is it not clear why the Cuomo murderers FORCED
the sick into healthy nursing homes?
“I’ll take, ‘he did it for the money, again’, Alex.
Doesn’t necessarily make it legal.
Not a fan of nursing home execs, but if they are forced into taking contagious patients, they shouldn’t be on the hook whether they donated or not.
I’m not too sure how much credence to give to this story coming from that Far-Right-Wing-Rag, the Guardian!

(if the Guardian has turned against him, Cuomo needs to start sweating!)
This isn’t news. It’s been known about for weeks, though the legislature is trying to say that it didn’t know the provision was in there.
The interesting questions are why report on it now, and why in the Guardian.
The scumbag made sure he and they wouldn’t be held responsible before they killed. Does immunity cover these scumbags after they leave thier position in government and business?
Wow.
What a find!
Thanks for posting this.
Once again, the British press doing the job that our sycophant press just refuses to do.
Quid pro Cuomo?
“Nice nursing home you have there...”
'The nursing home industry is one of the lobbying world’s quiet powerhouses. The state actions to protect the industry came after it spent tens of millions of dollars in lobbying and other advocacy per year, according to a POLITICO review of state and federal records. At the federal level, the industry has spent more than $4 million on lobbying over the past year, employing more than a dozen full-time lobbyists and drawing on an army of contractors including Brian Ballard, former lobbyist for President Donald Trump, and ex-Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour, a former Republican National Committee chairman.
In early April, nursing home giant Life Care Centers of America — the multi-state chain whose facility in Kirkland, Washington, was the nation’s first epicenter of coronavirus — hired a team of four former aides to ex-Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.), who was close with Senate leadership, to lobby on Covid-19 issues.
Industry advocates, including the American Health Care Association, which represents nursing homes, argue it would be disastrous for care facilities to be held liable for the deaths of elderly residents, who are far more vulnerable to coronavirus than the rest of the population. They also contend nursing homes have been forced to fight the virus while facing shortages of critical protective gear and testing capabilities because of flawed federal policies over which they have no control. They are also adapting to new federal regulations on the fly.
But lawyers and victims’ advocates point to reports of horrifying neglect and egregious misjudgments by nursing homes across the country that they allege contributed to the deaths of residents, and said that, in many states with weak regulations, the threat of a lawsuit represents a crucial protection for the most vulnerable people.'
Charlie Baker of Massachusetts also had a similar deal worked out if I’m not mistaken.

Democrats demand we have a cure and ask how many deaths are acceptable before opening up and THEN we find Cuomo takes bribes to keep Democrat friends from being sued for basically killing people. This is before we even know what Gavin Newsome and Nancy Pelosi have done. My head is about to explode.
There need to be war crimes trials.
