Cuomo the nursing home killer, rejects independent investigation into NY deaths

It's great to be in power as a governor of a state. You can basically get away with decisions you've made that killed people and maybe even run for President of the United States in the near future.

Enter Andrew Cuomo, the slightly less dumber Cuomo brother, with testicles bigger than pumpkins.

New York Gov. Cuomo said on Monday that "you'd have to be blind" to believe calls for an investigation into the over 6,200 China virus deaths in New York State nursing homes was "not political."

Bigger than pumpkins.

He believes that his incredibly mindless miscalculation, that elderly folks who contracted the coronavirus, must be returned to the nursing home that had sent them to the hospital before the illness had been resolved, is a political move and not a bonehead move by him.

Now the nasal-talking governor said at a press conference that he  “wouldn’t do an investigation” into the nursing home deaths during the coronavirus pandemic in the state of New York.

Because if he did, he would be exposed for the schmuck that he is.

“I wouldn’t do an investigation whether or not it’s political, everybody can make that decision for themselves,” Cuomo said through his nose. “I think you’d have to be blind to realize it’s not political.”

He went on to honk, “Just look at where it comes from and look at the sources and look at their political affiliations and look at who wrote the letter in Congress and look at what publications raise it and what media outward networks raise it.”

He added: “It’s kind of incredible.”

New York State leads the nation in coronavirus deaths and while folks were dying, the idiot governor was appearing on the Comedy News Network (CNN) with his young, dumber brother, Chris "Fredo" Cuomo, to yuck it up and have a good ole time talking about Andrew's big nose and how he's back on the dating scene.

Fredo Cuomo, by the way, contracted coronavirus and left his home when he was supposed to remain in quarantine. Then a week or so later, the cretin emerged from his basement, pretending to have been there for two weeks, proving once again, that he is the dumber Cuomo bro.

Cuomo has blamed “dirty politics” for the accusations he has faced over his order, which he eventually rescinded on May 10. He said it was a “political conspiracy that the deaths in nursing homes were preventable.”

Cuomo got his license to practice armchair medicine at Yahuppets University and a YouTube video.

Rep. Steve Scalise, R-La., who is a leader of a House subcommittee on the COVID crisis, said in a letter to Cuomo last month that “[b]lame-shifting, name-calling and half-baked data manipulations will not make the facts or the questions they raise go away.”

Cuomo spokesman Rich Azzopardi responded, saying: “We’re used to Republicans denying science but now they are screeching about time, space and dates on a calendar to distract from the federal government’s many, many, embarrassing failures. No one is buying it.”

Azz [as his friend calls him] also said that there are 57 genders and anyone who denies that denies the science of the left. He then yelled, "Reclaiming my time!"

New York comes up with an additional 1,700 nursing home deaths

New York now reports that over 1.700 undisclosed COVID-19 deaths occurred in nursing homes, mostly due to the fact that NY Gov. Andrew "I'm Single Now" Cuomo had coronavirus elderly return to their nursing homes and senior living/adult care facilities in the midst of the pandemic. Now the state faces scrutiny over how it failed to protect our most vulnerable.

No less than 4,813 people have died from Chinese Communist Wuhan Wet Market Coronavirus in the state's nursing homes since March 1, according to a tally released by the incompetent Gov. Andrew Cuomo's administration late Monday. For the first time the data includes people believed to have been killed by the coronavirus before their diagnoses could be confirmed by a lab test.

The precise number of nursing home residents who died is unclear despite New York's latest disclosure,  as the list doesn’t include nursing home residents who were transferred to hospitals before dying.

In the above April 17, 2020 photo, a patient is loaded into an ambulance by emergency medical workers outside Cobble Hill Health Center, near Court Street in Brooklyn, New York.

The revised list shows that 22 nursing homes, mostly in New York City and Long Island, have reported at least 40 deaths.

Parker Jewish Institute in Queens and Isabella Geriatric Center — one of New York City’s largest nursing homes with 705 beds — have reported the highest number of deaths: 71 and 64, respectively.

Audrey Waters, a spokeswoman for Isabella Geriatric Center, wrote in an email, "Isabella, like all other nursing homes in New York City, initially had limited access to widespread and consistent in-house testing to quickly diagnose our residents and staff. This hampered our ability to identify those who were infected and asymptomatic, despite our efforts to swiftly separate anyone who presented symptoms.”

In many cases, the state’s new figures reveal many more deaths than previously reported at nursing homes: Isabella Geriatric Center had 13 COVID-19 deaths reported as of May 1, and now reports the deaths of 21 patients who were confirmed to have COVID-19 along with 43 deaths of residents presumed to have COVID-19. And Ozanam Hall of Queens now is reporting a total of 53 deaths, up from just 10.

Several veterans homes have been hard-hit by the virus:  The Long Island State Veterans Home reported 53 deaths, including 48 confirmed and five presumed COVID-19 deaths. The New York State Veterans Home at St. Albans in Queens has reported 33 deaths while New York State Veterans Home at Montrose in Westchester says 22 residents have died.

Cuomo promised on March 2, when only a handful of coronavirus cases had been reported in New York, to make a “special effort” for nursing homes and congregate homes housing senior citizens. He directed nursing homes to screen visitors and consider modifying visiting hours on March 6, which makes no sense at all because the viruses don't own wristwatches.

But Cuomo and his administration screwed up in overseeing and supporting New York’s overwhelmed, state-regulated nursing homes as many have struggled to treat COVID-19 patients or amass enough personal protective gear or ensure adequate staffing.

Advocacy groups for the elderly and family members of nursing home residents have called for greater transparency over COVID-19 cases at each state-regulated nursing home and criticized an April 1 state law granting some immunity to hospitals and nursing homes from civil and criminal liability to protect the administration's incompetency. 

They also questioned the state’s biggest screw up by a March 25 policy that says “no resident shall be denied re-admission or admission to a nursing home solely based on a confirmed or suspected diagnosis of COVID-19."

Brilliant.

The governor and his incompetent administration defended that policy as ensuring nursing home residents that they aren’t left lingering in hospitals to be treated, or have nowhere else to go to die.

Cuomo’s spokesperson tweeted Monday that the policy follows federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services guidance [they are the government and they're here to help].

However, the federal guidance says only that a nursing home “can accept a resident diagnosed with COVID-19” so long as the nursing home can follow federal guidance on transmission precautions. 

This obviously wasn't thought through very well as the spread within nursing homes was faster than a speeding bullet. But Cuomo keeps making myriad TV appearances in the hope that he will finally be considered a presidential candidate in the future.
