During a recent interview, former Governor Andrew Cuomo discussed his administration's controversial directive to send COVID-19 patients into nursing homes, which led to thousands of deaths. As he campaigns for mayor of New York City, Cuomo offered a vague apology but shifted blame to health care experts. He acknowledged the tragedy of the pandemic but insisted he followed the guidelines provided. He expressed frustration over the federal government’s slow response to testing and vaccines and claimed that criticism around nursing home deaths has been politically charged.
COVID was a horrendous, once-in-a-lifetime pandemic. It focused on nursing homes, as you know, because that's where COVID preyed the most.
I'm sorry for what they had to go through. It was horrific,
I get why the health department wanted these restrictions, but it was a terrible, terrible situation.
The topic was very political and very weaponized.
