New York hospitals released more than 6,300 recovering coronavirus patients into nursing homes at the pandemic's height. But state officials say the policy wasn't to blame for a high nursing home death toll and point to staffers who worked while infected.

“If you were to place blame, I would blame coronavirus,” Zucker said.

While New York’s report doesn’t rule out whether the March 25 directive played any role in the thousands of nursing home deaths, it notes that the virus was already present in many homes before they accepted COVID-19 patients from hospitals. Over 80% of the 310 nursing homes that admitted such patients already had a confirmed or suspected case among residents or staffers, the report says.

The head of a union that represents 60,000 New York nursing home workers said they did all they could to care for residents.

Just found this 'unsent tweet' Going to tell my grandkids this is Cuomo

Wait I thought this was Trump's fault. 🧐 /s

AP covering for dems. FakeNews

Fuck them. It was the policy not the staff and no amount of spinning will change the truth. Anyone saying different if a psychopathic idiot digging themselves into a bigger hole to escape the lawsuits.

When your flat denying facts - means you must be a lefty. Here’s your ‘participation trophy’.

And how were the staffers infected?

I'd use a laugh emoji at the sheer tone deaf level of this but those who were eliminated through this policy deserve our solemn respect.

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

Horseshit.

Ridiculous. NYGovCuomo killed these people. Period.

Gov Cuomo released more than 6,300 recovering corona virus patients into nursing homes resulting in the exponential spread of the virus. Cuomo takes no responsibility for his actions.

Really, ?

corrcomm Carrying water for Cuomo like

Damn that is a whopper of a lie.

Definitely true, the infected seniors weren't wearing their masks properly so that's what killed them

Blaming it on nursing home staffers is baller as hell.

The policy signed by Cuomo

Were the 'staffers' elderly and suffering from pre-existing illnesses?

Does AP read/edit what they print? The most likely explanation is normally the correct one. When put known cases w/most susceptible, what is probable cause? Any rocket scientists anyone? Does not take a rocket scientist to apply common sense.

LOL

EverMama8 Part of this psyop was to test what staff would do - if they would stand up and say 'No' or just follow orders. They obviously did the latter and now he is throwing them under the bus.

Blaming the staff is a garbage move but i guess if that's all you have 😂

🤯 NYGovCuomo is not a leader. He completely mismanaged NewYorkCovid crisis. he knew or should have known NOT TO ALLOW positive Covid patients back into NursingHomes & he criticizes other Govs? CuomoFail

Yet Cuomo has not been asked this by a very friendly media.

'State officials?' Like those who work for Cuomo and such?

Yeah, and the tooth fairy really exists.

I call bullshit!

Cuomo right now

Yes, because the left knows they can gaslight the public because they know they get a free pass in the media.

randymelder Biggest scandal in a long time, but Democrat-run media ignores it.

It is the nursing home’s responsibility to provide appropriate protective equipment! That is why they charge $140,000 per yea per private pay patient! The less care they provide, thre higher the profit! You cannot keep people in acute care hospitals if they don’t meet criteria!

'one of the nation’s highest nursing home death tolls' Was it higher somewhere else? Where?

placidly1 'State Officials' are lying sacks of sh🤬t. NYGovCuomo needs to be indicted for those deaths.

He has no shame. It’s up to us to shame him.

I stopped reading at 6,300 Coronavirus patients were sent to nursing homes.

The fed government needs to investigate

Yikes

Liars. Need an independent investigation period.

Cuomo is a mass murderer.

Governor Kevorkian was doing serious work killing off seniors. New York is second in the world in COVID-19 death rate, only behind New Jersey and it took some real effort to get there.

The lying liars are lying again. Of all people and all places, Cuomo had the most extra resources available to him. A whole 1000 bed hospital ship and several field hospitals. They went virtually unused.

I thought the staff working with the residents were required to wear masks

BS! NYGovCuomo is a murderer!

Hoo boy, blaming health care workers for NYGovCuomo official policy is certainly a take.

In this case, the article is as stupid as the headline. Those patients should have never been sent there. It’s not the healthcare workers fault. I wonder how they feel about your accusation?

Add the word “Bulls**t.” to the end and you’ve got it!

Damn you think the staffers might have been infected by the covid patients they sent back?

9/10 odds say state officials won’t be held accountable

While javitz center remained virtually EMPTY While hotels remained virtually EMPTY EITHER of these could have been utilized as 'covid convalescent care' facilities Journalism is DEAD

DeplorableWench

No one believes this.

BucktweetCol Oh, I'm sure putting sick folk amongst the most vulnerable had no impact... Total BS!

NYGovCuomo should just admit it. He didn't notice what was happening in nursing homes. Perhaps because they were always on his list to receive palliative care when he set up his ventilator rationing plan.

He’s found another Scapegoat

_Patriot__

Sure. The elderly caught coronavirus because of...

KinnishSam

That's vile. Do you have any decency, whatsoever?

Perhaps the problem started back in 2015 after NYGovCuomo was warned that NY would be short 16K ventilators in the event of a pandemic, and he ordered his Health Commissioner to plan for rationing.

Coward Cuomo, deflecting blame like a defiant child. Do you think sane people cannot see right through your devilish lie(s) ?

And releasing violent felons into the streets is not causing crime spikes. It's the innocent victims' fault for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. CuomoLogic

This seems like a ridiculous lie.

What an amazing coinkidink! However clearly nothing to see here.

That's a big load of shit.

This is not going to end well for them.

...so Governor Cuomo's office is blaming the staffers now? Is Andrew Cuomo actually the Governor of the State of New York or did he just wander into the office one day and decide to stay? Cuz his state's a mess and he seems to think he has no share of the blame at all.

Cuomo refusing to take responsibility

Wow. Blaming the healthcare workers now. Next he’ll be blaming the dead for infecting themselves.

How does someone write this with a clear conscience?

Oh I see, it wasn’t Government Policy that killed all those seniors. No no no, it was the scummy people who worked long hours and short staffed who killed all those seniors. Ok, I get it now, thanks for clearing that up for me

Cuomo killed seniors and is trying to blame the nursing homes which did what he ordered them to do. He is disgusting and should resign immediately.

As surely as Russia could count on Pravda to run its propaganda arm, we can count on the AP and mainstream media to do the same for the Democratic party and those culpable in the death of thousands. Vile and disgusting

So the people responsible for the high death rate don’t take responsibility? Shocking🙄

Sureeeee

Hey, who gave Covid to the staffers? 🤔

NY State, March 2020: Healthcare workers are heroes! NY State, July 2020: Healthcare workers are COVID19 Carrie and totally to blame for the infected patients we forced nursing homes to accept while writing legislation to ensure we were not blamed for the consequences!

And our Pravda media will go along with these lies. Our time is short. We need to stop these Communists before it’s too late

Not OUR fault

It’s not the states fault the homes listened and obeyed the state executive order!!!

This is the most appalling, ham-handed attempt to deflect blame I think I've ever seen.

supertrumpie Everyone knows it’s Nips Cuomo’s fault 100% He IS The Nursing-Home-Killer and will be remembered as such for all eternity

State officials are lying cowards. They are just doing Como's bidding.

