“I think that was a mistake.”
After trying to play with percentages to sugarcoat NY's horrific death toll, we pressed the Democrats' star witness from yesterday’s @WaysandMeansGOP hearing.
He admitted what Gov. Cuomo did was wrong (1/7).

After trying to play with percentages to sugarcoat NY's horrific death toll, we pressed the Democrats' star witness from yesterday’s @WaysandMeansGOP hearing.
He admitted what Gov. Cuomo did was wrong (1/7).
Of course, the Democrats' star witness misconstrued the CDC's guidance in an attempt to defend the Governor, but he failed to read the entirety of the guidance (2/7)...
As @PolitiFact notes, “the CDC warned nursing homes to keep COVID-19 out of their facilities and said nursing homes can admit coronavirus patients, but only if they are able to properly care for them” (3/7). https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2020/jun/13/andrew-cuomo/new-yorks-nursing-home-policy-was-not-line-cdc/
@PolitiFact goes on to say, “However, in the month following the [NYS] March 25 advisory, nursing home operators felt that they had no choice but to accept these patients” (4/7). https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2020/jun/13/andrew-cuomo/new-yorks-nursing-home-policy-was-not-line-cdc/
"We knew from the beginning that that [order] could have a devastating impact on our nursing home."

“You were on our daily hospital calls...When the March 25 order from NYS was issued...were you in any way consulted?”
“No, I was not.”
Ms. Gould also saw how Gov. Cuomo ignored the medical community when he issued his deadly March 25th order. (6/7)

Ms. Gould and I also discussed how moving forward, we need a comprehensive strategy and real solutions to keep our nation’s parents and grandparents safe. #Congress must ensure states follow the proper best practices tailored to meet the community's specific needs (7/7).
