New Report Confirms the Obvious: Andrew "Sonny" Cuomo, Hero of the American Propaganda Press, Killed the Elderly by Consigning Them to Death In Nursing Homes That Had No Ability to Quarantine the Sick from the Healthy

The non-partisan think-tank compared deaths at nursing homes which, following Cuomo's orders, permitted covid-infected patients into the nursing homes, and those which didn't.

To a 99% confidence interval, they found Cuomo's policy killed the elderly.

Cuomo's directive to send elderly people with COVID-19 into nursing homes led to a spike in deaths, reports the non-profit Empire Center for Public Policy. The report tied "several hundred and possibly more than 1,000" fatalities to the decision, which was ordered on March 25, 2020 and rescinded less than two months later on May 10th.
"The findings contradict a central conclusion of the state Department of Health’s (DOH) July 6 (2020) report on coronavirus in nursing homes, which said, among other things: 'Admission policies were not a significant factor in nursing home fatalities,’ and ‘the data do not show a consistent relationship between admissions and increased mortality,'" according to a draft report prepared by the Empire Center. Cuomo used the DOH report to dodge responsibility for the deaths since it’s release.
Like Fire in Dry Grass
The DOH report primarily blamed the spread of COVID-19 in nursing homes on infected but asymptomatic staffers and visitors, and has repeatedly been cited by Gov. Andrew Cuomo to deny any responsibility -- even though he himself had warned on March 29, four days after his fateful directive, "Coronavirus in a nursing home is like fire in dry grass." No kidding, Andy. Then why did you do it? Why didn't you stop it sooner? Perhaps because using the USS Comfort, the Jacob Javits Center and the various field hospitals would have handed Trump a media victory?

He wanted the sick out of the hospitals as a sop to his big private hospital lobby donors.

He didn't want to send the sick to Trump's federal facilities, just as this PJ Media reporter Kevin Downey, Jr., suggests, to deny Trump a tiny one-day positive story in the press.

So he murdered them instead.

He didn't want to give Trump credit for keeping the elderly alive, so he chose to kill them, and give Trump the blame for their deaths.

This is psychopathic behavior.

And the media cheered. And some in the media expressed strong sexual interest in this mass murderer.

There's a special place in hell for Cuomo and his fellow governors who did this. There's also a special place in hell for the hospital industry lobbyists that wrote those EOs that the governors then signed.

I don't know if there are more, but there is only one governor that I know of who, when presented with that lobbyist EO, threw it out of his office and refused to sign. That governor was DeSantis and unsurprisingly, Florida - despite its high concentration of elderly and institutionalized elderly - wasn't a killing field like we saw in the North.

They have to do the story to death now (scuse the pun) or let someone take advantage of it later.

It doesn't have a thing to do with Kamala in my opinion. They're picking their target and freezing it (a little) so he doesn't drag the rest of them down. I'm guessing the other governors were more "careful" with their breadcrumbs.

I don't know if the policy was state or Federal, but the field hospitals and ships were explicitly *not* for the 'Vid. They were there to handle overflow of non-COVID patients in case the COVID patients crowded them out of the hospitals. That never happened, anywhere. The hospital capacity crisis that was so feared never manifested (which is why the lockdowns and other shit should have ceased the moment that became clear - it was the reason for all of it).

Even without the field hospitals and navy hospital ships, this was unjustifiable.

93 Families of nursing home patients who died from COVID after Cuomo's directive need to file wrongful death lawsuits against the state. Each dead nursing home patient's survivors should demand millions in punitive damages.

Complete waste of time. Judge will rule that Randy Andy Nipple Rings had no "intention" to harm, plus a pandemic makes all laws moot. Case dismissed.

He didn't want to send the sick to Trump's federal facilities, just as
this PJ Media reporter Kevin Downey, Jr., suggests, to deny Trump a tiny
one-day positive story in the press.

So he murdered them instead.

105 There's a special place in hell for Cuomo and his fellow governors who did this. There's also a special place in hell for the hospital industry lobbyists that wrote those EOs that the governors then signed.

I don't know if there are more, but there is only one governor that I know of who, when presented with that lobbyist EO, threw it out of his office and refused to sign. That governor was DeSantis and unsurprisingly, Florida - despite its high concentration of elderly and institutionalized elderly - wasn't a killing field like we saw in the North.

The most positive possible spin you can put it on is that he was afraid hospitals would get overfilled with victims of the Worst Plague On Earth so he was trying to make room.

