10 March 2021: Families of NY Nursing Home Victims Call for Cuomo to Donate Millions of Pandemic Leadership Book Income

Families of nursing home victims say Cuomo should donate book money

This report indicates the family members of those who became infected with COVID-19 while living in nursing homes while the Cuomo administration's 25 March 2020 directive was in effect in New York and died are looking for Governor Cuomo to foot the bill for a memorial from the proceeds of his pandemic leadership book sales.

Daniel Arbeeny, whose 89-year-old father died in a COVID-19 stricken nursing home, told Fox News the money should be put in a fund for the victims' families.

"The best case scenario is the profits go to a fund for the grieving families. There should be a fund set up," Arbeeny said. "They have a 9/11 memorial. Losing in New York State 15,000 of our most vulnerable and cherished residents, family members, we need a memorial, and that should go to fund the memorial."

"A book publisher paid him seven figures and that was all based on a lie. So his pandemic response caused the deaths of thousands of nursing home patients that don't have a voice," he continued.

Based on book sales through 6 March 2020, Governor Cuomo is estimated to have been paid $2,977,000 for his pandemic leadership book.
