COVID nursing home deaths deserve a federal investigation
For almost two years now I, along with other families, have been fighting for the truth when it comes to what happened in New York nursing homes. Many of you know that we lost my husband’s parents Michael and Dolores Newman in the spring of 2020 after they contracted COVID in their care facilities.
I found out shortly after they died that our former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and his administration had ordered over 9,000 COVID positive patients into senior residences across the state for 46 days. We still have no idea why the governor and his administration chose to bring a highly contagious virus into a place where our most vulnerable resided despite all the early warning signs this would prove lethal.
I’ve also wondered why Cuomo and company never utilized the makeshift hospitals that were provided to us in New York City like the USS Comfort hospital ship and the Javits Center. Instead of sending sick patients to these two places, the health department decided to cram the nursing home halls with sick people.
And the biggest question that has still gone unanswered is why. Why did Cuomo go to such great lengths to cover up the death toll by the thousands?
Meanwhile, as we were trying to find answers, there were reports that other Democratic governors across the country were doing exactly the same thing: Governors Tom Murphy of New Jersey, Tom Wolf of Pennsylvania, Gavin Newsom of California and Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan were all writing executive orders sending their infected citizens to recover into long term care facilities. – READ MORE
