Someone here on Saidit is saying one issue to oppose this is to raise the issue that right as this Dr Levine was forcing covid patients into nursing homes Dr Levine took his own mother out of a nursing home and put his mother into a hotel. First off, I sort of think there's something immoral about sticking your parents into nursing homes, especially if one is a doctor and can afford help and knows enough to help with their care. But then to force everyone into what you then take your mother out of is really duplicitous or something, and the icing on the cake is that Dr Levine did not take his mother home but stuck her in a hotel. Can you feel the love in that family? If so, slap that hand a way fast because that's not love. It's probably groping.

Cuomo in NY did the same thing with putting covid patients into nursing facilities which killed thousands of people and is still treated as some sort of covid conquering hero despite NY being a complete shitshow. Janice Dean has been on him about it but predictably the media just ignores the whole thing or calls it a conspiracy theory. Dem governors=good. Rep governors=bad. That is how it works.

No, he didn't "kill thousands." And if you lived in rural NY, you would find yourself constantly defending Cuomo (as arrogant as he is) against the gun-loving, tax-hating, racists who bash every move he makes. The great scandal of Nursing Home deaths in rural NY was not Cuomo's position but the stupid directors of these places encouraging Covids patients to die "at home" (the nursing home) without going to the hospital to receive the latest treatments. In one nursing home near me, 14 out of 15 patients just died in place and only one opted for the hospital. This was murder, but everyone just lapped it up as so caring, so Christian, so in step with the wishes of the family and the patient.... (it's no fun defending Cuomo who I oppose on some key issues but for upstaters it's par for the course)

"The U.S. Justice Department vastly expanded an inquiry Wednesday that could determine whether New York is undercounting coronavirus deaths among nursing home residents, demanding detailed data from hundreds of private facilities."

"The demand ratchets up pressure on Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo after months of bipartisan criticism that the state’s official tally of 6,722 dead at long-term care facilities is probably off by thousands. That’s because New York, unlike nearly every other state, counts only residents who died on a nursing home’s property and not those who died after being taken to a hospital.

Cuomo’s administration has repeatedly refused to release such nursing home data to lawmakers and the media, including a public-records request from The Associated Press dating back to May. "An AP analysis in August found New York is probably undercounting nursing home deaths by thousands, noting that a separate federal count since May that included resident deaths in hospitals was 65 percent higher than the comparable state count."

"New York’s method of counting allows Cuomo to boast that his state has a lower percentage of nursing home deaths compared to other states."

Yeah, sounds like he is being unfairly treated. Get real. Oh, and there's this :

They donated to his campaign, he gave them tons of patients to charge the gov't for and he told anyone whose relative died b/c of covid in one of these places to go and fuck themselves. What a guy.