But, I mean, everyone knew what would happen if you put a highly contagious virus that kills the elderly into a closed environment with tons of weak elderly. So the whole thing falls apart, particularly when he signed an order making it impossible to sue the nursing homes for deaths from the Wuhan Flu.

141 From the WSJ:
Look closely at a questionable Empire State health-care policy, and you're liable to find the fingerprints of the Greater New York Hospital Association, the hospital and health-system trade group that is one of the most influential forces in New York politics.

A case in point is the state Health Department's directive, issued on March 25, that compelled nursing homes to accept patients who had tested positive for coronavirus. It turns out, as the Journal reported, that this ill-conceived policy was the brainchild of the nonprofit hospital association, which pitched it to Gov. Andrew Cuomo's office shortly before it went into effect. . .

This fatal misstep grew out of a remarkably tight political alliance between the governor and the trade group that has become increasingly bad for the state's health. . .

The reason the ship was such a big deal was 2-fold.

They ran nonstop news stories how Trump was failing and the ship wouldn't be able to get to NY on time. Months late, no doubt.

Then, the somber faced idiots had to report the ship sailing into harbor. Well, no way in fekking hell they were going to use that thing now and give Trump any credit. Honestly, a lot of people need to be kicking at the end of a rope. Same with CA. We got one in LA, and what, 3-5 people went on?

173 There was no real concern for state budget considerations. Hospitals forced into closing to anything other than COVID related or immediate threat of death conditions were bleeding $$, and then losing money on all the nursing home patients to boot.

This was a 30 pieces of silver moment for the AHA. Hospitals are filled with people wanting to help people recover from their maladies. They are run by people increasingly worried only about the bottom line - despite their alleged non-profit status. The hospitals should have their tax favored statuses revoked, and policies which shelter them from competition should be ended.

That doesn't hold up, either. The Army built the Javitz Center field hospital, Samaritan's Purse built the Central Park field hospital, and the Navy a hospital ship. All of those facilities were *explicitly* to handle non-COVID patients if they were forced out of the hospitals by the volume of hospitalized COVID patients or the need to quarantine the hospitals.

178 Wouldn't be shocked if every state that had the initial death surge like New York had the same or similar policy to them. We know that Michigan Pennsylvania and New Jersey did. But I think some other states had the same sort of immediate deaths like them. Even if there wasn't some directive I bet the policy ended up being the same.

Posted by: Buzzion at June 16, 2021 11:42 AM (G2zl5)

179 And then you remember that the Javitz Center pop-up hospital was wide open for patients/hardly used, and Samaritan's Purse set up another pop-up clinic in Central Park (also barely used), and Trump sent that Navy hospital ship to take non-covid patients to make more room in hospitals (and this was barely used).

Cuomo chose to NOT use these resources and instead send them to nursing homes.

204 While I don't doubt Cuomo's receptivity to his hospital owner donor palz was increased by his desire for bribes, the nursing home order was mostly the result of "believing the science" [of nonsense modelers like Neil Ferguson (Imperial College) and COVID ActNow] that basically assumed unstoppable geometric growth was going to kill everyone on the planet in a month or two. Absent those panicky models, there would have been no reason (and possible cover story) for Cuomo's decision.

240 Pravda, though MSM will surpass that in the next decade I bet.

Progressive propaganda is all we hear from the talking heads in what's laughingly referred to as "the news." All of the outlets coordinate to spew the same lies. The incestuous relationships between the 'heads and those in government would even make my inbred cousins in Alabama say, "You gotta be shittin' me."

I call the entire organization PROGDA as a play on those wurdz thingys. It combines the Russkie "nooz" orgs Pravda and Ivestia, who did the exact same thing for decades with everyone in the world knowing exactly what they were trying to do: make people believe in lies. It didn't work well back then and is just embarrassing to still see these days.

Let this phrase "PROGDA" be entered into Volume VI, pg 801, paragraph C, subset 42 of the Ace of Spades HQ Official Style Guide. I'll bring the crayon.

He certainly fell for the conventional wisdom at the time, and felt tremendous pressure to back off his original instinct to reopen on Easter Sunday - which, in retrospect, was a mistake.

That said, he was becoming brutally effective in those press conferences, both slapping back unrelenting media criticism, and showing the public that he was working hard to fix the problem. You know how effective it was when they began to preempt those press conferences with the Governor Cuomo tongue-baths that passed as pressers. In no rational world do you preempt a POTUS press conference with a New York State press conference, and play that one nationwide. That's when you knew that Trump was winning that battle as well.

