New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo's top aides requested changes to a Covid-19 report that resulted in the death toll in nursing homes being significantly undercounted, people familiar with the report's production said

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s top advisers successfully pushed state health officials to strip a public report of data showing that more

than the administration had acknowledged, according to people with knowledge of the report’s production.in nursing homes, focused only on residents who died inside long-term-care facilities, leaving out those who had died in hospitals after becoming sick in nursing homes. As a result, the report said 6,432 nursing-home residents had died—a significant undercount of the death toll attributed to the state’s most vulnerable population, the people said.

The changes Mr. Cuomo’s aides and health officials made to the nursing-home report, which haven’t been previously disclosed, reveal that the state possessed a fuller accounting of out-of-facility nursing-home deaths as early as the summer. The Health Department resisted calls by state and federal lawmakers, media outlets and others to release the data for another eight months.

State officials now say more than 15,000 residents of nursing homes and other long-term-care facilities were confirmed or presumed to have died from Covid-19 since March of last year—counting both those who died in long-term-care facilities and those who died later in hospitals. That figure is about 50% higher than earlier official death tolls.

If anyone doubts that the Jan 6th was part of a Coup D’état to stop any investigations into the elections then just listen to The Director of the FBI who lied under oath. On Jan 4th the DC Mayor requested the Natl Gaurd be called out to protect the Capital

I wish the media would also cover governors who refused to publish NH data. AZ still has no idea of our NH death toll. Agenda?

'I lied to the people of my state and the world about the number of people dying in my jurisdiction during the biggest pandemic of the last 100 years. I will not resign nor will I be held accountable. Im embarrassed' Dude is taking half his playbook from the WHO

What does the brother say on CNN ? Asking for friend.

No one should be surprised by the actions of this arrogant sexual harassing pr**ck and his minions.. The Lord sees....

*Shocked face.

The real problem here is Cuomo is trying to figure out if the woman next to him is over or under 25. CuomoResign

Did more seniors die as a result? If not since when is manipulating statistics a high crime or treason?

Desantis Abbott They certainly don’t deserve pats on the back.

Click.

There's a word for that. Fraud.

I do not believe this

And this rich, white career criminal is still walking the streets. And We the People just allow it to continue. Shame on us, Shame on us.

Can we have more coverage on Rebekah Jones, the data analyst and whistleblower that DeSantis had arrested and jailed because she released the actual Covid death numbers in Florida?

Why is this an important story? genuinely asking

The media darling, the establishment’s hero, and Biden’s gold standard...AndrewCuomo knowingly lied by a huge number so that they could conclude that his directive was “not a significant factor in nursing home fatalities.”(Meaning he knew it was) the cover up proves the guilt

The way Cuomo/NYSDOH counted nursing home deaths after covid-19 is the way they have always counted them. When nursing home residents' conditions went south, the facilities would rush them to the hospital. If they died after leaving the facilities, they became hospital deaths.

I hear Sing Sing is nice this time of year.

Ghouls.

Happened in Michigan as well

Wow. And the only reason he’s even getting criticism now is because of the sexual harassment allegations, not even the thousands of people he killed...

dagenmcdowell Like this wasn’t predictable! Throw a few staff members under the bus so the big guy can keep rolling along.

dagenmcdowell We’ll never know the real CuomoBodyCount

I hope they like the view from under the bus.

Veja HOJE ACHEI UMA fakenews da globolixo e eles enganam o povo brasileiro. O rapaz não disse que era para a Raquel sair senão eles iriam matá-la. 'Ele disse que seria melhor ela sair daquele tumulto senão A POLÍCIA poderia matá-la. CUIDADO COM A GLOBO

They all should be going to jail. The bottom line Gov. Cuomo signed the order. Read the dotted line.

DOH confirmed and agreed that the data couldn't be verified and shouldn't be added to the list at the time they put data out. This headline makes it seem as if there was a cover-up in a state where their Governor was on top of things long before most states even bothered to act.

Don’t forget to buy his book “American Crisis: Leadership Lessons from the COVID-19 Pandemic by Andrew Cuomo” 😂😂

this is a wayyy bigger deal than the current sexual harassment allegations. the allegations need to be investigated before we can come to any substantial conclusion with them, but the governor's office already admitted to deceiving people with their report

This is terrible 😞

Now do Trump

By acknowledging is, did all the discounters acknowledge that covid19 is real?

good luck

a republican would never do this. Republicans are perfect

How is this not the end of Cuomo?

I like how they are no unnecessary march pushed by liberal American women.
