NY Gov. Cuomo accused of undercounting Covid-19 nursing home deaths

CNN's Brianna Keilar looks into the allegations that New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo's administration undercounted Covid-19 deaths in nursing homes as Cuomo was telling the public that New York's nursing home death toll was lower than most states.

    1. @LiamborninDC but counting the data in this way covers up the fact that nursing homes are to blame for a significant majority of all covid deaths.

    1. @Josh K. In Florida everything is working fine (economy, schools, real estate is booming, etc)… Also, new Yorkers are flocking to Florida like there are no other 49 states, or are New Yorkers so dumb to go to a worse state with worse Governor and closer to Trump? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

    2. @Joe Casella so why was Desantis harrassing the scientist for putting out the real data for covid infections and deaths. I guess you are right wing so you are in denial. Desantis needs to be investigated.

    1. If a average person knowingly and intentionally introduced a deadly virus into a nursing home resulting in the deaths of thousands of people they would be locked away for life and everyone would support it…

    2. @Tyler Street Trump did relise the pandimic thinking it was only in blue states. He needs to be held accountable. He killed more than hitler.

    1. Speaking of Covid, where did the death ticker go? They can’t air the cases and deaths anymore of every minute? Maybe because biden said nothing could be done about the pandemic, after he swore to demolish it? I want to see how many daily cases and deaths he is responsible for! Not fair.

    1. @Bernhard Kulzer Wrong again, its a 98% survival rate. You didn’t hear him closing the pipelines in Pennsylvania after telling them he won’t (thus being already a proven liar)? that was 11k jobs destroyed. We will see if he does or doesn’t go to war. Trump didn’t start a war and you can’t say he did. Only president to step in North Korea and put sanctions against them (although almost every administration had put sanctions on em). Biden willing to talk to our allies meaning the people we are least worried about going to war against he is willing to talk to, hmmm. Cloth masks have been only proven effective when you maintain 6feet and wash yourself. Facts, look it up. I would agree if we all had N-95 masks but we don’t since it is such low supply and needed in our healthcare providers (which I am, I am a Phlebotomist). These cloth masks been proven time and time again it doesn’t stop it unless you follow the 6ft rule and wash. Studies showed that the people w/o masks vs those masks were just as likely to get the virus because it is airborne.

    2. @Bernhard Kulzer How are those numbers in places like California doing? You know – with Democrat governments? They have some of the most hardcore laws in America on masks – and again? How’s that going? How did NY do? Another Democrat gov’t?

      Quit pointing your fingers, little girl. Local government is responsible first, THEN state gov’t, THEN the feds.

      Tell us you knew how this works.

    3. @Corn Filled Screamer You see I don`t point fingers actually. People must change their behaviour. It `s not enough only to stick to the rule when people are watching. You must obey the rules also when nobody controls. In cities like LA there surely are many young people who try to sneak away for partying or simply meeting friend. THey won`t get ill but finally people in their hood will and things like that happen. And with a huge part of Americans still believing masks are a political sign, you even in a blue state have difficulties to bring your numbers down. At these anti-maskers I really point my finger, there you are right!
      And NY – they had living hell on earth. They had war-zone. To me it still is a miracle that they fought that pandemic with such view deaths: You mustn`t forget they started totally unprepared from scratch. They didn`t know anything about the virus and the treatment of Covid patient.
      The feds were responsible for the organizing PPE from abroad. But they let the states compete each other over the small storage of PPE. The Republican governer of Maryland had to fly over personnally to South Korea to organize PPE from them, thanks to his wife! The feds abandoned the states in many regards. And then they also refused to fund the states of which they get all their tax money?
      Really??
      Point is, many states did a good job – when they left politics and got to work, there is no blus or red, the virus kills reagdless of political color, These states did best who ignored politics for a while.

    4. @Kev Plescia
      In the beginning it was 95%. You must calculate the deaths and the ones who survived. And even 2% of a population like the USA fills your hospitals in an eye blink if you don`t slow the infection rate down.
      Trump achieved nothing in North Korea. And what new sanction did he put in place which not already were in place? No, he only got nice fotos and a new buddy.
      And, yes, cloth mask and distance work together. That`ts why I was horrified about the BLM proteests in the beginning. Although they about all wore masks after some time it was still a risk. Then I was also horrified by Trump`s packed rallies without any masks as it seemed. He shuould have known better (and in hindsight he did!) and as a presidient his word had influence but in the wrong way it seems.
      According to the pipeline you mentioned I don`t know details. If it was about fossile fuels, yes, thats a dying business. Global climate change and the fact that we will run out of that shows that this road has a dead end.
      Many of your fears have no basis yet. Biden has had no chance to botch up anything and you already blame him for future failures that even haven`t occured?
      How do you treat trump`s failures? I listened in last January to some Fox News people, Carlson and his friends and thougt: Now did they change their observation of Trump, because the citizised him about his response to the virus and the economy and all that. Then I realized that these comments were made in regard of Obama, years ago. And it was Obama`s Ebola response. They virtually killed Obama and then, January 2020 they let Trump blunder his way through the same problems ithout critizicing at all, they praised him for that poor dealing like they were brain washed. How could that be? That`s insane!

