POST ANALYSIS: Cuomo's refusal to provide hospital death data meant that nursing home-linked COVID fatalities in NYC were under counted by 50-plus percent, an examination of new state data reveals -- nypost.com/2021/02/15/cuo…
- Nearly all of the 162 city nursing homes that reported COVID-19 deaths inside their walls — 152 — had residents die after being sent to hospitals for treatment.
- Hospital data caused COVID death toll at one facility to jump 1000%
"The city nursing home with the single largest number of residents who died in hospitals is Manhattan’s Upper East Side Rehabilitation and Nursing Center which has 52, nearly twice the 29 who died at the facility." -- nypost.com/2021/02/15/cuo…

Today is a day the governor runs the Metropolitan Transportation Authority!

Lehrer's question: You accepted the DOI report but the special response group -- accused of repeatedly roughing up protestors sans cause -- keeps responding to protestors. Why?