Anyone facing lawsuits about neglect will find reason to post blame on others 🙄. We knew better at the time and Fredo showed how bad of a governor he truly is....

So why are we self isolating and quarantining if coming in contact with recovering infections does not spread infection. Please explain

New York “state officials” are 🤡 and morons, starting with their half-wit Governor. is FAKENEWS.

K

How did they get infected in the first place?

“State officials”

Y’all will literally believe anything you’re told. “Riots & protests DEFINITELY didn’t up COVID, it was the beaching”. “Putting sick people in nursing homes DEFINITELY didn’t impact COVID, it was totally something else. *whispers* Gov Cuomo, what are we supposed to say again?” 🤡

KillerCuomo 🦠

He let THAT happen too

New York Governor andrewcuomo pivots to the “Bart Simpson” defense.

MsAvaArmstrong Thanks too China CCP The cure. COvID curing the flu, Cancer & Heart disease ( many more )

It wasn’t, huh......

Such a lie! Get rope.

KillerCuomo Throw the Torch into the Nursing Homes..like so many others States...The States opt-out to Saved the Most Vulnerable! He and others should be Charged!

🤦🏻‍♂️

Well, if state officials, the same ones who PUT the sick patients into nursing homes say so, than who are we to question.

State officials LIE

So now we’re led to believe it’s the healthcare workers to blame for all the covid nursing homes deaths?! Look no further than Governor cuomo’s written order instructing nursing homes to accept infected pts.

The order was given by Cuomo. This is complete garbage.

They are block the tweet!

sorry but no.

This is called gaslighting...look it up.

So much for thanking front line workers eh?

'staffers who worked when infected'! What does that tell you about the efficacy of surgical masks?

Bullshit

Nursing home Holocaust.

BS

For sale: bridge in Brooklyn. Like new. Original owner.

NYGovCuomo

BillCoughlin2 Right. Is this whitewash time? Sending those COVID patients into the midst of the must sensitive recipients was akin to murder.

Wait, I thought those people were heroes.

“State officials, who’s livelihood & reputations relies on the references of state workers, claim state officials have no fault of forcefully spreading COVID-19 by ways of the state governor’s declaration in March. State officials have concluded no foul play. Carry on.

Amazing how little coverage this tragedy has received. Instead the media was too busy talking about Trump playing golf once and tarnishing Hydroxycloroquine

How are you embicles trying to put this on our front line heroes? NYGovCuomo and NYCMayor are the ones who ordered chinavirus patients into nursing homes! They killed people’s grandparents. They deserve prison!

this is absolutely disgusting and is completely on the shoulders of NYGovCuomo

I mean why not healthcare on strike in the middle of a pandemic vs being the fucking scape goat for bandana bullshit by CDCgov is very plausible in 2020.

It’s never the Democrats fault. More proof liberalism is a mental disorder.

That’s like saying, “They didn’t die from a fall. It was the sudden stop at the end. The ground is to blame.”

Lmfao you’re all a joke

Blaming medical essential workers for the pandemic deaths. Bold strategy by NYGovCuomo

It’s EXACTLY to blame. How dumb do you think we are?

I can smell the bullshit over my phone on this one.

Germany says the policy of filling the Hindenburg with hydrogen was not to blame for its destruction, but cites the U.S. Navy linesmen at Lakehurst as the cause.

Lol...could you imagine this kind of excuse making and absurd passing the buck at any workplace in America. They shamelessly lie and tell you to say thanks

Is there anyone who really thinks this is a remotely plausible excuse? Don’t blame policy, blame to workers? Sick.

This is an incredibly bad take...

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!!!!!!!!!!

He said in one press conference he was following federal guidance. That’s a lie. He didn’t say that in this article and he didn’t say it when Howard stern interviewed him for about 30 minutes

Gracious...blaming your constituents for executing your mandates...not honorable NYGovCuomo .

What kind of an idiot would buy this?

Enemy of the people toddkharris

Uh huh. And are you selling a bridge too?

“State Officials, who enjoy being not-unemployed, know how to play the game”

This sounds like fraud. And semantics. How did “the staffers” spread it but not the actual residents?

Only a moron would believe this. AP IS A FUCKING JOKE! Yeah it was the sick staffers. Not the 6300 sick patients out there in order to murder our senior citizens and spike the death numbers. 5 democrat governors should be put on trial for crimes against humanity. Was genocide!

Cuomo was the one that ordered this policy, right?

The good news is that not one person in these comments is buying this bullshit

Cuomo investigated Cuomo decision and found that Cuomo was 100% blameless. CASE CLOSED!

JaniceDean can you believe this

Are these the same “State Officials” who are now covering their asses over this failed and deadly policy? No link? Are you really going to run with that?!?

Cuomo should be in jail!

So NYC hires diseased infectious people to work in nursing homes.

ah, they're gonna blame the essential workers now.

AP working overtime to cover for Cuomo

Umm the idiot governor signed the order to do this..... Fail

Cuomo lied. Elderly died.

Wait..... What?

Too bad there was a giant hospital ship nearby where they could send these people. Oh wait..

Cuomo is biggest fraud in politics

Cuomo ordered this.

Truly, honestly, they will do anything but to admit that this was a terrible policy

I can’t imagine why state officials would have that opinion...

lol. 'State officials claim they aren't to blame.' If this wasn't a deeply serious matter on literally 1000s needlessly dead, I would call Cuomo and his state officials a joke.

Wow, AP. That doesn't really line up with this story:

WTF?!?

Who signed the freaking order forcing nursing homes to take infected patients? FFS!

This is the guy always telling Trump to just “admit you were wrong”

Cuomo is a POS

I wonder what 'The Science' says about that.

The policy is to blame OBVIOUSLY 🙄

LMAO. Theyre blaming the overworked and underpaid staff GTFO. The blood is on Cuomos hands.

It’s amazing what you won’t find when you don’t do any looking

Hahahahaha blaming the people putting themselves in harm’s way. NYC is a hellscape and the people in charge are to blame.

Left changing history again via Media

Given that asymptomatic spread is highly unlikely, I call bullshit on this. This is CYA. Indict these fucks.

State officials must be brain damaged

Ever since Trump was elected governor of New York things have gone downhill.

AP = HACKERY NEWS 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬GOV. EVIL EYES CUOMO IS PURE EVIL...

Gee why do people think the media is partisan? KillerCuomo

Of course State officials are going to say the State isn't responsible. No independent investigation?

When did NY hire Baghdad Bob?

Haha, holy shit

Cuomo is a gutless liar.

Why are you covering his ass?

Bull shit😡 Stop trying to cover for the Democrat Governors who Are responsible for these Nursing home deaths

And how did those staffers get infected?

Sure, and protests didn't spread COVID at all, it was just pool parties, got it, AP

The lengths to which they go to gaslight is is amazing. It’s actually frightening. Truth is a word that doesn’t exist in their vocabulary.

MsAvaArmstrong If it happens here you can bet it’s happening in restsurants

MsAvaArmstrong

State officials are morons and NYGovCuomo killed thousands with this policy.

RamblingMother Pass the buck

In other words, Politicians: It wasn’t our decision that was the cause, it was the Darn Heroes!!!

