Cuomo Gets a Nursing Home Inspection - ⁦@WSJwsj.com/articles/cuomo…
“Mr. Cuomo decreed on March 25 that “no resident shall be denied re-admission or admission because of a virus diagnosis. He prohibited homes “from requiring a hospitalized resident who is determined medically stable to be tested” for the virus before admission.”
“Yet, Mr. Cuomo continued to send recovering Covid patients back to nursing homes even when there were plenty of surge beds—both in a U.S. Navy hospital ship, and the Javits Center. A Brooklyn NH asked the state to transfer patients to these field hospitals. Mr. Cuomo said NO.”
“Mr. Cuomo’s administration has reported only deaths that occur while in NH (6,600) while other states report the total number of NH residents who die. Many die in hospitals. @AP reports that surveys show there are 13,000 more empty nursing home beds this year than expected.”

On March 25th, 2020, @andrewcuomo and @HealthNYGov issued a statewide advisory barring nursing homes from denying admission to patients solely on the basis of a suspected or confirmed Covid-19 diagnosis. Nursing homes were not given an
advance notice of this order:
This mandate was in place for 46 days and brought in over 9,000 infected patients without families being notified. The order was scrubbed from the @HealthNYGov website. It was revealed in an investigation that @andrewcuomo covered up the death toll by at least 50%.
AMDA (Society for Post-Acute and Long-Term Care Medicine) expressed deep concern stating: “We find the New York State Advisory to be over-reaching, not consistent with science, unenforceable, and beyond all, not in the least consistent with patient safety principles.”

My friend @rontkim’s response to @GovKathyHochul’s announcement of an after action review of the pandemic response including nursing home deaths: “After months of asking for an independent investigation into the State's handling of the nursing home crisis,
I'm encouraged to see the Governor taking the first step towards getting closer
to the truth for our grieving families. I believe there are three open questions that must be addressed:
1) What was the impact of the
deadly March 25th order that sent 9,000 COVID-positive patients into unprepared nursing home facilities?

2) What was the purpose of the broad corporate legal immunity that stripped away patients rights on
the homes' ability to deliver proper care?

Everyone need to listen the interview with @shelleyzross with @megynkelly about the behavior and character of @ChrisCuomo and @andrewcuomo on @MegynKellyShow. It’s a very revealing look at these brothers and why both of them have gotten away with this behavior for far too long.
“It’s a con game to them. They enable each other.”
“He’s a good liar. He’s a convincing liar.” @shelleyzross on @ChrisCuomo about wanting accountability for his behavior.

Tomorrow on the 20th anniversary of September 11th our family will be visiting my husband’s firehouse where they lost all the men on duty that day.

Here are the faces of Engine 40 Ladder 35 who ran bravely towards the danger, into the burning towers to try and save others.
Their names are:
Frank Callahan,
Kevin Bracken,  
Michael D’Auria,
Lieutenant John Ginley,
Steve Mercado,
Michael Roberts,
Michael Otten,
Jimmy Giberson,
Dan Marshall,
Bruce Gary,
Michael Lynch,
Vincent Morello
This picture was taken a few months after September 11, 2001 for a @VanityFair piece about the surviving firefighters of @FDNY Engine 40/Ladder 35. The writer was David Halberstam. The photographer @JonasKarlsson. My husband Sean is on the far right.

I’ve met a lot of good friends here since May of 2020 when I decided to speak out against @andrewcuomo. I just want to thank all of you for your love, support, encouragement and prayers because they helped.
2) I’m not sure what happens now, but tonight I feel some justice that a leader who abused his power for so long will be without something that made him feel like he could take advantage of others without repercussions. And tomorrow will be a new day filled with a bit of hope.
3) To those who made fun of me or my profession or where I work, or who cruelly lashed out at my family, my sister in law, or my husband, you may have thought you were crushing my spirit. But you only made me want to fight harder, speaker louder and keep going.

My mom flew home last night on @AirCanada. She had huge issues flying here two weeks ago with delays/cancellations and hours at airport terminals with no food or water. Yesterday she left New York once again with an awful story.
2) The flight from New York to Toronto was fine but she had a connecting flight to London, Ontario where she lives. The lineup was so long at customs she missed her connecting flight, had to pick up her luggage and wait in line for customer service.
3) You can’t get through to @AirCanada on the phone (over 2 hour wait to talk to someone) so she called me crying. I DM’d an agent on twitter who said they would book her on a flight then next day but they could not tell me where she would stay overnight.
