Cuomo’s Aides Massively Undercounted COVID Nursing Home Deaths in Report
2021-03-06
[THEDAILYBEAST] Aides to New York Gov. Andrew Sonny Cuomo altered a public report on COVID-19 nursing home deaths so that the fatality numbers excluded a huge number of those who died in hospitals, The Wall Street Journal reports. Sources cited by the Journal said Cuomo’s advisers convinced health officials to limit the corpse count to those who had died of the virus in long-term nursing home facilities, excluding all of those who fell sick in such facilities but later passed away in hospitals. The July report consequently showed that only 6,432 nursing home patients died, a figure that represented a massive undercount. The actual corpse count is more than 15,000.

Melissa DeRosa, Cuomo’s top aide, had previously admitted to politicians that the state withheld COVID-19 nursing home death numbers so that the tally could not "be used against us." The governor has been under mounting scrutiny over the state’s nursing home deaths in light of his July 2020 decision to direct nursing homes to accept coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)
...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men...
-positive patients after their discharge from hospital. Federal prosecutors in Brooklyn are said to have shown an interest in the July report. Beth Garvey, a special counsel and senior adviser to Cuomo, told the Journal that "the out-of-facility data was omitted [from the report] after DOH could not confirm it had been adequately verified."
