    Andrew Cuomo’s Aide Admits NY Hid COVID-19 Nursing Home Deaths to Avoid Federal Investigation

    Robert Kraychik 11 Feb 2021

    Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s (D-NY) top aide admitted that her team withheld the number of deaths related to COVID-19 in New York’s nursing homes to shield the Cuomo government from federal investigation and political scrutiny.

    The New York Post reported on Thursday that Melissa DeRosa, New York’s secretary to the governor, apologized to Democrat state legislators for “political” damage caused by the Cuomo government’s suppression of information related to nursing home COVID-19 deaths.

    In a recorded call with state Democrat lawmakers, DeRosa said Cuomo’s team feared a federal investigation in the context of former President Donald Trump’s highlighting of coronavirus-related deaths in New York’s nursing homes. This fear motivated Cuomo’s government to suppress the statistics against requests for such information from the state’s government and citizens’ organizations.

    Cuomo’s team prioritized political protection over transparency with New York’s citizens, assessed Assemblyman Ron Kim (D-Queens), who partook in the conference call.

    “They had to first make sure that the state was protected against federal investigation.” Kim told the New York Post. He said DeRosa’s remarks sounded “like they admitted that they were trying to dodge having any incriminating evidence that might put the administration or the [Health Department] in further trouble with the Department of Justice. That’s how I understand their reasoning of why they were unable to share, in real time, the data.”

    DeRosa apologized to state Democrats for negative political consequences resulting from revelations of the Cuomo’s government’s negligence and obfuscation. She said, “So we do apologize. I do understand the position that you were put in. I know that it is not fair. It was not our intention to put you in that political position with the Republicans.”

    Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY) called for an obstruction of justice investigation into Cuomo and New York’s executive branch.

    DOJ needs to immediately open an Obstruction of Justice investigation into Gov Cuomo & his admin. It's now being reported there has been a direct admission of their nursing home coverup. The families of thousands of dead NY seniors deserve accountability.https://t.co/YAHhdORKnN

    Rep. Steve Scalise (D-LA) told Breitbart News in August that New York families who had loved ones die from COVID-19 asked him for help in obtaining information from Cuomo related to nursing home deaths.

    In June, Breitbart News reported that Cuomo neglected to use medical resources made available to him by the Trump administration as part of the Empire State’s coronavirus response.

    Left-wing and partisan Democrat news media outlets regularly praised Cuomo’s conduct as governor in the context of the coronavirus outbreak, with many framing Cuomo’s approach towards combating COVID-19 as evidence of presidential capabilities. Despite framing the spread of COVID-19 as a “crisis,” Cuomo wrote a book, American Crisis: Leadership Lessons from the COVID-19 Pandemic, during his time heading New York’s public health strategy.

    Cuomo’s memoir, ostensibly about “leadership” in times of crisis, omitted any mention of the number of nursing home deaths related to COVID-19 in New York.

    In August, Cuomo described COVID-19 as a metaphor revealing “antisemitism,” “racism,” and “anti-Latino” and “anti-immigrant fervor” he linked to Trump. Cuomo later dismissed criticisms of his COVID-19 nursing home policies as a “conspiracy.”

    The total number of COVID-19-related deaths in nursing homes and assisted living facilities is 15,049, according to New York’s latest information.
    The Associated Press speculated that Cuomo’s government’s underreporting of deaths linked to COVID-19 in nursing homes may have dealt “a potential blow to his image as a pandemic hero.”

    In May, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo (as corrupt as they come) signed legislation to shield executives of hospitals and nursing homes from medical malpractise lawsuits, less than 2 years after he got a flood of cash from the Greater New York Hospital Association (GNYHA).
    It has been established that this type of legislation leads to more deaths in health care facilities.

    One of the lobby firms for GNYHA is Bolton-St Johns, which gave Cuomo’s campaign $40,000 in 2018.

    If you think this is bad, wait till you hear that Governor Cuomo shut down the commission he launched to investigate state corruption to restore "public trust" ... after he couldn't stop them from investigating his cronies.

    Don't be surprised if the trail leads to Donald Trump.

    GOP Rep. Reed: I’m Filing Criminal Complaint Against Cuomo Aide over Nursing Homes

    https://www.breitbart.com/clips/2021...nursing-homes/

    On Friday’s broadcast of the Fox Business Network’s “Mornings with Maria,” Rep. Tom Reed (R-NY) stated that he will file a criminal complaint against New York Secretary to the Governor Melissa DeRosa over a report that she admitted to concealing data about coronavirus in nursing homes.

    Reed said, “[N]ow we have Gov. Cuomo’s second in command, essentially, on a taped confession to fellow Democratic lawmakers admitting she committed criminal activity to cover up for what they were hiding from the federal officials that were responsible to get to the bottom of this, and make sure that…we learned what happened with the COVID-19-positive order that sent 15,000 [people] to their death that Cuomo issued back in March. This, obviously, cannot go unaccounted for. And that’s why we were arguing this in the committee yesterday, when we demanding that transparency and accountability be part of this COVID-19 package. But, most importantly, the days of Cuomo are going to be numbered in Albany here. But, most important, we need to start with this second in command. I’m demanding — I’m going to be looking at filing a personal criminal complaint against this individual, today, in local law enforcement offices, as well as federal offices. Because she needs to be arrested today.”

    He added, “[L]et’s get this second in command arrested, hopefully today, by filing this criminal complaint.”

    Andrew Cuomo, the governor of New York, appeared sheepish on Friday as he and other governors joined Joe Biden in the Oval Office to discuss COVID relief, amid mounting calls for Cuomo to be prosecuted.

    Cuomo's administration has been rocked by the confession on Thursday of his top aide, Melissa DeRosa, that they deliberately hid data on nursing home COVID deaths, in the midst of a Justice Department investigation into their handling of the pandemic.

    Cuomo on Friday did not take questions about the growing scandal.

    They're putting the full spin on this one. Trying to convince us all that if the lockdown were only more brutal, we could squash the "pandemic"!
    That the deaths aren't caused by any infectious coronavirus, is apparent because most people that were hospitalised in New York carefully followed the stay at home orders...


    Data from 100 New York hospitals involving about 1,000 patients shows that 66% of new admissions for COVID-19 were people who had largely been sheltering at home. The second highest source of admissions was from nursing homes, 18%.


    Instead of easing the lockdown, as this apparently doesn’t prevent so-called COVID-19 hospitalisations, New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo commented:
    This is a surprise: Overwhelmingly, the people were at home. We thought maybe they were taking public transportation, and we’ve taken special precautions on public transportation, but actually no, because these people were literally at home.

    This suggests that staying at home, or locking people up in their rooms in nursing homes was the real cause of death for many of these "COVID-19 fatalities": https://www.cnbc.com/2020/05/06/ny-g...ying-home.html
