Cuomo covering up mass murder. The revelation comes as New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo is under fire for his policies regarding nursing homes amid the coronavirus pandemic.
New York is the only state with large coronavirus outbreaks among its long-term care facilities that doesn’t count residents who died at a hospital.
Undeniably true. However, if you don't force nursing homes to accept patients with active cases of a deadly and highly contagious respiratory infection, it will happen less often. Which would be nice. https://t.co/fQFM9tnqxj

EXCLUSIVE: New York Admits Knowingly Undercounting Nursing Home Deaths After Quietly Changing Reporting Rules
- The New York State Department of Health acknowledged that its recent reporting does not fully reflect the known carnage coronavirus has caused among nursing home and adult care residents.
- The revelation comes as New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo is under fire for his policies regarding nursing homes amid the coronavirus pandemic.
- New York is the only state with large coronavirus outbreaks among its long-term care facilities that doesn’t count residents who died at a hospital.
- New York quietly changed the way it reports long-term care fatalities around April 28.
New York has omitted an unknown number of coronavirus deaths in recent reports regarding residents of nursing home and adult care facilities, the New York State Department of Health acknowledged in a statement to the Daily Caller News Foundation.
Story continues below advertisementIn early May, those reports quietly began omitting long-term care residents who died of coronavirus in hospitals. Even so, New York still leads the nation with 5,433 reported deaths at nursing homes and adult care facilities as of Wednesday.
The revelation comes as New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo faces criticism for ordering nursing homes and other long-term care facilities to accept patients from hospitals who had tested positive for coronavirus. Cuomo rescinded the March 25 order, which experts say led to higher levels of death among nursing home residents, on May 11 to allow such facilities to wait until a coronavirus patient tests negative before readmitting them.
The NYSDOH confirmed to the DCNF that until around April 28, it was disclosing coronavirus deaths for all nursing home and adult care facility residents, regardless of whether the patient died at their long-term care facility or at a hospital.
But the department made a subtle change to its disclosures beginning around May 3, according to web archives. The NYSDOH told the DCNF its disclosure now only reports coronavirus deaths for long-term care patients that died while physically present at their facility.
New York’s coronavirus tracker “currently does not include out of facility deaths,” NYSDOH spokeswoman Jill Montag told the DCNF. “Deaths of nursing home and adult care facility residents that occurred at hospitals is accounted for in the overall fatality data on our COVID-19 tracker.”
In other words, New York’s nursing home and adult care facility coronavirus deaths tracker omits any individuals who contracted coronavirus while living at a long-term care facility but died in a hospital.
Montag told the DCNF that the state is opting to not disclose out of facility deaths “in order to maintain consistency and reliability in the data as presented, and to avoid any potential for double-counting.”
But the reporting change has, in fact, resulted in inconsistencies in New York’s disclosure of long-term care coronavirus fatalities, particularly regarding deaths of residents of adult care facilities, which typically don’t have the medical capacity of nursing homes or hospitals.
New York reported on April 28 that there had been 644 deaths from residents of adult care facility residents who died at either the facility or at a hospital. Montag confirmed that the table “contained lab-confirmed and, in some cases, presumed COVID-19 deaths.”

