Andrew Cuomo is worse than you thought

Andrew Cuomo Personally Edited State Report to Hide Nursing-Home Covid Deaths, House Panel Concludes


Former New York governor Andrew Cuomo personally edited a government report that undercounted the Covid deaths that resulted from his March 2020 directive forcing nursing homes to admit coronavirus-positive patients, a congressional panel concluded.

The New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) issued a report in July 2020 faulting nursing homes for the spread of coronavirus in their facilities at the direction of Cuomo administration officials who “heavily edited” the document, the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus pandemic said in a memo released Monday.

“The Cuomo Administration is responsible for recklessly exposing New York’s most vulnerable population to COVID-19. Today’s memo holds Mr. Cuomo and his team accountable for their failures and provides the most detailed and comprehensive accounting of New York’s pandemic-era wrongdoing,” said Representative Brad Wenstrup (R., Ohio), chairman of the subcommittee. The memo is based on almost 555,000 pages of documents and over 50 hours of sworn testimony.
