The guy is a total psychopath. Seriously, And everyone that carried his water and celebrated him for the last year has the same blood on their hands he does.

Let me see... Placing COVID positive patients with COVID negative people who are highly susceptible to infection from the virus..... Cuomo really is that stupid or just that big of a psychopathic murderer... I'm going with the later as he was trying to make Trump look bad....
The directive was for nursing homes to take back in their own residents that were sent to the hospital, but were now recovered enough to be sent home....
- and to put them in a ward set up, specifically for covid positive residents, separate from non infected nursing home residents
- to have a separate nursing aide staff that attends to the positive covid residents that does not care for the non infected normal residents.
- with a separate wing entrance that the nursing aids entered and exited
- with added air filtration systems if possible....
And a bunch of other steps to take.
And if the nursing home did not have space or ability to set up these separate covid wards or wings, then they had to place the covid returning patient, in to another nursing home facility that had space to have a separate covid ward.
These guidelines initially came from the CDC to the Agency over nursing homes, who sent out their guidelines for nursing homes.....to all States.
I think the problem came from nursing homes NOT following those guidelines, and states like New York not checking on those nursing homes to see if there were any problems.... or making it easy for NY nursing homes to reach the State dept of health, for help of any kind.
The problem is that almost NONE of the nursing homes had ANY of those things in place yet Cuomo's mandate forced them to take back infected patients! Cuomo has tried to blame it on the nursing homes but it's obvious that those nursing homes didn't want those patients back because THEY grasped how dangerous it was! The question then becomes...why didn't Cuomo and his people? Why did it take them WEEKS to rescind that order even after it was brutally obvious that Covid was ravaging New York State's nursing homes?