This is gross. Anything to not blame your new 'hero' in all this.

The official investigation by the foxes determined they were not responsible for the chicken massacre.

BS !!!!! How many of the staffers’ immune systems were compromised? But EVERY single one of the elderly did have compromised systems. The elderly should NEVER have been put into those situations!!!!! This is on Cuomo!!!!!!!

Yea, you would spin the truth to run cover for the corrupt dems. Because you are FakeNews and truly the EnemyOfThePeople

Cuomo sent the virus to the nursing homes, but, 'it isn't my fault' they died. It was the incompetence of the workers. Sound like a democrat.

Since the NH’s weren’t allowed to test patients prior to readmission, perhaps maybe the staff got infected from those patients that NYS is claiming is not the source of the infection. If the first infection never occurred then there would not have been a risk of retransmission.

More cover provided by liberal news sources like to the governor over the Cuomovirus scandal.

Sick!

'Luv guv talkin' the real 24/7' 🙄🙄🙄

Once again, the Big D Shield protects!

Huh ?

Cuomo is a mass murderer...KillerCuomo

Cover up.

“I’ve investigated myself and decided I did nothing wrong”

AP - Please do your jobs as JOURNALISTS (not shills) and read your own reporting from May; 'More than 4,500 recovering coronavirus patients were sent to New York’s already vulnerable nursing homes under a controversial state directive'

No one believes your headline, AND I hear Governors are not immune to Law Suits for policies of lacing sick people in nursing homes. Nobody is stupid enough to believe it was the hard working people at the nursing homes who are to blame. You have lost your integrity AP

Nope. Cuomo owns this. Try reporting truth for awhile. It's refreshing and you won't be fact checked all the time

Yes it was impossible for those infected patients to pass COVID on to other older much more at risk residents, just like being at a protest grants you full immunity from catching the Virus as well. Also, any use of actual logic is 'verboten' by the left.

“We’ve investigated ourselves and find no wrong doing on our part” -State Officials

Not just NY. MI, PA, WA, ect. Was it intentional to spike numbers?

Just because 'state officials say the policy wasn't to blame for a high nursing home death toll' does not make it true, or factual. Nursing Homes are full of the elderly and the most vulnerable. Exposing them to COVID recovering patients was a death sentence by NYGovCuomo

What a steaming pile... So 6300 verified sick people had nothing to do with it, but a few handfuls of 'possibly infected' staff killed them all? The states didn't do their due diligence in seeing that the homes were suited to handle the sick. Unused Javis & Comfort beds.

This is an outright lie, but what would one expect from this garbage paper

Total BS

Lies

Oh. And Trump has the audacity to say that hospital workers were taking masks. This A-hole is blaming workers for killing thousands of people that they were helping.

Change the cause of death listed from “Covid” to “Cuomo.”

Yep this is as accurate as the protesters didn’t cause the spike in cases 😂😂😂😂

Nothing says “care” like politicians, bureaucrats and nursing home SEIU workers.

NYGovCuomo - please resign

Oh. Ok

Bullshit. His media allies will protect him to the end, but the people aren’t as stupid as they think.

C U O M O

Come the fuck on,

Killer Cuomo signed the order....

will print ANYTHING Democrats tell them to print.

All 'studies' all seem to protect liberals ....no bias or anything in said study🙄

Cuomo is a terrible person

LisaFedUp2 Of course the state officials say that. 🙄 Cuomo also blamed the nursing homes, the staff, the residents, visitors, hospitals, federal government, etc. while ignoring his mandate. Cuomo is a curse on NY.

I wonder how those staffers got infected hmmmm? I can’t put my finger on it.

so i should suspend my powers of logic, then.... junkjourno

It’s really Ron DeSantis’ fault when you think about it

‘I only shot 100 bullets at the man. I have no idea how he died from those billet wounds. How could I be to blame?’

Wow ... jus wow

EddieDonovan You're behind the 8 ball on this one AP

Liars! And then they call Trump a liar. Observe who the liars are.

Cuomo and di Blasio killed people.

Cuomo is a liar 🤥!

Cuomo is a killer. His policies and the policies of the other four Democrat Governor’s are directly responsible for their deaths.

Ok..keep telling yourselves that..darn AP used to be a real news source..

Imagine this being your excuse

I can't even work my brain around this thought process. If you didn't send all those patients to the nursing homes, the employees could have stayed home while sick. After the patients arrived, it was all hands on deck. Duh.

Cuomo only allowed HCQ administered in the hospitals. Did he deny these patients their Right to Try a potentially lifesaving therapy drug? How many would have survived?

You are a joke.

Cuomo’s executive order that murdered thousands. Please save this document for future use.

Even Fredo isn't that dumb

Bull shit!!!

KillerCuomo

Here’s Cuomo’s order.

And who exactly is stupid enough to believe this and repeat it?

Well here you go JaniceDean . It wasn't NYGovCuomo 's fault according to

What a liar Cuomo is! Gonna roll over on the front line health care workers, as if it was their faults. Terrible!

Well if STATE OFFICIALS say it wasn't to blame then I guess it wasn't. Why is it that we even listen to these morons on anything? They've been WRONG the whole time. NYGovCuomo killed the elderly. The proof is in the results. He protected his mom but killed others.

Complete lie. What a joke the AP is now today as well. If you continue to tell it, I guess you start to believe it as the truth.

kerpen Killer Cuomo

.NYGovCuomo signed the order issuing this policy…

B S. NYGovCuomo is most certainly responsible for it. It was HIS EO that moved them there DESPITE having the medical ship IN THE HARBOR. He needs to be charged with their deaths.

But I thought the healthcare workers were out heroes?

Went from blaming Trump to blaming essential workers NYGovCuomo is a funny guy

So are you enjoying having no credibility, and every article you publish being used to point to how terrible of a news agency you are? I mean wouldnt have been easier, and better business practice to just report the actual news. Like: NY state tries to deflect blame onto staff

NOW is covering for the FIVE DNC Governors who sent POSITIVE Covid-19 Patients into the MOST LETHAL “Hot Zones” by pushing BLAME on Heathcare Workers There is a Class Action Lawsuit Coming; that Lawsuit could NOW implicate the media for LIES regarding HydroxyChloroquine

'We investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoing.'

Shameful.

Cuomo is blaming everybody but himself. Figures.

I am so glad this is in the media now more. Hardly any journalist asked about this in Cuomo’s briefings over the 100 days. This needs to be investigated!

You won’t see this on CNN. I just scrolled my CNN mobile app. Nada!

Blaming the 'heroes' now. Congrats NY, you're screwed.

Yea, that's bullshit.

Why did Cuomo send infected to nursing homes, packed with the most vulnerable, instead of the $20 million temporary hospital or the Mercy ship?

Isn’t that amazing? Thousands of positive patients released into the general population of nursing homes and not one of them infected another. It was those damn nurses! Science

It was intentional.

Why would they accept responsibility We all know Coumo, Murphy and that geek in Pa. are all murderers.

FactsMatter The Governor is responsible

🐎🚽

Oh

So we’re blaming the healthcare workers now?

No one believes this. You know that, right?

