20 May 2020: Cuomo Blames President Trump for Nursing Home Deaths

Gov. Cuomo: ‘Ask President Trump’ about nursing home deaths

This article reports on Governor Cuomo's attempt to blame President Trump for nursing home deaths that occurred as a direct result of his state's policy. He claims the guidance the CDC issued is at fault, but if that were true, we would have seen COVID-19 infected patients transferred from hospitals to nursing homes in all states, instead of just a handful, like New York, New Jersey, Minnesota, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Illinois, to name the worst offenders.

Meanwhile other states following the exact same CDC guidelines adopted effective safeguards to prevent the contagion from spreading into nursing homes. New York Representative Elise Stefanik provided a rather complete refutation of Governor Cuomo's claim.
