Gov. Cuomo was lavished with praise by the media during the COVID crisis. He authored a self-congratulatory book in October. He won an emmy for his coronavirus press conferences – all while covering up the deaths of thousands due to his administration’s incompetence.
Now, New Yorkers are learning how Cuomo betrayed their trust.
In total, more than 12,000 people died in New York nursing homes under Cuomo’s failed leadership.
Families of dead seniors who seek legal accountability may also face hardships, thanks to Cuomo. According to the New York Times, “The attorney general’s report also scrutinized immunity provisions granted to health care providers codified by Mr. Cuomo in the state budget. The report said the protection of immunity may have prompted some nursing homes to make financially motivated decisions at the height of the pandemic, like admitting patients even when the facilities were facing staff shortages or were unequipped to care for them.”