KillerCuomo is a monster. The schitt bags in the Democrat party view him as some sort of deity.... they are Satanists

Gaslighting America again

It's never the state's fault

🤔🤔🤔 Shoehorning the sick into senior care while banning HCQ? Now why would anyone recklessly expose elderly to the virus while ordering no use of a drug proven safe 15 years ago for SARS Coronavirus that's been around for 60 years 🤔🤔🤔 If only there were journalists.

Wow talk about a spin...

moorman_pat Democrat Party disinformation

KillerCuomo

This is only a microcosm of the untold truths behind COVID19

Cuomo had other options. Javits 2500 beds, Comfort 500beds,$21M was spent putting up a 670 bed hosp treated 0 patients. $19.8 million to convert a Tennis Center saw 79 patients. Svrl field hosps were built acrossNY for nearly $350M....saw 0 patients.

Melissa03295697 And NYGovCuomo how did the staff get infected? Answer: like my Uncle, by a patient. It's not hard, and it's honorable, to eat crow once in a while. It's past time to do so.

What a crock of shit, .andrewcuomo.

People are waking up to bullshit

Of course not because Cuomo is a democrat

So much FakeNews every single day!

Cuomo owns this & trying 2 cover his ass. Fact of the matter is cuomo signed an order forcing nursing homes 2 take back covid positive patients resulting in the most vulnerable people being exposed & ultimately succumbing to the virus. His decision resulted in 1000s of deaths.

Right!!...

Right. Democratic leadership is all-knowing and perfectly right about EVERYTHING in hindsight.

moorman_pat Media assets covering up for the democrat governors that violated federal guidelines - color me not surprised.

Poorly written article. Does not seem apolitical at all. Poor example of supposed journalism. Thought had integrity.

Idiots!!!!

OMG - way to go ASSociated press!

So, he's once again putting the blame off on someone else.

We'll reserve comment till Cuomo's murder trial. We'll get back with you because colluded with Hillary to lose an election she rigged in her favor. APistheenemyofthepeople and facing the punishment for treason.

didn't trump give them a massive ship and got the military to build facilities that were never used?

I am shocked the AP would report on maniac Cuomo’s dirty deeds. Thank you. Now hold that sociopath accountable!

Lies. All lies. This policy at the doing of NYGovCuomo is completely to blame.

Immoral bastards covering for Cuomo.

Just like riots didn’t cause a spike in cases either.

Oh please. Stop dishonoring these vulnerable, exploited elderly people, now dead by these Governors hands. This is unconionable to promote drivel like this. Evil.

What kind of bull shit is this ?

Look at governor Cuomo shedding responsibility and blaming others for a mistake he made. And blaming workers. This is a joke. On top of it all, you'll hear protests don't already COVID.

“State officials say”. Yes. Of course they do. It was their policy.

Just going to take what state officials say at face value? AP a joke

Yikes

Maybe ask those employees some questions? We never hear from them, only cuomo

Right. Now, if you keep saying it, it’ll come true.

Yes, blame the people who had no choice but to work. The policy makers have no responsibility. Money absolves all sins apparently. Sorry Jesus.

PLHCrawford AP: “Why do they keep calling us Fake News?” Us: this, this right here

Fuxing liars, fake news.

This is what communism looks like

I wonder how those staffers got infected...oh...never mind...

NYGovCuomo the murderer.

Older people die from this virus. Anything that did not protect them was negligent. A class action would get independent perspective not arse covering . China said very early it only impacted older people.

The State says the State isn’t responsible for poor decisions made by the State. *fixed it

Bullshit.

“But state officials say” 😂😂

...... really?

What BS. Does anyone actually believe this spin? Either they see through it or they simply don’t care enough to worry about their murderous governor KillerCuomo

And neither are protest

Meanwhile. President outfitted the Javitz center and sent a hospital ship specifically retrofitted for COVID, and cuomo used NEITHER, defying Trump’s federal advice on how to handle recovering COVID pts. Instead cuomo put them in nursing homes. INTENTIONAL. 1st degree. Murder.

WE SEE YOU. WE KNOW WHAT YOU ARE.

andrewcuomo is to blame

I call BS. Definitely a combination of factors but infected recovering patients in nursing homes wasn't to blame? How stupid.

Yeah ok. CT did the same thing but smaller populations = smaller numbers. They blamed the nurses.

MurderMystery Cuomo has some splainin to do

Complete nonsense. Nursing homes of vulnerable old people covid19 petridishes. Time to come after leading! criminals in office or uniforms of heretic states & Not their footsoldiers on the streets. Poor Policemen on the streets enforce only the heretic plutocracy rule of law

Sure

Fake. News.

KillerCuomo KillerCuomo KillerCuomo KillerCuomo KillerCuomo KillerCuomo KillerCuomo KillerCuomo KillerCuomo KillerCuomo KillerCuomo KillerCuomo ClassAction

Hitler blamed the local employees at Treblinka and other extermination camps for pushing the Jews into the gas chambers too.

Yeah NYGovCuomo is full of shit.

Right

I call bullshit! 💩 🐄

Yes, it very obviously was to blame.

That is a lie! They sent seniors that were Covid positive to these nursing homes by order of NYGovCuomo. We’ve seen the order.

They're lying.

Passing the buck huh?

.NYGovCuomo COVID19 NYC

App and every other leftist outlet.

Ok Goebbels

What else would state officials ( Cuomo) say. He sign the order...he cause the problem.

You’re insulting our intelligence. I’d say it’s beneath you, but that ship has sailed.

Fuck andrewcuomo You did this.

NYGovCuomo’s PR Maxine churning out some doozies today. Not an independent, sensible, journalistic thought comping from the AP on this story though. Sad.

It has everything to do with Governor Glittertits and his merry band of morons sending Covid positive cases to infect vulnerable people in nursing homes. Blood on all your hands. The AP is fake news.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Cuomo’s a joke

Well that's a load of bullshit. They've turned deflecting responsibility and misleading blame into an artform.

🙄

Holy shit This is really what you’re going with

Lies! Cuomo is a murder!

Of course, it’s never a Democrat politicians fault. Understood. Got it.

What? And stupid you bought it without question of course to stick up for Comrade Coumo

WRONG, Cuomo is a killer! Congress will hold him to account, I hope he gets prison...

Great job passing blame

Unbelievable, when will BilldeBlasio NYGovCuomo take responsibility for this?

If the state is blaming workers at the nursing home that must be that special department. The department of bullship

Oh boy. Sure sure.

DemocRATs killed those people with their policies.

How did workers get infected, delivered by Amazon Prime? They got infected because the virus was introduced into the nursing home by Coumo directed placing of infected into the nursing home. Yes they got sick. They worked because no one else would. You can't polish this turd!

👍🏻 👌🏼

WeKnow. We've known this whole time. You just catching up _Politics ?

Wait! Did Hell just freeze over? Did just post some truth 🤯 But thank goodness andrewcuomo and Fredo’s mom is safe! 🙄

ConcentrationCamps

This is pure propaganda.

Why are youlying! This is not what happened! Crazy Cuomo ordered then into nursing homes therefore deaths!