But on May 13, after the state ceased disclosing long-term care residents who died at hospitals, New York reported a total of 165 coronavirus-confirmed and presumed deaths at adult care facilities — a reduction of 479 deaths from its disclosure 16 days prior.
Of the nine states with the largest coronavirus outbreaks at long-term care facilities, according to a New York Times tracker, New York is the only state that omits the deaths of residents who died at hospitals from its reporting.
Spokespeople for the health departments of New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Maryland and Massachusetts confirmed to the DCNF that their disclosures include coronavirus deaths of long-term care residents regardless of their place of death.
The health departments of California, Connecticut and Georgia all make clear in their reporting that their disclosures of long-term care residents who died of coronavirus includes those who died in hospitals. Connecticut’s reporting of nursing home deaths, for example, specifically “includes residents currently in-house, in the hospital, or who are deceased.”
The NYSDOH did not respond to the DCNF when asked if it disputes that the state is omitting at least 479 adult care facility residents that died from coronavirus at a hospital in its reporting on long-term care deaths.
The department also did not respond when asked what the health benefits are of concealing the deaths of long-term care residents who died in hospitals from its reporting on long-term care coronavirus fatalities
New York ceased reporting deaths of long-term care residents who died in hospitals the same day it unveiled 1,700 previously undisclosed deaths that occurred on the grounds of long-term care facilities from residents presumed to have coronavirus.
The change was made as Cuomo began facing increasing scrutiny from the media over his order forcing nursing homes to take in patients who had tested positive for coronavirus.
The president of the National Association of Medical Examiners, Sally Aiken, told the DCNF that “from a public health point of view, tracking the possible location of exposure to COVID-19 is important.”
“It is important to track possible exposures, and not doing so accurately interferes with appropriate public health response,” Aiken said.
Betsy McCaughey, a former Republican lieutenant governor of New York and current chairman of the patient advocacy group Committee to Reduce Infection Deaths, told the DNCF that New York should rejoin other states and resume disclosing the deaths of all long-term care patients, regardless of whether they died at a hospital.
“It would be a more accurate reflection of the peril at nursing homes,” McCaughey said. “If you look at the more accurate figures reported by other states, it’s reasonable to conclude that half of all deaths in the United States are among nursing home residents and that rather than shutting down the economy they could have focused resources on nursing homes.”
Indeed, of the nine states with the largest coronavirus outbreaks, New York has the lowest reported share of state deaths from long-term care residents at 20%, according to The Times.
The share of long-term care resident fatalities reported by the other eight states ranges from 36% to 66%, according to The Times.

Just a scheme to hide the real number of elderly murdered by Andrew Cuomo and his cronies.

They’re hiding that the end times here and Obama’s the Antichrist. The truth is seeping through at the seams. Watch it. This is “the” moment.
Don’t forget the Antichrist Obama aka Barry Parks, Rosa Parks’s nephew. He’s behind all this. His goal is to turn you into his slave. He succeeded so far, didn’t he? Are you the Antichrist’s slave now? You’re free to shut your mouth (and all you’re allowed to say is “thank you” for that.)

Charge him with genocide
genocide n.

Cuomo covering up premeditated mass murder.
The Democrats wanted the mass murder when they thought they could pin the blame on President Trump. That was whole purpose for releasing this virus. The body count was supposed to be a smear campaign and a fear campaign to “justify” voting by mail. Whatever the real body count is, it is all premeditated mass murder by Democrats in a political power scheme. If the numbers are inflated by 25% it’s still 66,500 deaths just to put a Democrat in the WH.

The Democrats will get ugly when Trump takes down Obama: that’s already started.
Yesterday Trump approved a “100% correct” message by Dan Bongino saying Obama’s the most corrupt of all US presidents in history.

Trump’s taking down Obama lock, stock and barrel. Obama’s looking down at tens and dozens of years in jail.

As ugly and evil as Obama is, the Democrat Party groomed him for the job. They put him in the WH knowing exactly who he was and what he was.
What does that say?
He was put in the WH as a stagehand. He had the necessary skills to set the stage for the assassin who was supposed to use us to murder much of the globe, and murder us. It’s hard to get more corrupt than that as a president. Had Hillary been elected she would have made Obama look like a boy scout.
Exposing Obama and all he did is like smashing a cornerstone that topples a tower of evil.

No, I can’t just post it like that. It’s a big chunk of info. She basically says that the families they belong to from Kansas, and Texas, Arkansas…. are related. They’re related and two cousins started running for the White House at the same time. Those were G H W Bush and B Clinton. These relations between big names from the same area of the south-east (that have been ruling the USA since 28 years i.e. 2 Bushes/GWH and GW Bush, Clinton and then Obama) is something that people can’t get their minds around. Obama was “sold” to them as this runaway black from nowhere who just fell to earth like a heaven-sent bundle of love and joy.
They don’t want to hear that he stole our money by tripling the debt and putting the USA on food stamps. He killed half a million in the Arab Spring.
They bought into this dream and they don’t want anyone waking them up. They’re like deer in the headlights: stuck in “the daze”.
Obama’s gay life-style is something they just don’t want to hear about, despite that the reports are very clear. They don’t even want to hear about the birth issue. “Obama’s BLACK, LEAVE HIM ALONE ” is all one hears.If the proof that Obama’s the Antichrist is brought up then the liberals go on the warpath.

