    I’m still don’t understand the methodology for how the agency was able to determine that the 3/25 directive was not a "driver of nursing home infections or fatalities.”https://twitter.com/TomPreciousALB/status/1280156958092406784 …

    Josefa Velásquez added,

    Tom Precious @TomPreciousALB
    Here is the Cuomo admin's 33-page report that concludes, basically, that NYS policy issued 3/25 re mandatory admission of Covid+ patients by state-reg nursing homes was not "a significant factor" for thousands of nursing home deaths in New York State. https://health.ny.gov/press/releases/2020/docs/nh_factors_report.pdf …

        The state Dept. of Health argues that the highest of COVID+ residents entered nursing homes 4/14, a week after the peak mortality in nursing homes. If the admissions of + residents were driving the fatalities, those dates should have been reversed, DOH says.

        That conclusion runs counter to what we know about the virus— that just one person with COVID-19 can infect several people, setting off a wild fire.

        It’s difficult for reporters to fact check the Cuomo administration on this. Nursing home fatality by county of residence was first released on April 13. Nursing home fatality by individual home was released April 15. We can only track change in figures from that point forward.

        The “peak mortality” in nursing homes mentioned in the report might not account for NH residents who died at a hospital since deaths among residents are counted as those who died in the facility, not outside of it. The true scope of how many NH residents died is still unknown

        Who is being counted and how could very much throw a wrench in the Department of Health’s conclusion that the March 25 directive was “not a driver.” Unless we know the exact methodology, this “report” is just the state Dept. of Health validating itself.

        They investigated themselves and found no evidence of wrongdoing

        Of course they did. I'm surprised that anyone is surprised. It's just the way things are done in Cuomoland.

        Because that's the outcome he wants. And he seems to think he'll be allowed to skate on this.
