Democratic New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo passed the buck on the nursing home tragedy Wednesday, saying nursing homes should have ignored his order and refused to take elderly patients infected with the coronavirus.

“The obligation is on the nursing home to say, ‘I can’t take a COVID-positive person. I’m too crowded. I’m too busy. I don’t have enough PPE.’ Whatever the answer is; it doesn’t even matter. If they say, ‘I can’t take the person,’ they can’t take the person. So … that’s how it works.”

But it was Cuomo’s order that forced state nursing homes to take in 4,500 patients with COVID-19, the Associated Press reported.

Cuomo issued the order to nursing homes and other assisted living centers on March 25, according to AP. He did not reverse that policy until May 11. A Daily Caller News Foundation investigation also discovered that New York undercounted the number of deaths in nursing homes.

The governor has also blamed President Donald Trump for the nursing home catastrophe, suggesting he was following federal government guidelines on where to send nursing home residents infected with the virus.

What? That's was one of the most chicken shit cowardly things to say as a state leader in my entire memory.  An epic W-T-F comment if there ever was one.

What kind of cold-hearted moron would order a Covid-positive person to be put inside a nursing home to begin with?