SWEDEN: Muslim invader charged with murdering his Swedish girlfriend and chopping her into pieces
MAY 17, 2020 BY BARENAKEDISLAM
In his defense, the Kurdish Muslim invader claimed that the fact that he had kept her head indicated that he loved Wilma too much to kill her
Voice of Europe The 23-year-old Kurd, Tishko Ahmed, first came to Sweden as a refugee in 2006.
He now has been charged for the murder of his girlfriend, 17-year-old Wilma Andersson, who went missing six months ago. Her body was cut up into many pieces, some of which have not yet been found. Wilma’s head was found in a suitcase in the migrant’s flat.
Police now believe that Wilma was murdered on the evening of November 14, according to a report by Expressen. Neighbors testified about hearing screams from the migrant’s apartment at the time. A number of motorists later called police to notify them that they had seen the migrant walking along a nearby highway and acting strangely.

What sort of mental midget would place coronavirus patients in a nursing home instead of a hospital isolation ward or on a Navy hospital ship that was requested but hardly used?
Just count the NYC coronavirus deaths in nursing facilities and the total count is closer to being accurate than one might imagine.

It sounds like a policy that was implemented on the sly to either misrepresent the numbers of deaths of the elderly/infirm (i.e. by making it seem as if they had died in hospitals rather than nursing homes) or kill off the elderly/infirm, perhaps because most repubs are in that age group or to save on medicare/social security payouts/payments? Whatever the policy was we’ll never know the reasoning behind it — that smoking gun has already been buried.

Only the dangerously naive, the apologists for the CCP and their direct agents can believe the CCP Virus was anything other than an intentional, deliberate attack by the CCPon the US and the economies of the Eu and the world. The evidence of this horrific WMD assault is overwhelming and need not be once again explained. Once we understand Cuomo’s inexplicable actions directing CCP Virus victims be sent to nursing homes was not an error but on the instructions of his masters in Beijing who designed this virus to terminate those among us who are elderly and in poor health. The question is why did the CCP design this WMD to attack the elderly and those in poor health? The CCP policy of one-child has resulted in a population that is greying, the old outnumber the young by a significant margin. Old sick people are not productive and are expensive to care for. That is an expense that has no return on investment. The CCP virus is designed to cull the herd and reduce the number of care-dependent in China and now throughout the world. The primary effect on the living is to cause panic, chaos, and disruption sowed by the CCP’s agents in the Commiecrat parties of the world, the Dog Fart Media they control or influence and their direct propaganda agents embedded in Facebook, Google, Twitter, and numerous other media organizations throughout the US and the world. The CCP has immense influence and its tentacles wrapped around our throats. No, Cuomo is not incompetent. Cuomo and his minions are executing a carefully thought out CCP plan to destroy its greatest rival the USA. We have to understand we are dealing with the most murderous, ruthless regime this world has ever experienced. They have infiltrated our culture, our economy, and they are accomplishing their goal of Chinese hegemony by stealth and cunning on an unimaginable scale.

And they used their sidekick, the Muslim WHO, to impose worldwide lockdown.
It’s the FIRST STRIKE. 2d strike is the instant worldwide ruin and bankruptcy in just a matter of days that we’re witnessing now.
3d strike is the realization that we’ve been had.
And that the CCP/China themselves have self-destructed in the process, themselves.
4th is the realization that it’s too late and the world’s done.
…..The Revelation and Apocalypse of both Buddhism (…in the Kalachakra’s end times) and Christianity is that Obama the Antichrist is called Barry Parks and was born in Topeka, Ks: says Obama’s own cousin in Kansas.
