I mean, Governor, Andrew Cuomo, during the beginning of the Covid story.
In an effort to try and build a candidate that would be able to believably beat Trump in 2020, and in line with their constant motive to make Trump the bad guy, the MSM made Cuomo out to be a hero for his ‘response’ to the Covid outbreak in New York.
There is just one problem … they had the story completely backwards. Not only was Cuomo NOT a hero, it is now being revealed that he has the blood of OVER A THOUSAND New Yorkers on his hands. But, hey, anything for some good press, right?
Newsmax is reporting:
‘New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s advisory for nursing homes to accept patients who tested positive for COVID-19 was linked to possibly more than 1,000 additional deaths, according to a government watchdog group.
A scandal has developed surrounding Cuomo’s March 25 advisory as reports have surfaced that the Democrat governor’s administration purposely withheld the true death toll due to COVID-19 in New York nursing homes.
“Statewide, the findings imply that COVID-positive new admissions between late March and early May, which numbered 6,327, were associated with several hundred and possibly more than 1,000 additional resident deaths,” said a report by the Empire Center for Public Policy, per the Washington Examiner.
The governor’s guidance was amended on May 10, when hospitals were informed that only patients who tested negative for COVID-19 could be discharged to nursing homes.
In the initial advisory, nursing homes were prohibited from requiring prospective residents to provide a negative test result as proof that they were coronavirus-free.
“Further, admitting any number of new COVID-positive patients was associated with an average of 4.2 additional deaths per facility,” the Empire Center for Public Policy said.
The report said upstate nursing homes were affected more widely, at least partly due to a relatively low rate of new COVID-19 cases at the time. “Even a single exposure would have had a larger impact on the level of risk,” the report said.’
I personally know at least one of these victims. What I want to see is what ‘the curve’ would have looked like it Cuomo never did this. How many lives could have been saved down the line?
At some point you have to call a spade a spade, and admit that this kind of wanton disregard is closer to murder than negligence. What they hell did he think was going to happen if you put the virus, which is most deadly to the elderly and infirm … in a close facility that houses …. the elderly and infirm?!
You will never convince me that Cuomo did not know what he was doing, never. Now, in another instance of ‘there is no honor among thieves’, the media no longer needs Cuomo, as they have rammed Biden into office, and he finds himself under the preverbal bus.
