9. Did Chris also suppress reporting of Andrew's Covid-19 nursing home fiasco

Andrew Cuomo’s Covid-19 nursing home fiasco shows the ethical perils of pandemic policymaking

The ethicists said that Cuomo’s conduct stands out not because the policy he put in place was especially egregious, but because he obscured public health data for political gain.

Cuomo wasn’t alone in prohibiting nursing homes from discriminating against patients based on their Covid-19 infection status — officials in other states with similar nursing home policies faced criticism, but managed to avoid career-threatening blowback.

Hospitals were truly overwhelmed, and data has shown the nursing home transfer policies were not the sole or primary drivers of Covid-19 nursing home deaths. The number of deaths that may have been caused by the policies remains unclear.

But then Cuomo hid the data.


Worse than sexual harassments, Andrew actually killed seniors by requiring nursing homes to take infectious Covid patients.
