A convenient amnesty: Cuomo says nobody to be punished for nursing home deaths

How's this for convenient?
New York's Gov. Andrew Cuomo thinks no one should be prosecuted for the 5,000 nursing home deaths in New York that occurred in the wake of the coronavirus on the grounds that they all were going to die anyway. According to CBS News:
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo on Sunday addressed the state's early response to the coronavirus outbreak and said "nobody" should be prosecuted for the those who died, noting that "older people" were most vulnerable. The governor has been criticized for a decision in March, which has since been reversed, to send patients back to nursing homes after they tested positive for COVID-19. More than 4,800 people died from COVID-19 in nursing homes in the state between March 1 and May 1, according to a tally released by the Cuomo administration on May 1. Cuomo has called nursing homes a "feeding frenzy" for the coronavirus. "Despite whatever you do, because with all our progress as a society, we can't keep everyone alive," Cuomo said.
