Cuomo on the DoJ Investigating His Nursing Home Order: ‘Conspiracy with No Factual Basis’

‘What happened in nursing homes is the disease came in with the staff’

EXCERPT:

CUOMO: “If you look at how many people died in New York nursing homes, New York is number 46 out of 50 states in the percentage of deaths in nursing homes. The way the law works is no nursing home in New York can accept a patient if they don’t believe they can care for that patient adequately, and if they can do it within the — within the safety of their facility. So the conspiracy they’re trying to -- to spread just has no factual basis, but yes, people in nursing homes died, and they’re playing politics with the issue, which I think is especially cruel because people who lost loved ones in a nursing home, they’re dealing with it, and now they also have to deal with the confusion or the pain of maybe government did this.”
