Yesterday The Washington Free Beacon<\/a> posted an article about how Governor Cuomo handled the coronavirus in New York State.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

New York governor Andrew Cuomo (D.) said Wednesday that the widely reported readmission of coronavirus patients to nursing homes at the height of the pandemic in the state “never happened.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cuomo said that despite a March 25 advisory<\/a> issued by his administration barring nursing homes from denying admission to patients “solely based on a confirmed or suspected case of COVID-19,” readmissions never took place. He claimed that, because the state “never needed” those nursing home beds, readmitting COVID-positive patients “just never happened.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cuomo admitted his administration implemented the policy but said it was only an “anticipatory rule,” in case hospitals became overwhelmed with patients.<\/strong><\/p>\n

As a result of the rule, however, nursing homes readmitted over 6,000 patients who tested positive for coronavirus between late March and early May.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

I wonder if the mainstream media will actually confront him about this lie.<\/p>\n

The article further reports:<\/p>\n

Nearly 6,500 New York nursing home patients have died of COVID-19 as of Sept. 28, accounting for about 20 percent of the state\u2019s total coronavirus deaths (32,768). Some experts say that number could be higher, as the state health department does not count those who contracted the virus in a nursing home.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the same call, Cuomo said his policies “saved lives.”\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Governor Cuomo has taken some very interesting positions as New York has fought the coronavirus.<\/p>\n

On April 13, 2020, NBC New York<\/a> reported:<\/p>\n

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo is never shy to point out that President Donald Trump attacks him more than any other governor in America.<\/strong><\/p>\n

But on Monday, Cuomo took to an unlikely venue — The Howard Stern Show — to offer genuine praise for the president’s response to the coronavirus in his home state.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“He has delivered for New York. He has,” Cuomo said of Trump, in response to a question from Stern about whether the president has really done anything of consequence to help.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“By and large it has worked,” Cuomo said of the relationship.<\/strong><\/p>\n

He cited, as he has before, the sending of the Navy ship USNS Comfort and the construction of a military field hospital at the Javits Center as examples of the president responding quickly to the state’s needs.<\/strong><\/p>\n

That’s very nice. However, on September 24, 2020, U.S. News<\/a> reported:<\/p>\n

\n

Cuomo and Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer are calling for congressional investigations into the Trump administration’s “politicization of [the] pandemic response.”<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The Democratic governors singled out President Donald Trump, saying in a joint statement<\/u><\/a> on Thursday that the “unprecedented and unacceptable scale of this tragedy is the direct result of President Trump and the federal government’s deceit, political self-dealing and incompetence.”<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Note that September is part of the run-up to the Presidential election. Also note that calling for a congressional investigation into someone after saying that your relationship with them works seems a little odd. I don’t think the President is the one who politicized the coronavirus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
