Former New York Governor Cuomo is finally being held accountable for his actions and directives during the COVID crisis starting in 2020.
Yaacov Apelbaum at the Illustrated Primer shared that these New York politicians were accountable for thousands of nursing home deaths because of their insane directives related to the China coronavirus.
Apelbaum first pointed out the ludicrous directive from New York's Department of Health, including: During this global health emergency, all NHs must comply with the expedited receipt of residents returning from hospitals to NHs. and: No resident shall be denied re-admission or admission to the NH solely based on a confirmed or suspected diagnosis of COVID-19.
As we reported in 2020, the reason for the Cuomo's insane directives was related to money: In 2018, as Governor Andrew Cuomo faced a challenge to his reelection bid in the New York State Democratic primary, he got a last minute $1m cash infusion from the General New York Hospital Association-a powerful NY healthcare industry group.
On April 2, 2020, he repaid the favor when he quietly signed legislation shielding hospital and nursing home executives from any lawsuits stemming from the coronavirus outbreak.
The clauses, inserted into the annual budget bill by Cuomo, gave blanket immunity protections for healthcare industry executive and administrators, the same individuals and institutions that have made a fortune moving sick Covid-19 patients to nursing homes.
Governor Cuomo returned the favor with his directive forcing COVID-19 patients back into elderly homes.
