More than 4,300 recovering coronavirus patients were sent to New York's already vulnerable nursing homes.
The state directive, which said nursing homes could not refuse to accept patients from hospitals who had been diagnosed with COVID-19, was issued on March 25.
It was ultimately scrapped amid widespread criticism that it was accelerating the nation's deadliest outbreak as patients went into the homes and infected more residents ultimately leading to more than 5,800 nursing and adult care facility deaths in New York.
The Associated Press compiled its own tally to find out how many coronavirus patients were discharged from hospitals to nursing homes after New York's Department of Health and Mental Hygiene declined to release its internal survey conducted two weeks ago.

This is truly a crime against humanity those poor people that were living in the nursing homes and assisted living homes should never have been exposed to thosecoronavirus patients
Where is the Lawyers? Class action against Cuomo and wrongful death lawsuits, since he wanted the States to have full control and Cuomo made this decision of death against the elderly.
A class action suit is on the way.
Cuomo has much blood on his hands. What an absolute moron, just like his father and brother.

They are on it. I heard the ambulance chasers who get people to go around and pay low level employees like the CNA's to give them contact info of the people who died are all over the lower income neighborhoods in Queens and Brooklyn. They are also hitting it hard with TV advertising in certain areas.
Why weren’t they sent to the Javets Center?
And this guy is the governor of New York? SMH DAMN
