Rather unfortunate and deadly decision. It was a super-spreader decision

nntaleb your thoughts...?😐

Meet the brain behind the brainless NY Governor in the nursing home COVID death march.

Call BS on this.....

Oh geez, there was plenty of room to put elderly COVID patients in places other than nursing homes. It was obviously the wrong move at the time and an inexplicable and unforgivable decision.

I agree with NY health commissioner.

This was just like any other virus - decisions were made directly opposite of established responses to virus outbreaks - mistakes were made by politicians that resulted in thousands of unnecessary deaths - cue up the wrongful death class action suits!

He acted like a story teller today! He should be striped of his doctor privilege or from NYS Commissioner of Department of Health, at the very least ......

If science was not used what was also he knew the elderly were more susceptible

“We have done nothing wrong. Please move along.”

What's with these health officials that look like they just crawled out of a crypt?

Why wasn't the hospital ship or the Javits centered used to care for infected nursing home residents?

Put him in the same jail cell as Cuomo

Which is why all those other states did the same thin...... oh wait

I just moved to your city, who wouldn't mind showing me interesting places?
