throwaway292893··on Cuomo Aides Spent Months Hiding Nursing Home Death Toll
> and many of them got sick and died because of it.

Source of people dying due to lack of PPE?

As I understand it, there was always a low supply, not no supply.

Other states managed to supply their nursing homes just fine.

Seems like rationalization. Cuomo never came out and said this was caused by lack of PPE.

Unless you have a source that they weren't able to equip their nursing homes due to supply issues you are assuming.

45 other states found ways to safely handle this scenario.

Either properly supply your nursing homes with PPE or bring the nursing home staff to the hospitals.

The people I named are Democrats, I don't see this as a partisan thing. It's a humanity thing. I'm simply answering your questions of who blew the whistle and how we found out about it.

The point is those ships were under capacity the whole time.

Send more non-covid patients to them, keep elderly patients in the hospitals. New York never reached full capacity overall.

If you MUST send covid patients to nursing homes, make sure they are prepared with PPE.

Other states did so, Cuomo and the 5 other governors should have known to do so. We already had outbreaks in a nursing home that everyone was aware of.

We heard about it from the New York AG. The coverup was confirmed by his top aide, Melissa DeRosa.

There was a hospital ship he could have used, it only had 179 patients over 3 weeks. There were hospitals made that never reached full capacity. Hell, setup a tent. You're saying the only option was to infect and kill 15,000 people?

The early days of the pandemic the first outbreak was in a nursing home in Washington.

That was when we were still counting the first hundred and contact tracing.

The people running the homes dissented against it. He still did it.

It doesn't take a genius to know you will infect elderly people by sending a highly contagious disease into their facility.

The cover up is beyond despicable, but the original action is indefensible.

The nursing home scandal was known long before. The sex scandal seemed to be used to cover that up. His top aide, Melissa DeRosa, has admitted to covering up the nursing home deaths. People have come out saying he was intimidating them. He is under Federal investigation. What part of it is a conspiracy theory?

He knowingly sent people with covid into nursing homes against the will of the people running them, even though that's how the first major outbreak happened in Washington state. He then covered it all up by trying to attribute the deaths to hospitals. Then stonewalled the Feds asking for information about those deaths. His aide admitted to it. He should be in jail. He killed at least 15,000 people as a direct result of his orders.

I just hope they investigate the other 5 governors that sent the people with covid back into nursing homes.

They should have all known. This is how it all started, it seems deliberate. Cover-up or not, they are all either dangerously incompetent or malicious.

That's where the user preference setting comes in.

Users voted with their wallet and bought a Roku, then explicitly defined their preference in the settings.

Google then says fuck you, no.
