JANICE DEAN: THE CORONAVIRUS COSTS MY GIRLS LIFE. CuOMO Governor, OUR VULNERABLE GOODS MERERIDOS
I left the official bureaucracy and wrote letters explaining my intention. Here’s what I said:
“This year, my circle of relatives suffered the loss of my mother and stepfather from COVID-19 in senior care services and look forward to sharing the joy of their last days with committee members. I believe that I can provide applicable data on have an effect on the State order of March 25 on retirement homes and the care and decisions that have been made”.
I won an email from New York State Assembly member Kevin Byrne, who not only expressed his condolences for the loss of my family, but said his project would be to make sure he was a witness at one of the hearings.
Then I sought to lend my voice to the thousands of people who lost their parents and grandparents. My voice was silenced.
He told me he had had conversations with his colleagues and a fellow Democratic president and they said I would testify.
They were not wearing for me on August 3rd, they would respond to my request the following Monday, August 10.
I waited and waited for a formal invitation to the hearings. I intended to arrive on Friday 7.
Saturday came and nothing is known yet. I suspect and text Joe.
I told him, unofficially, that they were going to remove me from the list. He thought he might have come from Cuomo’s own address because, as far as he knew, everyone was with me to testify.
However, I’ve been waiting for at least one letter of remorse from the New York State Senate. Regardless, I won this generic message at Monday’s hearings:
Hello
Thank you for your interest in testifying at the August 10 Joint Public Hearing on the effect of COVID-19 on residential physical care services and other long-term care services. Unfortunately, due to the large number of programs won and the limited time available, we have not been able to respond to your request to testify at this hearing. However, we accept written testimony up to 10 days after the final of the hearing, which will be part of the public record and will be read by members. To do so, send this written testimony to Tony Kergaravat at the New York Assembly to [email protected] and me.
I encourage you to log in to the live broadcast through the Senate and Assembly websites in https://www.nysenate.gov/calendar/public-hearings/august-10-2020/joint-public-hearing-residential-health-care -installations- and
Once again, thank you for your interest!
I knew they weren’t interested in hearing my story. I didn’t say it frankly, but many Democratic leaders were convinced that my story was based on “politics.”
My story will be told through a grieving wife, mother and daughter-in-law who need answers about why my husband’s parents died.
As I couldn’t tell my story in the New York State Senate, my colleague Tucker Carlson gave me a column on his “Tucker Carlson Tonight” screen Monday night. Unlike Democratic lawmakers in the Assembly, he kept his word.
Our enjoys are not a figure in a curve that the governor says is controlled to flatten. These are other genuine people who have lived life lives. They were the definition of what Mr. Cuomo said ,New York difficult.
After my appearance, I saw a tweet from state Senator Tom O’Mara saying what I knew, but that I still struggled to believe: that the president of the Assembly Health Committee said I wasn’t comfortable with my inclusion on the witness list and that’s why I wasn’t invited.
But I don’t think it’s me or my story they’re not comfortable with. This is the fact of what happened at the New York nursing homes and the cover-up that followed.
Then I sought to lend my voice to the thousands of people who lost their parents and grandparents. My voice was silenced.
It doesn’t matter where you paint or who you vote for. Everyone’s story is important.

Every voice of the families of the victims deserves to be heard. It is these stories and the ones that have suffered the greatest losses in this pandemic, that can help us discover what really happened.
What is the role of the government in these deaths? What don’t our elected leaders tell us? Are you involved in a cover-up operation?
To date, we still don’t have answers to those questions. We don’t even have exact figures on the number of our relatives who died in nursing homes. We’ll have to be informed of this tragedy to make sure it doesn’t happen again.
Part of my testimony would have included that I appreciate the fact that the hearings took place. But to get answers and be responsible, you want a full bipartisan external survey. We want fair answers as to why you ordered more than 6,000 COVID-positive patients to be placed in nursing homes for 46 days and why it is not mandatory to check for incoming patients prior to admission or readmission.
The death toll in the living amenities of our seniors only in New York City was higher than September 11 and Hurricane Katrina combined.
Governor Cuomo said at the beginning of the pandemic:
“I take full responsibility” and “If you’re disappointed by what we’ve done, come with me.”
We’re upset. Indignant. But he never took responsibility.
Instead, he blamed and everything else. – Even the citizens of the retirement homes themselves.
He said: “The elderly, the vulnerable, are going to die from this virus. This is going to happen despite everything they’re doing, we can’t keep everyone alive. Other older people are more vulnerable. It’s a fact.” that probably wouldn’t change.

It’s not a matter of politics. It’s about being responsible for what happened to our parents and grandparents who trusted us to take care of them.
I’m just the governor to feel the same way.
