28 June 2020: Cuomo Claims Nursing Home Seniors Are "Safer" from COVID Than Seniors' Own Homes

Andrew Cuomo: Elderly New Yorkers 'safer' from coronavirus in nursing homes than in own homes

This report covers Governor Cuomo's latest attempt to minimize the negative consequences of his coronavirus nursing home policies. Here, it is important to note that the Governor does not specify if seniors in nursing homes would have safer before he finally terminated New York's directive to force nursing homes to admit both infected and potentially infected patients without testing on 10 May 2020, nor how long after that policy ended before the claim might have become true, nor if he believes the claim might only be true now because his previous policies already killed off the most vulnerable residents in New York's nursing homes and assisted living facilities.
