27 May 2020: Cuomo Polls Poorly for Nursing Home Policy, What Laws May Cuomo Have Broken?

New Yorkers disapprove of Gov. Cuomo’s handling of nursing homes: poll

News detailing Governor Cuomo's delinquency in addressing the spread of the coronavirus epidemic in New York and is recent attempts to deflect responsibility for his state's policy forcing nursing homes to admit contagious coronavirus patients by blaming both President Trump and the CDC for it is starting to hurt his standing in public opinion polls.

Andrew Cuomo gave immunity to nursing home execs after big campaign donations

This article from the Guardian, a left-wing UK newspaper, connects the dots between campaign contributions from the state's government-regulated nursing home industry and the immunity from law suits for coronavirus deaths they were awarded just prior to the growing number of coronavirus deaths directly resulting from Governor Cuomo's deadly policies became a major scandal.

How is Gov. Cuomo Not Guilty of Involuntary Manslaughter?

This analysis considers what federal laws Governor Cuomo and New York's chief public health officer, Howard Zucker, may have violated in New York's coronavirus nursing home scandal. Here's the conclusion:

Given the state of knowledge on March 25, when Cuomo and Zucker enacted their policy, it is fair to say that New York’s policy amounted to a death sentence for many nursing home residents — deaths that would not have occurred but for this policy. And it is fair to say that both Cuomo and Zucker knew it. It is also textbook involuntary manslaughter. 18 U.S. Code § 1112, defines the federal crime of Manslaughter as the commission, “without due caution and circumspection, of a lawful act which might produce death.” The President should invite the AG to begin an appropriate investigation.

There's also the matter of how long the policy was allowed to continue after New York passed its peak in hospital resources being consumed because of the coronavirus epidemic, when the faulty reasoning that prompted state officials to initiate the policy no longer applied, which also appears to satisfy the federal legal definition for manslaughter. The sooner a federal investigation is mounted, the better.
