For months, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and his management have refused to settle for duty for the thousands of deaths in nursing homes in the state of the Wuhan coronavirus outbreak. His evidence was a supposedly biased report from the New York State Department of Health, which concluded that Cuomo’s mandate to force long-term care services to settle for COVID patients “did not have a significant impact” on the mortality rate.
Well, the Justice Department announced Wednesday’s goal of doing a data check. The firm asked four urgent governors from New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Michigan to find out how fatal their questionable retirement home policies were.
Today, the Department of Justice requested information on COVID-19 from state governors who issued orders that may have resulted in the deaths of thousands of elderly citizens of retirement homes. New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Michigan have demanded that nursing homes admit COVID-19 patients to their vulnerable populations, without good enough evidence. (Department of Justice)
“Protecting the rights of some of the most vulnerable members of society, adding up older citizens of retirement homes, is one of our country’s greatest vital obligations,” said Deputy Attorney General of the Civil Rights Division, Eric Dreiband. “We will have to make sure that they are well cared for with dignity and respect and that they are not unnecessarily endangered.”
If they find evidence to suggest that there is indeed a link between the governors’ mandates and the impressive death toll, the Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division will open investigations under the Federal Institutionalized Civil Rights Act, which protects the civil rights of people in state nursing homes.
