From the story: “Nursing homes happened to be the place where this
virus ravages, despite the fact that we had the greatest number of cases and we
were in the eye of the storm. You look at us vis-a-vis the country, where we
did better than 33 other states, then those are just facts,” Cuomo said. But
the Cuomo administration has knowingly omitted an unknown number of
deaths from its official figures on coronavirus deaths in nursing homes, the
administration acknowledged earlier in May following a Daily Caller News
Foundation investigation (Daily Caller).
Turns out, Michigan Governor
Whitmer also forced nursing homes to take infected patients, and refuses to
disclose nursing home deaths (Twitter).
From Rich Lowry: The same
people who accuse anyone who has been pushing for re-opening as wanting to
“kill our grandparents” should be outraged over these perverse nursing home
policies But they get very little attention, as the media obsesses over beaches
and people not wearing masks outdoors (Twitter).
Avik Roy points out “in the 39
states that currently report such figures, an astounding 43% of all COVID-19
deaths have taken place in nursing homes and assisted living facilities”
(Forbes).
