Cuomo tries to blame Trump for nursing home deaths Cuomo caused

About 6,000 deaths in adult care facilities and nursing homes across New York are squarely the fault of Gov. Cuomo, who ordered patients with COVID-19 to be discharged from the hospital back to the facility from whence they came. In a feeble attempt to deflect blame from himself, Cuomo, [who became governor mainly due to his father's name], is trying to claim that it's all of those unnecessary deaths are President Trump's fault.

No wonder his girlfriend left him--he has no balls.

Cuomo on Saturday doubled down on his state's now-walked back nursing home policy that critics say contributed to thousands of Chinese Communist Wuhan coronavirus deaths and instead blamed the problem on President Trump and his administration, because people on the left are going to believe anything bad that's said regarding Trump and his brother will give him shade on CNN.

"New York followed the president's agency guidance," Cuomo lied Saturday at his press conference. ".... What New York did was follow what the Republican Administration said to do. That's not my attempt to politicize it. [?] It's my attempt to depoliticize it. [And he also has a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you if you believe that nonsense.] So don't criticize the state for following the president's policy."

The policy to which Cuomo refers does not call for coronavirus patients to be sent back to their facilities if they are still testing positive. That decision is on Cuomo and he doesn't have the moral character to admit his huge deadly mistake because he's hoping people will forget it and make him president some day.
The incompetent governor has been under scrutiny from GOP politicians who say he should have never allowed recovering coronavirus patients to leave hospitals and go back to their residential nursing homes to spread the contagious virus. 

What gets me upset is that Trump continues to say positive things about him.
New York leads the nation with the most reported coronavirus nursing home deaths with over 5,000, however, the state changed the method it counts deaths so the numbers of nursing home patient deaths is likely even higher than reported.

Cuomo's response Saturday echoed his past answers, that he was only following guidelines from the Trump administration and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

“This is a political season, I get it,” the lying politician said. “I’m not going to get into the political back-and-forth, but anyone who wants to ask why did the state do that with COVID patients in nursing homes, it’s because the state followed President Trump’s CDC guidance.”

Cuomo added: “They should ask President Trump. I think that will stop the conversation.”

Why not go to the CDC guidelines and see what it says.

For example, the guidelines require newly admitted and readmitted residents with COVID-19  to be placed in a designated COVID-19 care unit. Those discharged from hospital who have met the criteria to have recovered can return to a regular unit in the nursing home. What is Cuomo trying to say?

New York, California and New Jersey, all three states with Democrat governors at the time had specific guidelines saying that nursing homes cannot refuse to take patients from hospitals solely because they have the coronavirus.

After mounting criticism that the policy put the most vulnerable people at risk and contributed to a high number of fatalities, New York quietly walked their policy back on May 10. Now hospitals can only send patients who have tested negative for COVID-19 to nursing homes. Gee, what a great idea.

GOP lawmakers, whose loudest voice is that of Rep. Elise (R-NY)  have requested a federal probe into Cuomo's mindless policy to send recovering coronavirus patients back to nursing homes and related concerns that deaths at the facilities are being knowingly under-counted. 

Is there anything Cuomo won't do to appear that he knows what he's doing?
