Cuomo Aides Spent Months Hiding Nursing Home Death Toll

Where could those people going back to nursing home go? I'm assuming that if another facility or their family could have taken them they would have opted for that. Reminder that likely these people needed 24/7 skilled nursing help.

45 other states found ways to safely handle this scenario.

Either properly supply your nursing homes with PPE or bring the nursing home staff to the hospitals.

The PPE that was acutely in short supply and unavailable at the beginning of the pandemic? Even doctors and nurses didn't have adequate PPE back then, and many of them got sick and died because of it.

Source of people dying due to lack of PPE?

As I understand it, there was always a low supply, not no supply.

Other states managed to supply their nursing homes just fine.

Seems like rationalization. Cuomo never came out and said this was caused by lack of PPE.

Unless you have a source that they weren't able to equip their nursing homes due to supply issues you are assuming.

And if there aren't enough bodies to meet that requirement, then what?
