'Blood on his hands' - Andrew Cuomo admits forcing COVID-19 patients into nursing homes, refuses to take blame
American Thinker ^ | 05/11/2020 | Monica Showalter

New York's Gov. Andrew Cuomo and his political allies were quick to declare that President Trump had 'blood on his hands' based on the state's failure to prepare supplies for the coronavirus pandemic.

It now comes to light that the bloody hands were Cuomo's.

It's not just that the subways were continuously running packed, or New York City's schools took a long time to shut, or city officials were busy going to the gym, if not encouraging people to attend those Chinatown parades, the better to Get Trump.

The worst of it was from the death toll coming out of New York City's nursing homes, where a disproportionate percent of New York's humongous death toll occurred. Not only were the nursing homes with the city's most vulnerable residents not so much as basically protected, they were positively seeded with COVID-19 patients, rolling in from the hospitals, forced into the homes no matter how much the homes objected, because 'discrimination.' Nursing homes weren't even allowed to ask incoming patients if they were coming back 'stabilized' from the coronavirus units. This, despite President Trump having sent a whole hospital ship to take care of such outbound COVID-19 patients, which stood largely empty. Instead of sending them there, the nursing homes were positively forced to take the COVID-19 patients while the hospitals, knowing what was going to happen, sent along extra body bags with the arriving COVID-19 patients to prepare for the inevitable.

Cuomo, the one who spoke of Trump's hands being bloodied, sleazily denied any knowledge of this horrible, lethal decision, and even argued that protecting nursing homes was "not our job." He mendaciously told critics elsewhere that his forcings were consistent with CDC guidelines. He threatened nursing homes with de-certification if they 'couldn't protect' the resident patients being shoved in with newly arriving COVID-19 patients.

While Cuomo has very publicly professed his love for his 88-year-old mother, even using her safety as justification for his prolonged shutdown, he has no problem killing other people’s moms.

Out of the 21K+ deaths from the virus in New York State, more than 5K have been from nursing homes.

Pearl Harbor American Military killed: 2,300 killed!

9/11 fatalities: 2,996!

Maybe a couple thousand “WRONGFUL DEATH” lawsuits would be appropriate right now.

Sometimes you have to fight these scum bags in a court of law.

Grant used Sfascine not Facem. It has a much more insulting meaning.

He needs to be told many times over that each one of these people was some family’s Matilda.

Yeah, the truth about his incompetent nursing home massacre would sink him in the election. Obamagate is pretty much making Big Mike radioactive. The bullpen is looking awfully thin. Warm up Hillary’s broom.

Quick reminder posted before: Pennsylvania’s Governor “Tommie the Commie” Wolf made the very same edict and it has yet to be rescinded...

What ever happened to the 2,500 bed Jacob Javits Center Field Hospital? It sits there less than half empty

My opinion, and it is just an opinion, is that using the Field Hospital or the ship that was sent, would have made Donald Trump look like he was on top of things and doing the right thing for NYC. Can't have Trump look good about anything, even if it causes mass death. So, these sites stood empty.

They, or "he" (Cuomo) was playing politics with those elderly lives.

He’s droning on about his plan to reopen, another slow walk and hardly any of his “regions” can qualify. Now he has regional control rooms, more government no nothings to micro manage the NON opening.