And the press humiliated themselves at those. Trump's approval was going *up* when he was giving those daily briefings, and the MSM's was falling. Not many people tune in for a press conference normally - only weirdo political types like people here. A whole lot of people saw what we had been seeing for a long time, but they saw it for the first time and during a crisis.

There are many bad things to say about the COVID response and some of Trump's moves, but I am not sure that the daily briefings are among them.

I've had a version of this argument with people even here about the VAERS data. "Just because someone died after getting the jab doesn't mean it was specifically because of the jab".

I think the only person do die with COVID that wasn't counted as a COVID death was George Floyd.

292 Important comparison here to DeSantis. In Florida there is massive push by the hospitals to get nursing home patients out as fast as possible and back into the nursing homes. And the nursing homes are in on it. All of the financial incentives are to get the elderly out of the hospital before they are ready.

I am convinced that this policy contributed to the death of both my parents.

DeSantis stopped that cold and ordered the hospitals to quarantine the elderly COVID patients and not allow them back into the nursing homes. The hospitals fought tooth and nail, but lost. This policy alone is the top reason why the Florida COVID stats are lower than the other big states.

He called the scene "Time to make the donuts," and wanted an emphasis on the banality of evil. And it was.

Now that's a different point. It is likely a bad strategy. The sanitarium model exists for a reason, and using the dedicated special facilities for the 'Vid would have made sense.

But regardless of whether the emergency facility policy was good or bad, the question is irrelevant to this story. Either way, what Cuomo did was unjustifiable and inexecusable.

If I am going to Monday-morning quarterback President Trump, it is that he didn't send in the fucking 82nd Airborne to napalm the fuck out of every antifa and BLM rally in the country.

But then I am told he couldn't, because the military wouldn't obey him.

In which case, I reply, he should have gone national and told the country their cities were burning because the military is staffed with traitors.

I don't know what good it would have done, but it certainly would have been a few extra months of knowing the enemy had taken over the armed forces, rather than indulging the vain hope that they were on our side.

334 So "Sonny" Cuomo the Socialist offed the elderly to benefit his big hospital donors. I "wonder" who else benefited?
I found this on the costs:

"Long-term care in New York, like nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and even home health care, are expensive. The average cost of a nursing home in New York is more than $100,000 per year. Private health insurance policies and Medicare generally do not cover long term care, and very few people purchase private long-term care insurance policies. For New Yorkers needing long-term care, Medicaid is the most common source of funding. In 2011, more than 70% of nursing home residents in New York received Medicaid."

So "several hundred and possibly more than 1,000" is likely up to $70M "saved" from the State budget.
Not that significant in a $111B budget for 2022, but still a nice chunk of cash.
(And note, that does not include other expenses, just the Medicaid for the nursing home itself.)

Actually there's a theory that deaths will be abnormally low because COVID acted like a housecleaning of sorts (no offense intended to anyone who lost someone) taking out elderly and infirm, a number of whom were not going to make it three years.

Then again this may be offset by all the damage of the lockdowns which may just keep the deaths "at level".

363 Something to ponder: Trump was never harmed physically by any of what's been done to him or said about him. Yes the claim is his businesses lost money but can that be verified? Also he did sign his check over as a donation but that can be claimed on his taxes and is minuscule comparatively.

Some of his pals (and who knows how much they were friends) were harassed and a couple put in jail. I'm sure if a case could be made he would've sued the media. And all the impeachments failed. He finished out his term.

Now we have yet to see what they'll try to cook up for him as a citizen but so far I've got doubts they will. If they had any kind of case they would've made it already. His tax returns are a nothing burger as that was gone over thoroughly by IRS agents and his lawyers.

I'm not insinuating anything but it is amazing that they never laid a glove on him except verbally (maybe).

New Jersey is responsible for the funniest "WTAF" tourism ad I have ever heard on the radio. It made a number of points about how great New Jersey is, how you can visit the bar where Springsteen first played (not kidding about that), and about how half of Americans live within a 12-hour drive of beautiful, wonderful New Jersey - so it's great for a weekend getaway.

That latter part is true, but I don't think they actually understand geography because they played this ad in Colorado, which is a two day drive from Beautiful, Wonderful New Jersey...

We pulled into a service station and bro and I told our mom to lock the doors when we got out to ask for directions.

Enormous man with obvious concealed gun comes out of the service station. We ask for directions. He gives them. We repeat them back. He confirms. We then say, "Thank you, sir. We appreciate your help. Have a good day." As we walk back to the car, he called out, "You boys aren't from around here are you? Where are you from?" We reply, "Colorado."

He laughed and said, "Oh, I thought you was from New York. Never mind. Let me give you the *real* directions."
