27 April 2020: Cuomo Begins Casting Blame on Others

Cuomo blames his refusal to help coronavirus-hit nursing home on Navy protocol

Why didn't Governor Cuomo send uninfected nursing home patients to the U.S.S. Comfort, the naval hospital ship sent by the U.S. Navy to take the load off New York City's nursing homes? This article shows an early attempt to deflect personal culpability and blame the Navy's policies along with the management of the non-profit nursing home that was overloaded with coronavirus patients because of his administration's policies.

Governor Cuomo also "ducked" a question about why New York hadn't set up dedicated nursing homes to take in COVID patients discharged from hospitals. It wouldn't be until November 2020 before New York would set any such facilities up, months after they would have done the most good. Strangely, they kept it quiet even after they had.