KassandraTroy The responsibility for this disaster rests solely with Governor Cuomo. His arrogance and newly found star power from is prolonged news conferences made him drunk with self importance. Cuomo made catastrophic decisions and thousands died.

Alternative headline: NY State blames NY nursing homes following NY policy for New York patient deaths

We’re the AP and we make-up the news.

Is there anyone dumb enough to believe this ridiculous lie?

Ummm nah bitch

sabine_durden This is manslaughter!

NYGovCuomo NYCMayor two pathetic cowards.

That sounds like some pretty heavy duty NY CYA BS, IMO.

That’s all NYGovCuomo fault. Maybe report it correctly

“Without evidence ...”

What? Let’s figure out a way not to blame Cuomo

Oh, please.... we’re not all idiots who buy something just because a news outlet says to. Those Covid patients infected residents at nursing homes. Negligent homicide.

We’re aware. We want justice.

Anyone who believed this utter bull 👇🏽

KillerCuomo has committed Genocide.

FREDO 2.0 Cuomo has killed more people than Son of Sam

Ok, so that’s settled then. Righty ho.

BS! It was too Cuomo’s policy. He needs to own it. BTW how many lives could have been saved with HCQ?

A picture is better than 1,000 tweets:

Can we get an AP fact check on what the exact cause of the Nursing home deaths was. I'm betting the suggestion that the deaths were caused by staffers is totally idiotic; and, that the deaths were caused by GOVERNOR CUOMO'S idiotic Death order

Some people died of something.

Bullshit. If it was Giuliani who signed this order instead of Cuomo, I wonder if he would get a pass.

You are FakeNews

Cuomo investigated himself and found he did nothing wrong.

WOW!!! classic Democrat move, DEFLECTION.

Cuomo fucked up bigtime.

BULLSHIT.

Sure, Karen

Why isn’t media raising hell on NYGovCuomo NYCMayor NYCHealthCommr ?!?! Why aren’t NY’ers horrified at the way Cuomo has handled this?!? His nursing home mandate killed thousands — & Cuomo is actively destroying NYC now w/his egomaniac games

This is total BS...this story isn’t what happened at all. Is the AP covering for NY and Cuomo?What about the other states that followed with similar results?

Bullshit. Cuomo mandated they take covid patients

fakenews This was intentional and murder deep state news service.

FU

Many died due to Cuomo's admin.

And the media never challenged the state officials? When it is a Democrat they leave the discussion hanging

Weird how the state officials who are responsible for policy disagree they were responsible and blame others. Odd that.

Well it was.

That’s not how it works.

NYGovCuomo NursingHomeKiller

Time to play “Pass the Buck”, NY version. 🙄

JaniceDean

What are you going to believe? Your eyes or a lying politician?

Haha Cuomo is pure scum

Lol

Bull to the shit

“Pay no attention to the smoking guns. Those are just a coincidence.”

Really? Do people really believe this nonsense? Well, perhaps stupid people!

I love how a Democrat is quite literally responsible for literally thousands of deaths and the media is doing all it can to cover it up while focusing on Trump saying mean words they don’t like.

It's like the young man arrested for armed robbery and the cops have him on video, fingerprints and DNA and his mother turns him in. His statement to the cops...Dindooit

“State officials say their decision to send highly contagious patients into tight quarters with those most vulnerable to COVID mortality had nothing to do with the sky high death rate in New York so it’s probably totally true” - this tweet, LOL.

So 2+2 is not 4?

Oh ok

Libs always blame someone else.

Liars

Sheeeit

'We've investigated ourselves and found we've done nothing wrong.' -NYGovCuomo -ChrisCuomo -CuomoPrimeTime

BS! Fake news!

That's what the elites do. They lie.

Stupidity!

NYGovCuomo should be held accountable.

Uh ok....

Why would 'the state' admit they are to blame?

State offical can suck my balls! They are the ones who made the policy to send sick people to nursing homes! The median age of people dying to this virus is 78. Also 5 other low iq democrat states followed this dumb policy!

Them state officials are so full of shit they need a pallet of laxatives.

So how this worked was the Nursing Homes agreed they could provide and created wards for protection and the staff was to be tested consistently. The order was on the Nursing Home to provide for Covid care for staff and residents.

DarthWinston Ummmm. I don’t believe this.

Shame on you NYGovCuomo

Hello? Do you know who issued an executive order making this policy mandatory?

Nah.. that's total bullshit.. Cuomo Is fully to blame for those 6,300 deaths.. he should get 1 year in prison for each person he sent to their deaths..

If only there was an informational organization that could investigate these obviously illogical claims by NY state officials......

Yeah right. Cuomo should resign.

If you didn’t think Cuomo was the worst, most murderous governor in the country before, this should seal it for you. This is some Goebbels level shit.

The AP's job is now to repeat what corrupt and inept Governments tell them without question. Just like most other US media, you are useless.

I would say to those public officials that NY nursing homes got the Cuomovirus...

Liars!

The lying baby killer killed them

Couple bad policies for nursing homes with misclassification of deaths with Covid as caused by Covid and boom, you have an epidemic and you scare 90% of Americans. shamdemic

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Enemy of the people

Nice of them to do your job for you. Our patience has its limits!

State officials- especially Cuomo- lied.

Riiiiigggghhhhtttttt. CuomoKilledGrandma

Investigate Howard Zucker.

kerpen Is that the reason Cuomo’s been undercounting nursing home deaths?

Bullshit.

I'll just leave this here.

AndrewCuomo NYSerialKiller

They are DEFINITELY responsible for nursing homes deaths. This is gaslighting

kaylibmusic Holy shit, real journalism. Forgot what it looked like.

Lugenpresse.

emmy600 10,000 dead because of cuomo

Lmfao read the headline again to yourselves out loud. Stop lying! We know where most of the covid deaths came from. Thanks NYGovCuomo!

Lucy24Smith

OMG they cease to amaze me.

One of the most blatant blame-games I've ever seen

These democrat politicians are brutal folks! They only care about power. They certainly don’t care abo it people. I will never understand why the knuckleheads from New York continue to vote for democrats when they continue to crap on the citizens. Only New Yorkers. 🤦‍♂️

So andrewcuomo is good blaming medical staff to save his own ass? Stellar!

POTUS this is a damn disgusting lie

Cuomo murdered senior citizens. He is trying to deflect blame.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣we aren’t that naive

'State officials say it wasn't their fault' do you believe them?

If I was Cuomo I would say that too, do you actually think he going to admit killing all those Seniors. I call for a Federal Investigation!

cuomohasbloodonhishands

Stop defending this!

Sure Jan.

absolutely had nothing to do with it

ltaford From hero's to scapegoats. Health care workers sure fell quick.

OMG! Who believes this bullshit?

Super Mario Cuomo signed the order to release those patients to nursing homes.....But he’s apparently Teflon Don because Fredo works at CNN.

And who believes any of that crap.

Whatever

Omg can NYGovCuomo sink any lower with his blame game. CUOMO KILLED GRANDMA & GRANDPA

Gaslighting in real-time. Such utter bullshit. The sheer audacity, and the blithe confidence of claiming Cuomo’s nursing home policy had nothing to do w/ the high death rate in NY is astounding.

