A nursing home admin from Staten Island says that he and other facilities’ executives were “petrified” after New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s controversial order that likely accelerated CCP virus outbreaks at their facilities.
The administrator of the Silver Lake Specialized Rehabilitation and Care Center, Michael Kraus, told Fox News that he attempted to alert local officials about the infamous March 25 directive after he was cognizant about it, but that his worries were “shot down” by the authorities.
“Many facilities vocalized it,” Kraus told Fox. “They were petrified, but they were more petrified of the Department of Health … once [my concern] was shot down, I never spoke [about it] again.”
A disclosure of data last month revealed that nearly 15,000 nursing home residents in New York died of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, which causes the disease COVID-19, after people recovering from the infection were released into nursing homes at the beginning of the pandemic. The number is much higher than the 8,500 figure previously made known.
“Prior to the release of the full nursing home data, the Cuomo Administration released misleading statistics regarding the number of deaths in nursing homes. We must come together as New Yorkers and demand that OPWDD be transparent about their conduct during the COVID-19 pandemic,” wrote New York state Sen. Anthony Palumbo in a letter that was co-signed by members of the Mental Health and Disabilities Committees.
One of Cuomo’s top aides reportedly apologized to Democratic legislators for holding back data on the CCP virus deaths in the state’s nursing homes in order to dodge federal prosecution.
The acknowledgment of the reported cover-up was made by Melissa DeRosa, the governor’s secretary, on Feb. 11, during a video conference with Democratic leaders, according to a recording obtained by The New York Post.
Then why did the administrators, when Fedzilla allowed them to refuse, take back the patients?
Every single administrator who took them back should be asked that question.
Under oath.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Says in the article they were terrified of the Health Department. I take that to mean they’d have extra inspections/have their license suspended or other under-handed pressure tactics. So they could refuse and have their facility shut down and their patients sent to facilities that don’t refuse. I think Newsom formally banned resistance in CA - the administrators had no choice.
Yup
These democrat governors deliberately did this to murder elderly people, who have a more white and conservative demogrpahic, and also to make this coid crap appear worse than it actually is by doing this and artificially bumping the cases up by their known-detrimental covid policies.
Not to mention the financial cost.
All those old folks were probably costing the states plenty of money, what with Medicare and SS.
Gotta get rid of the useless eaters somehow.
And, you have the evil entity of Richard Levine, who KNEW what was going to happen and took his own mother out of the nursing home to protect her just before putting all the COVID patients in.
He KNEW what was going to happen or he would not have pulled his own mom out.
That is just evil, evil, evil. Deliberate murder, plain and simple.
WOW, DID NOT KNOW THIS.
Biden HHS nominee moved mother out of care facility as she directed nursing homes to take COVID patients
This is why it didn’t click with me
Didnt realize it was the tranny guy cuz of the Richard reference...
I just follow the science. Levine was born a man, looks like a man, and I’d bet everything I own, has XY DNA.
He can play dress up all he wants, but he is NOT a woman.
One gal a nurse was on mark levin in March
She was horrified and was sounding the alarm
I remember it well because I couldn’t believe anyone could be that stupid or evil
Well. I was wrong as usual about the demons that cat
yup
no one pretending to be the other sex, is the other sex.
man playing woman, or woman playing man
why did the nursing homes not tell him no way... why didnt they refuse and call someone.
there are things worth fighting for..
It scared PA. Sec. of Health enough he pulled his mother out of her nursing home.......watch what THEY do not what they say.
What a travesty.
Like there aren’t enough real crimes and criminals in the world to deal with.
yep
that dad loves his daughter
And not a single administrator had the backbone to stand in the doorway and forbid it. They all obeyed that murderous order like good nazis.
You always have a choice. They were cowards and failed their only duty. “Formally banned resistance”? What a concept. We should have just formally banned the riots too!
Wolf of PA largely flies under the national Media radar because of his soft-spoken manner and his long disappearances between public appearances. You always hear the other 3 governors’ names compared to Cuomo in the conservative media, but you seldom hear Wolf mentioned. And it’s a shame because he might be the shiftiest of the lot.
These 5 governors probably account for 60,000 deaths
Hospitals nationwide shut down elective and non-emergency procedures and we saw nurses dancing in youtube/tiktok/facebook videos because they were bored.
Those hospitals must have been bleeding money but wait, fedgov is giving away $14k per covid death. What to do, what to do.
Hey, where’d the flu go? Oh there’s no flu this year because everyone’s locked down and wearing masks which prevents viruses from spreading. Fauxi saved us from the flu. /s
But covid still spread like wildfire.
Died with covid = died of covid.
500k my arse. Probably more like 100k actual covid deaths or less.
They can give my shot(s) to someone more needy.
I’ll take my chances because I’m selfless like that.
Oh yeah... This freak Levine put his mother up in a hotel complete with visiting nurses. But managed to get confirmed for a federal post anyway. Deep state shuffle, that.
