During a recent discussion, concerns were raised about the handling of COVID-19 in New York, particularly regarding the state's nursing homes. The focus was on a directive issued on March 25th, which required nursing homes to accept COVID-positive patients without testing them first. This decision has been criticized for potentially leading to unnecessary deaths.
Former Governor Andrew Cuomo faced scrutiny for claiming he was unaware of the directive until a month later, despite his high level of involvement in daily briefings and decision-making. The lack of accountability and refusal to apologize for the consequences of the directive have raised further questions.