And your 'responsible journalism' is going to leave it at that? How about accuse .NYGovCuomo and his idiot Health Commissioner of being the murderers that they are! CuomoIsAMurderer

Good job. NYGovCuomo. Vilify nurses instead of accepting responsibility yourself.

This was failed policies from the president on down except the workers. Stop blaming the innocent and take responsibility. 1st it was trump and not taking it seriously so he didn't prepare the country and said you are on your own. 2nd was cuomo for making and enforcing such a

Uh huh

Culminations knowingly sent them there to die - murder.

Cuomo:

So, Cuomo investigated Cuomo, and found out it wasn't his decisions that were at fault. You guys really have no self awareness, do you?

Lying assholes. NYGovCuomo

InspiringProdu2 this is why their are so many dead bodies from coronavirus thanks to Democrat Cuomo he should be in prison.

Blaming the workers. Nice.

If you believe this lie by NYGovCuomo you're not journalists.

Disingenuous to the core.

You keep telling yourself that...

Holy shit. Y’all really are just the biggest dumbasses in the world, eh?

Will the AP question NYGovCuomo about this? Will anyone in the msm hold this governor accountable? Does anyone in the msm give two shits about anything this rogue governor does?

White collar workers with paid sick leave seem to overlook that these aren't great paying jobs. You can continue to expect people to come to work sick when they have no paid sick leave. No work = no pay and they can't afford that.

Impeach and arrest Cuomo! He destroyed countless families with this order. He let thousands suffer and die alone. He denied families the right to say goodbye. He is a demon.

Sureeeeee. They messed up terribly and media covers for cuomo. Sad.

Complete and total garbage. Cuomo is absolutely responsible for the horrible and unnecessary deaths of thousands of nursing home patients in NY

Take everything 'officials' say with a dose of scepticism. Grifters gonna grift.

This is murder.

Omg so they're blaming the workers, what a crappy thing to do Cuomo and BiBlasio couldn't go lower.

FakeNews

Blame-O-Meter in action.

cc NYGovCuomo

Yeah time to hold cuomo accountable for once.

If state officials stated that prolonged heavy rains don't cause flooding would you believe them?

Lies. Damned lies.

😂

Michigan governor did the same thing put COVID-19 patients in nursing homes and over a thousand elderly people died because the got Covid-19 from the patient sent to the nursing homes. People still can’t go and visit their family members in nursing homes.

Great Job Andy & Howard! NYGovCuomo

Wow. Remember when the press reported facts instead of throwing healthcare workers under the bus to protect a governor with nipple rings.

Look who purposely put them there. KillerCuomo PedoNewsome NaziWhitmer Wolfinsheepsclothing

This is an absolute fraud. The policy most definitely WAS the cause and the AP running cover is sickening.

NFL players kneeled more than 6300 times this year during the national anthem, but it will have nothing to do with the huge drop in their ratings.

Total lie.

Cuomo did that!!!!!!!!!!

NYCMayor NYCMayorsOffice NYGovCuomo You guys are a joke.

The media is the disease.

How can anyone believe such bs?

What a disgusting lie.

Wow. They think we're absolutely stupid.

Bullsh't.

That’s about the biggest load of bullshit I’ve ever read.

Spin ....

Cuomo investigated himself and found that he wasn't at fault?

Barnes_Law Laughable

Gotta cover for the family Cuomo. Shameful assumptions when we know what caused these deaths

He literally signed a bill to make this happen

ClayTravis

.Hello AP: have you lost the last shred of your soul and integrity with this foolish story? EVERYONE in NYC knows it is NYGovCuomo and NYCMayor 's policy re: covid outpatient care that killed these people. DO YOUR JOB Do your Homework hannity

And HOW did the staffers get infected, Einstein? From the RECOVERING NURSING HOME PATIENTS!

Sounds like murder to me

LOL! Just like protesters didn’t spread the corona virus🙄

Chicago gangbangers fired more than 6,300 shots. But state officials say the guns weren't to blame for a high death toll and point to victims who got out of the way too slowly.

Barnes_Law If we had an unbiased media, they would destroy Cuomo over this. And if wishes were fishes, we'd all have enough to eat.

Factual but not truthful, they are the enemy of the people.

He's telling you exactly what will happen if there's a 2nd wave. And no vaccine. When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time. ~Maya Angelou

NYC, NY and NJ are COVID DEATH ground zero.

Sounds like something you could investigate...nah you are more concerned with advocacy journalism than uncovering the truth Make 👏 journalism 👏 honest 👏 reporters 👏 again Quit choosing sides

NYGovCuomo investigated himself and found himself innocent. How convenient. Is that why he had his Executive Order scrubbed from State Health website?

EnemyOfThePeople

LIES!!!!!!

Yes, don't blame your leaders...it's the nurses who are to blame!

lies lies lies lies

So, just so were clear: putting 6,300 carriers into a closed environment loaded with tens of thousands of high risk people...that wasn’t the problem?

Blame trump

Nope

And....the earth is flat!

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂Righttttttt

Barnes_Law

This is a lie!

Editorializing nonsense.

Now blame the nurses. Cuomo won’t take any responsibility.

BULLSHIT ... we are wise to your lies!

Barnes_Law Nice try.

Wow. Blaming those risking their own lives to help those his asshole liberal policy killed. Voters deserve that son of a b for electing him

So Cuomo said Cuomo isn’t to blame? Please return to journalism school.

Your entire article is a lie! Cuomo put the policy into effect! But Cuomo knew per medical experts, plus Washington State information that the virus was deadly to the elderly. Cuomo committed premediated mass murder!

ap articles like this are the reason no one believes you.

Barnes_Law

This is awful. Someone needs to be accountable.

I find most people who are accused of killing thousands of people will deny responsibility, especially state officials.

Barnes_Law The fox watches the hen house, while a compliant media, fully vested in the fox, whistles and ignores it.

This is an out and lie to cover up for the SINS OF NYGovCuomo

JaniceDean said this is a Lie!!

Barnes_Law Democrats be deflecting lol. Use logic people...

Killer Cuomo

More lying from the !! Covering for NYGovCuomo who murdered those people in the nursing home by his actions!!

You mean the State Officials with blood on their hands? Can we perhaps obtain a second opinion?

I see and just how did they get infected?

You mean the people making $12 an hour?

Of course they won’t take ownership of sending virus into the heart of the most vulnerable. Only true leadership accepts mistakes

You mean politicians won't take responsibility for their policies consequences? Who could have seen this coming?

Lmao right

The Associated press is now the CNN of print journalism. Excuse me, print propaganda

AP is still a liar but Cuomo is still a mass murderer The Big Rotten Apple

The coronavirus can tell the difference between conservative and Leftist protesters AND tell the difference between patients and staff? This is some next-level science fiction shit right here.

annieb0823 So the Republicans are right.

Ohhh passing the buck onto the little guy, “nice”. 😒

JaniceDean 1927 & 2020 NY Murderers Row

Journalism is dead if you actually accept this self investigation and don’t hold NYGovCuomo accountable.

Way to hold government accountable by speaking truth to power

That was per Gov. Cuomo's orders (you left that part out of your article) So therefore Gov. Cuomo committed premeditated murder of the elderly! He knew from Washington State & many Health Experts that the Virus was more deadly to the elderly! He put the policy into effect anyway!