  1. Where’s the “Emmy Winning” banter between brothers now, explaining the who’s going to take the fall for the nursing home murders? NY and the rest of the country is waiting in suspense.

    1. @Braveheart Nope he’s blaming bad communication from administration. I guess he didn’t know the Javits center and the military ship were there to HELP NY! Arrogant a**hole… “ They’re trying to blame us?” No Andrew, not us, YOU…They’re blaming you. Hasn’t Chrissy asked you yet to take responsibility?Sound familiar. Now you wanna share the pat on the back?

  2. They are only showing this now after it has already come out to run clean up. They are literally the last network to cover this so it isn’t even news at this point.

    1. Every public official guilty of misleading the public about this pandemic should be recalled and charged with a crime if warranted. Rule #1 in the public health playbook is to tell the truth.

    1. They give honours such as knighthoods to pedophiles here in England, a bunch of sick twisted fks rule over us.

    1. @SpikersButchers Rebekah Jones was arrested was for manipulating results and falsely reporting increased Covid numbers. She was fired for that and arrested a few weeks later for trying to hack back into the Florida’s health dept computer system from her home PC.

    1. @SpikersButchers Rebekah Jones was arrested was for manipulating results and falsely reporting increased Covid numbers. She was fired for that and arrested a few weeks later for trying to hack back into the Florida’s health dept computer system from her home PC.

    2. @A / V yes and who do you think is saying she’s the liar and had her arrested? She was told to manipulate data and refused.. She said the reason she spoke up is because she doesn’t want more dead people. Why would she lie when she has a family and a lot to lose?

    3. @SpikersButchers News was reporting that she was inflating numbers to make DeSantis look bad. Would love to see anything to the contrary, if you’ve got a link.

    4. @A / V what news? Read yourself your comment. Ask yourself how it sounds. DeSantis is a p.o.s to put it simple. Why would a women with a great career, a family, so much to look forward to do what she did. Then ask yourself why so desperately DeSantis would have the fbi raid her home.

    1. @Carnage2K4 Indeed and if the other states are not reporting by place of death, that is VERY irregular, also not legal. I find it hard to believe.

    2. @Carnage2K4 Umm… because now we know NYC had the highest in nursing home fatality . Those “protocols” are how he did it and how he hid it. P.S. Do you think insults strengthen your argument?

    3. @I believe In you “strengthen my argument”?
      There is no argument, idiots are calling standard protocol a cover-up… That’s just a fact and they say it in the video!
      Thus if you think that… You’re an idiot.

    4. @Carnage2K4 “They say it in the video” THEY also said the Hunter laptop was Russia dis-info. We know Cuomo set “protocol” for sending covid into the nursing homes.
      Once you know they’re lying only an idiot would keep repeating the lies.

  3. And Cuomo even wrote a book teaching “leadership skills”, thus putting $$ directly into his pocket in the middle of this pandemic!

    1. …and don’t forget he gave himself a $25,000 dollar a year rise as he kept businesses closed, and he layed off policemen and police women too!!

    2. as big of a POS he was you can only lay so much of the blame at the federal level for the decisions that were made

    3. @Bryn Carlson LOL What the hell does that have to do with anything? Put your TDS aside and just admit that Cuomo is a killer.

    4. @Bryn Carlson But Trump is on the tip of the tongue of every liberal and probably will be for the next 4 years like it was before the 2016 election. It’s getting really old, and I didn’t vote for him.

    1. Edward Snowden’s books….yup.. Cuomo’s books should be treated as compensation for injuries to our intelligences.

    2. @Bryn Carlson did democrats ever repay the 30+ people who died during blm and Antifa riots last year as democrats encouraged them saying “protests” don’t need to be peaceful?! Shut up dude…

  4. Can’t believe cnn reporting against overconfident Cuomo, little Cuomo brother will take his best shot covering this news.
