10 March 2021: Team Cuomo Super Interested in Finding Out What Nursing Home Data Feds Would Report

Exclusive: Cuomo Administration Questioned U.S. Health Officials About Nursing-Home Data

This article reveals that Cuomo administration officials were uniquely interested among officials in all states regarding what COVID-19 nursing home death data the federal government would be reporting when it began doing so in June 2020. They were worried they would conflict with the numbers they were claiming.

As it played out, New York state officials took full advantage of a loophole, since the federal officials would began their count in mid-May 2020. They realized the COVID-19 deaths of nursing home residents outside of nursing homes occurring before that date would not be registered in the COVID-19 death data the federal government would report.