NYGovCuomo is solely to blame.

Cuomo Lied, People Died.

Don’t believe your lying eyes. 🙄 Leftists. They always gaslight. Always.

This is worthy of FakeNews CNN. Congrats, you hit the big time.

CorruptDemocrats CorruptDemocratStates CorruptFakeNewsMedia

Just stop...

Of course “State” officials say that covering NYGovCuomo butt

Captain ventilator should be charged with crimes against humanity

NYGovCuomo andrewcuomo & other Dem governors intentionally forced covid-19 infected elderly patients into their states’ nursing homes & elder care facilities in order to wipe them out. Negligent homicide & criminal conspiracy to deprive rights under color of authority!

Lies.

Apparently nursing home staffers are the only conceivable vectors of COVID-19 transmission.

DMVfanclub I'd imagine this would get a different tweet/headline if New York were a republican state.

¯\\_(ツ)_/¯

Democrats investigates theirselves and found they were not responsible! NYGovCuomo is a murderer CuomoKilledGrandma

canlungdoc These are not the Jedi you're looking for 😒

Scientifically that makes ZERO sense. Anyone pushing this has no business calling anyone else a science denier ever. Cuomo should not have qualified immunity against civil claims.

Commie Cuomo killed

Because they got infected by people who shouldn't have been sent there.

is tweeting, as news, what Cuomo tells them.

lang2007 Yeah they didn't look at the facts he just went to blame the nursing home staff the easy way out nothing to do with them stuffing infected patients into nursing homes huh

You think we’re idiots. Why did Cuomo have his orders taken down off of the NY government website. These orders right here:

And most will call bullshit on this.

So the people responsible for the deaths say they are not responsible? Hey, good enough for me! Nice reportering folks

NYGovCuomo is a piece if shit.

Oh well as long as state officials said it wasn’t a reason, all good now....

Amazing, NYGovCuomo (and media) how selective the virus is! No way it jumped from infected hospital patients - it was the fault of the hospital employees!

Basically Cuomo covering his own a$$

No matter how many times you say it - Andrew Cuomo signed the order and basically killed nursing home patients. His state, his responsibility. Cuomo is callous.

He investigated himself and found he nothing wrong. Color me shocked🙄

This is bullshit and you should be calling them out on it, ya know, like journalists are taught to do...

Recovering patients go to nursing homes.

Democrat establishment kills thousands. Should be the headline.

DemocratsTheEnemyWithin

Oh yes. It's all the health workers fault. Not your precious liberal, incompetent governor.

Yeah! .. And protests won't spread the virus Unless you're a republican

Remember they had thousands of empty beds at field hospitals.

Then what was?

😂😂😂

Give me a break.

Of COURSE they say that. 🤦‍♂️

Major yikes Fredo ChrisCuomo

Lmfao, he's gonna throw the brave front line workers under the bus for his dumbass policy? And then their Union is going to forget all about it and endorse him next time he runs. These people are unbelievable. 🤦‍♂️

I'm just gonna face plan on this one. 🤦🏾‍♀️

Are you actually saying this with a straight face?

Bullshit

Riiiiiiiggghhht

Liars- defundAP

I had no idea NYGovCuomo wrote for the AP

KillerCuomo

Complete BS. Cuomo is to blame

kerpen Shocking, the people who caused the enormous death in LTC refuse to take blame for their treachery. Shocked I tell ya shocked

THIS IS SIMPLY NOT TRUE. We got our temperatures checked every shift and they began testing all employees as soon as they could. No one with any symptoms worked.

Fact is, Cuomo’s decision killed these patients!!!

But muh Luv Gov

It doesn't get any more 'Democrat' than that!

ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE

NewYorkValues

Whose written policy was it to shove the elderly into contagion camps.

Man that is Huff Post level spin right there. How do you think the staff got it? How can you even write this?

Infected staffers (mostly dressed in PPE) is a problem but infected patients are not?

Staffers, you mean the 'heroes' you were admonishing us all to revere and sacrifice for? F*ck Albany and .andrewcuomo for passing the buck

The Nursing Home Butcher

What a crock of sh1t, sure blame the essential workers. Not the assh0le that made the policy.🤬🤬🤬

NYGovCuomo is a murderer and purposely killed Elderly for federal funds for his failed policies!

“Death to the Elderly”, brought to you by NYGovCuomo. Soon to be a Broadway musical if Broadway ever opens again.

Bullsh!t!

liar presstitutes liberalhack DNCpuppet cuomodeathcount cuomovirus

Bullshit.

This is BS smh

Lmao

Why aren't people listening to government officials?

Governor Cuomo chose to put the sick in with the most vulnerable. It’s like lighting a match and throwing it in gasoline

What 'state officials ' said this Please name them.

If trump were on top of daily briefings and in control of the country this would have been a total different story. Blame where it should be the president

No

Yet New Jersey leads deaths per 1,000,000 and New York is close second. They instead want to paint the increased positive tests as problematic while ignoring the death rates in said states.

Glad we’re back explaining “context(D)”

BS

Well, if THEY say so.

willchamberlain Governor Cuomo sent 6,300 coronavirus infected patients into nursing homes. How can someone with a high school diploma, write a more accurate account, than your university educated journalists?

Nah...city and state leaders own it, not the first line workers; you’re propaganda machine is fucked

Only somebody with their head buried in the sand with believe that the governor sent people into nursing homes to die

How did the working get infected? From the incoming corona patients.

You have no shame and are truly FakeNews! You are a PR firm for the DNC and the leftist agenda. No one that has is awake believes your lies and you have no one to blame but yourselves. EnemyOfThePeople

yeah, well, 'state officials' and the AP are FakeNews.

More activist media carrying water for Killer Democrat Leaders

I call bullshyt

The cause was KillerCuomo

So you think we are idiots and believe this BS headline. Got it

One would have to be the worlds biggest idiot to think placing tens of thousands of COVID patients into nursing home's with elderly didn't

Cuomo is the biggest mass murderer in US history.

Okay, ask yourself...WHY? Why were they sent to Nursing Homes? Okay, next question...who ordered that?

Imagine placing blame on staffers who were taking care of people just so you can deflect blame away from NYs shitty governor NYGovCuomo. 🙄🤥😡 Really this is so repulsive.

Lol

Whoever issued this statement deserves to be fired, shamed and possibly imprisoned.

But his car is waxed up and clean now for his tinder dates 🙄🤡🖕

This is a joke?

kerpen Let the coverup continue. propaganda coronavirus

55000 deaths in US from such facilities - over 4 months in , excessive labeling and still this happened in 2 months :

They're lying.

Gtfo with the BS! 😡

If only those staffers had been protesting...all this death could’ve been avoided.

This is a test. They want to know if they 1. Can kill a large group of people. 2. Get media to uncritically report on it. 3. Produce a “report” blaming others. 4. Repeat. They are on step 4.

Maybe the media's hero, NYGovCuomo, could have followed the media's anti-hero, GovRonDeSantis lead. I'll take DeSantis' leadership over the incompetent Cuomo any time.

