6 January 2021: Cuomo DOH Fines Nursing Homes for Missing Data Reporting Deadline

Team Cuomo's latest nursing-home hypocrisy

The lead paragraph to this article describes the Cuomo administration's glaring hypocrisy:

How rich: The state is fining nursing homes for missing deadlines to report data — by as little as a minute — while it has withheld its own figures on nursing-home COVID deaths for months.

The article also indicates the state's acknowledged COVID-19 nursing home death toll has risen with the state's latest surge.

The death tally is officially around 7,400, but the true number could be twice that because New York, unlike other states, doesn't count nursing-home residents who died in hospitals. The state does keep track of the total, but it won't release it. Which is outrageous. And inexcusable.
