Janice Dean’s Tragic Loss Exposes Andrew Cuomo’s Failed Response To Coronavirus In Nursing Homes
May 22, 2020 By Chrissy Clark
On Thursday’s edition of “Tucker Carlson Tonight,†Fox News Senior Meteorologist Janice Dean shared the story of losing her mother-in-law and father-in-law to COVID-19 in a New York City nursing home.
Dean is a largely apolitical figure on the Fox News channel but believes Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s advisory to send COVID-19 elders back into nursing homes is the reason her in-laws are gone. On March 25, Cuomo issued an advisory for hospitals to discharge elderly patients with COVID-19 back to nursing homes to combat alleged discrimination against those diagnosed with coronavirus.
Dean said she is shocked at how underreported this story is. This an intentional policy that has major consequences for elderly people and their families across not only New York, but other states as well.
“I have not seen the coverage of this. You’ve covered it, Martha [McCallum] covered it, the New York Post has covered it. This should be one of the biggest stories of this pandemic, of 2020. Twenty percent of our lost loved ones are from nursing homes. And, it’s because Governor Cuomo, and several other Governors, by the way, in different states, forced COVID-recovering patients into nursing homes,†Dean said.
