“#Even bigger lies by Cuomo to cover up nursing-home scandal<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n

While Gov. Andrew Cuomo was securing a reported $4 million deal to write a book on his pandemic \u201cleadership,\u201d he and his staff were busy suppressing the truth about New York\u2019s nursing-home deaths in the wake of the March 25 order that forced homes to admit COVID-contagious patients. And it now turns out the coverup was even worse than we\u2019d thought.<\/p>\n

On top of blocking health officials from telling the truth, senior staffers also quashed a scientific paper that reported the true fatality total, The New York Times reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A June 18 e-mail from top aide Melissa DeRosa to health officials shows Team Cuomo was \u201canxious\u201d about a pending Department of Health report on nursing-home coronavirus fatalities and out to downplay the idea that the March 25 mandate had proved deadly.<\/p>\n

The Cuomoites were publicly citing a nursing-home death toll of about 6,000 by ignoring home residents who\u2019d died while hospitalized. The draft report shared the full count of over 9,700, noting that the homes accounted for \u201capp<\/a>roximately 35 percent\u201d of all NY coronavirus deaths. But DeRosa \u2014 who at the same time was intimately involved in the gov\u2019s book-deal negotiations \u2014 and other staff got all that edited out. The final report said the homes only yielded 21 percent of the state\u2019s virus death total, making it seem below<\/em>, rather than above, the US average.<\/p>\n

Cuomo, the Times reports, acknowledged in an October call with DeRosa, Health Commissioner Howard Zucker and others that the full figures would have to come out eventually. But by then he\u2019d already scored his fat book advance.<\/p>\n

For months, Zucker and others refused to release the full info, pretending that they needed to check the data first. After the truth came out, DeRosa privately told\u00a0 Democratic legislators Team Cuomo withheld the truth out of fear of a probe by the Trump Justice Department \u2014 a provable lie, since the coverup began long before the feds started sniffing.<\/p>\n

Cuomo, meanwhile, has fallen back on the first lie, again claiming last Thursday that \u201cthe concern for the state was that we provide accurate numbers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Give it up, governor: Your blatant dishonesty is an insult to the dead, and it won\u2019t save your skin.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
