Cuomo’s COVID-19 Panic Killed
Thousands In Nursing Homes

Original Article

In New York, 5% of the seniors living in nursing homes have died from COVID-19. In Florida, the disease has claimed less than 0.6% of those in nursing homes. What explains the vast difference in death rates among this vulnerable population? New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo panicked about COVID-19, while Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis did not. Over the weekend, Democrat Cuomo announced that nursing homes would no longer have to accept patients discharged from hospitals who were COVID-19 positive. Which leads to a question: Why in the world were they required to do so before? The reason was that Cuomo was panicked about hospitals being overrun. So to clear beds,

Thats ok. He'll just do what New Yorkers always do. Tax them more, take away their guns and invade neighboring states to bring cosmopolitan sophistication to all us rubes. He wont lose a lick of sleep.

The fact is Wolf here in PA did the same. Do you suppose it is a mental deficiency of the left that leaves them without common sense? What else could explain this kind of insane thinking? Let me see, let's put your grandmother in a nice nursing home and then bring COVID-19 patients into the home to live with her. Yeah that sounds like a great idea. Who besides a deranged leftist would think so?

Panic or intentional? You be the judge. Something smells here. When two federal facilities were NOT utilized (USNS Comfort and pop up) by the sick elderly. The Governor's regulations required the elderly with COVID-19 be returned to a confined facility (nursing homes) where this virus spread to other residents with already compromised health. Most of these nursing homes were not equipped with trained personnel and they were not equipped with the necessary PPE. However, NY did provide the nursing homes with body bags. This almost reminds me of an extermination process. Most of these elderly victims were on Medicaid. This is a one way to get rid of an expense to the state. Call me a conspiracy nut, but something smells. The same happened in PA, NJ, CT that used the same regulations as NY.

I suspect the death toll in NYC will not effect voter turn out in November. A dead voter is a reliable voter.

Why was the Javits Center turned into a hospital and why was the USS Comfort ship sent to NY? In my opinion, this is all about money. The nursing homes get money for every patient sent to them--much of it from Medicare and Medicaid. Unfortunately, I think Medicare is also partly to blame. They pay for 90 days of "rehab" after hospital discharge. "Rehab" is a euphemism for nursing home.

Governor Cuomo made a colossal error and will pay the price for it. He should have used the available facility at the Javits Center, that they turned into a hospital. I have a theory about the Corona virus. Back is February I remember reading that many Chinese in Wuhan saying they thought the virus was coming from the pipes. Immediately, I thought, the water pipes? No, that's not what they meant. They were talking about air ducts and vents. Anyone in an institution or where the air is recirculated could be a breeding ground and transmitter for this virus, such as aircraft, hospitals, prisons, nursing homes, assisted living complexes, cruise ships, movie theaters, schools, and tight living quarters where people live many to a household, as ion the reservations of many native Americans and with immigrant families. How many people who work in construction, drive trucks, do delivery, movers, landscaping that are not tightly connected to others have succumbed to this virus? I would like to see a statistic on that. The panic over opening the beach or going for a walk with your dog was absolutely ridiculous. Social distancing, washing hands often and wearing masks when in close proximity to others are all good practices. If we adhere to those practices, there's no reason why we can't open up the economy. Those who are at risk, mainly seniors and the ill, should shelter at home or be strictly quarantined. Let's use common sense and get back to work.

Cuomo was doing anything and everything he could to avoid being in any kind of gratitude to Trump. Which meant not using the ship in the harbor, to ordering nursing homes to take live viral patients back into the residences. It wasn't just elderly, this also happened to people in some of the rehab after surgery centers too. Cuomo needs to face the angry families of those he willfully infected and killed. This state along with the nation needs to start seeing justice happening, not just what pleases the media.

#9, nowhere in the medicare book can I find where they will pay for nursing home care (rehab) for 90 days. If one is on medicaid it may be done, but not medicare. But to qualify for medicaid one must be poor, near poverty.

