19 August 2020: Cuomo Rejects AP's Independent Analysis of NY COVID Nursing Home Deaths

Cuomo brushes back AP report of care home death undercount

Governor Cuomo is fighting back against the Associated Press' 11 August 2020 analysis that adds thousands more to the state's official total number of nursing home deaths attributed to COVID-19. The governor hasn't explained why the state is stonewalling media and state legislature requests for data on deceased nursing home residents during the state's coronavirus epidemic.