Bullshit. If this was so, then this would have happened in every state. But it only happens in New York and Democrat states. Cuomo and Democrat voters with bloody hands.

So the leaders who put the policy in place are blaming workers carrying out the policy plan? Essentially placing blame on healthcare workers. Shameful. NEW RULE: How about we blame the virus instead of each other. The virus is an apolitical killer preying on the sick and elderly

willchamberlain How did the staffers get infected? Were they not being screened each day?

Cuomo the coward should be arrested. How many of those were black? We need those stats ASAP.

Cuomo is a MURDERER. Fixed it for you.

Do your damn job cnn msnbc

The fact that you actually think people believe this drivel is hilarious. You post garbage like this to cover a politician, and then you wonder why the media is universally hated.

Can always count on Cuomo to make sure the buck stops with the common folk as he continues to accept no responsibility.

🤥 ^10th power

It takes a lot to surprise me in July of 2020. But this statement from the State of NY is really *stunning*. It's not that these officials saying this are stupid... It's that they think all of us are stupid enough to believe this ridiculous explanation.

willchamberlain 'It wasn't my failed policies. It was them!' -Every democrat politician

🌈🌈🌈🌈🤡🌈🌈🌈🌈

Are you kidding. Ridiculous.

Bullshit.

lol

lmao

This is beyond ridiculous...the media is dead...no one can be trusted. This article is not based in reality

Just like mass protests are immune from COVID, so apparently are nursing home tenants, or so says the Governor of NY. What a fraud!

Murder she wrote.

Lol sure thing

“We investigated ourselves & discovered that we did nothing wrong” - every tyrant in history

State officials are lying. NYGovCuomo has blood on his hands for this.

. Liars. But anything to help your Marxist buddies huh?

Don't blame the hospitals, they don't have the room or space and nurses are over worked.

Oh bullshit - and we all know it. Cuomo’s order to force nursing homes to take in COVID patients resulted in THOUSANDS of unnecessary and easily avoidable deaths. Guess which governor was smart and barred COVID from nursing homes in March?

Trump was right!

So, Cuomo is going to blame the dedicated health care workers for the LTC deaths. What a scumbag he is.

Psst... they’re liars, pass it on.

Cuomo's Executive Order FORCED nursing homes to take them!!! Wtf are you not comprehending?

Those state officials are lying.

100% B.S.

Yes it was his fault. His executive order. He later reversed it after many died.

NY state officials say the state of NY was not to blame for the high death count in the state of NY. Oh, well that's convincing.

If you asked me, this is how I would have thought happened: -Hospital releases patient to nursing home. -Staffer works with Covid + patient, gets sick. -Staffer gets other coworkers sick -Staffer and coworkers encounter other nursing home residents. -residents get sick. Die.

Nice work trying to cover for your boy, Governor Cuomo. Well done with the unnamed “state officials”. Oh, & the blaming the front line workers? Genius! More precisely, fuck this bullshit. This directive killed people & no amount of attempted historical revision is changing it

Cuomo is GARBAGE.

I call BS!

Just wait for AP’s headline: Maxwells two shots into the back of her head in prison were obviously a result of Covid causing her to commit suicide.

Let’s not rewrite history, here...This is Cuomo’s baby

Of course they would say that. Otherwise they (and not Pres Trump) are responsible for all those deaths—which of course they are.

Haha shit to be believe and this...they do not intersect

LMAO!!!

And you report this uncritically?

U smell that? Smells like bullshit

Okay...

It's more incompetence from Cuomo. NY, wake up and if you leave please don't come to Florida!

The Luv Guv is a total disaster. This was preventable.

Allowing infected staffers to continue working in nursing homes was also the official policy of the Cuomo administration state Health Department who put out guidelines saying it was OK for them to do so.

We don’t believe you

NYGovCuomo is a murderer .

Like GovMikeDeWine in Ohio, NYGovCuomo doesn’t give a shit about our fragile elderly. murderers

Are these the same NY state officials who hid nursing home deaths, or the same NY state officials who issued a blanket 'Do-Not-Resuscitate' order for cardiac victims?

P.S. And also, the protest didn’t spread the virus at all. Seriously, AP news.

Baloney ShameOnGovCuomo

They are blaming essential workers for their policy failures? DISGUSTING AND EVIL!!!!

No mater how hard you try, can’t rewrite history so long as there’s a Wayback Machine.

Haha way to spin it

What a shock that NY officials did not find fault with their own policy...

Suuure

.NYGovCuomo Where are the facts to back up that releasing 6,300 recovering coronavirus patients into nursing homes at the pandemic's height didn't increase the nursing home death toll? It reminds me of March when NYCMayor said on TV that masks were not needed to ride the subway

Sounds like another scam.

Is that what they say? Ha

WTF.

who are the 'state officials'?

It’s not my fault it’s not my fault!!! It’s the boogie man or the man in the moon or trump

Wait.....the very same workers thay Cuomo defended when Trump spoke of the cases of workers stealing PPE......THOSE workers are now being blamed for the deaths

How did the workers get infected in the first place?

If it was the UK the Prime Minister BorisJohnson would blame the nursing homes for the spread of Covid19

Read the executive order... He also signed an executive order to shield nursing home executives and hospital executives from litigation.

Not going to offer push back onto this blatantly false narrative they are pushing? Are you journalists or not?

But this happened everywhere. Seniors who were lucky to survive and were from nursing homes went back. It was the only place they could go. Relative experience here Indiana.

Released covid positive...?

Lmaoooooooooooo

How exactly did the staffers become infected.

That's right, blame the people stuck taking care of sick people. Y'all SUCK!

So you’re telling me, they put still-contagious patients into nursing homes with the most vulnerable people inside to free up hospital beds so those NH folks can then go to the hospital because they got sick from those same patients?! Make it make sense....

It was.

Sure Governor trying to avoid blame for his stupidity ... there were plenty of hospitals with beds

🐂💩

😂😂 now you just sound plain stupid, how can you say that with a straight face? What a joke

Is this real?

So no matter how you spin it, sending them to nursing homes caused it...

There’s a big difference between sending the recovering / non-contagious into care homes vs. knowingly sending infectious or untested seniors there. The latter happened here in England due to govt policy & it’s fast becoming a national scandal. I don’t think this happened in NY.

Yet they left the mercy navy ship empty. Hmmm

Bullshit. Cuomo owns this...

killerCuomo killed thousands... complete failure for being an idiot ... No matter how you spin it, he directed positive patients into the most high risk people in the state

State officials say state officials aren’t to blame for a high nursing home death toll.

This is sick! They intentional killed the elderly. This is no different than Euthanasia.

How much did DiBlasio pay you to print this FAkeNews?

Amazing part is Cuomo gets free pass because he blames Trump

So this is why cumo like Pritzker are always attacking, caue they have blood in there hands governor New York

State officials = Cuomo News Network

So Joe Biden finally decided to hit the campaign trail, eh?

Anyone care to share this with Andrew Cuomo, Chris Cuomo or Jim Acosta? All pushing to wear surgical masks to stop the spread even though you’re better off sticking cotton balls in your nostrils and a sock in your mouth.

The gaslighting is strong this year, very, very strong.
