The office of New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo refused to say what it told the Department of Justice regarding CCP virus outbreaks in nursing homes, in part because the disclosure would be an "Invasion of personal privacy."
The DOJ sent requests to several states last year concerning statistics on deaths and infection in nursing homes from the CCP virus, commonly known as the novel coronavirus.
The initial request was expanded in December following news reports that the state's nursing home numbers were significantly undercounted.
Cuomo has been cooperating with the DOJ since last year, but his office declined a request from The Associated Press for copies of what was provided to the federal authorities.
It included information on deaths in state-run veterans homes and nursing homes run by counties.
In January, after a critical report by state Attorney General Letitia James, Cuomo's office revealed that thousands more nursing home residents had died of COVID-19 than the state had previously reported.
In its document requests, the Justice Department asked for the number of residents, staff, and visitors who contracted COVID-19 or died of the virus and the number of people admitted to each nursing home after being treated for COVID-19 at a hospital.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
