Another covid scandal

[impact]

"A Staten Island nursing home administrator told Fox News in an exclusive interview that he and executives at other facilities were "petrified" by New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo's infamous March 2020 order that COVID-positive patients be placed in long-term care facilities rather than hospitals."

"However, Michael Kraus told Fox News correspondent Aishah Hasnie that his concerns were "shot down" by state officials. "

"Many facilities vocalized it," said Kraus. "They were petrified, but they were more petrified of the Department of Health ... once it [my concern] was shot down, I never spoke [about it] again."

"More than 15,000 people are confirmed to have died in New York state nursing homes and long-term care facilities from COVID-19. However, as recently as January 2021, the state reported a fraction of that number -- around 8,500 deaths. Critics blame Cuomo's order, which he rescinded in May 2020."

"The matter is reportedly under investigation by the FBI and the Brooklyn U.S. Attorney's office. Cuomo has admitted that things "should have been done differently," but stopped short of issuing an apology for the fiasco. "