I remember when this first came out, we had medical 'experts' saying we don't have the resources and we should not treat anyone over 60. Just because some 'expert' says to do something doesn't mean we should. Maybe they did this in other countries, but that doesn't mean we should do it here in the United States. When our leaders do not think, that is when they end up following crackpots making decisions like this. What happened is criminal incompetence. IT IS QUITE CLEAR THAT ANDREW CUOMO IS INCAPABLE OF CRITICAL THINKING, AND AT THE VERY LEAST, NOT COMPETENT ENOUGH TO BE GOVERNOR OF NEW YORK.

Last summer, fed up with Democrats’ claim that theirs is the “Party of Science,” we pointed out that it is in reality the Party of Science Fiction. We hope others have had their fill, too, and public opinion will force the Democrats to grow up. “Science” is never invoked by the political left to illuminate, educate, or guide. It’s used to terminate discussion, to shut down debate. It’s employed in exactly the same way “racist” has been used for decades.

We are hard-pressed to identify a single redeeming feature in the 600-page “stimulus” bill that has now passed the Senate and House on a strict party-line vote. You’ve got to hand it to AOC and Bernie. These nutcases actually pulled it off! Some of our friends point to the dollars for vaccine distribution. We don’t object to that, though if we simply let the private sector handle the vaccine program, odds are it would happen faster. The other $1.7 trillion is negative for the economy and jobs. There is nothing in this bill that stimulates the supply side of the economy -- i.e., the production of goods and services.

After all, legislation this awful can’t get passed by both chambers of Congress and signed into law, right? But all Americans should take it seriously. It’s an attempt to take away your right to vote and create permanent Democratic control of the federal government. Yes, elections have consequences, and terrible bills like this certainly prove that.

President Joe Biden wasn’t too happy when Texas and Mississippi decided to reopen their economies and liberate their people from statewide mask mandates, calling it “Neanderthal thinking.” But wait a minute, who’s following the science here, and who isn’t? While Biden is clearly in love with the idea of the government forcing Americans to wear masks and keeping heavy restrictions on businesses, the science is piling up showing that these measures are not very effective, if they are at all. One Swiss group, for example, found 10 studies challenging the effectiveness of masks. One is a Danish review that compared

It was clear during the 2020 presidential campaign that Joe Biden was a man in decline. Yet the Democrats ran him as their candidate anyway. Was their obsession with removing Donald Trump from the White House worth turning over the federal machine, with its nuclear codes and ability to destroy innocent people, to a man whose faculties are failing him? Biden’s cognitive challenges have been obvious to anyone who’s willing to make an honest assessment. In both public appearances and in controlled conditions, he’s slurred words, spewed gibberish, stumbled through remarks even with the aid of a teleprompter, and often

Dr. Anthony Fauci has impressive credentials and a lengthy tenure as a top-level government health official dating back to 1984. But his performance during the COVID-19 pandemic has been abysmal, with politicized non-science-based edicts and frequently reversed “medical advice” that have confused and frightened Americans. Just a week ago, Fauci made what to some was a stunning admission: “We’ve done worse than most any country” in managing the outbreak, he said. We say “stunning” because Fauci, as head of NIH’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, is the official most responsible for the U.S. response. His 2019 pay of

The just-passed Equality Act no doubt sounds wonderful to many. Who, after all, can disagree with a bill to “prohibit discrimination on the basis of sex, gender identity, and sexual orientation”? But it’s a wretched bill, one that would have many terrible consequences. Passed Thursday by a 224-206 vote, with only three Republicans in support, the legislation now goes to the Senate, where it’s expected (but not guaranteed) to fail. After all, the same bill also passed the House early last year, only to die in the Senate, where it needs 60 votes to get beyond that chamber’s filibuster. With

The bill is riddled with spending unrelated to the COVID crisis, gifts to big unions, bailouts to states that don’t need them, and bad economic policies. It is, in short, a monument to Democratic-style political corruption bought with money borrowed from our children and grandchildren.

I’m probably second to none in my dislike for Meghan Markle. There’s something unattractive about a mature woman marrying into the British Royal family with one of the world’s most expensive weddings, hanging out with the Queen, living in insane luxury…and then whining non-stop about the horror of her life. There’s something even less appealing when that woman accuses the Royal family of race hatred. And the problem is that, when it comes to that left-wing diva, Meghan Markle, it’s hard to believe most of what she says.
