The city and state severely shortchanged a federally-mandated program designed to protect nursing home residents, leading to the disproportionate death toll of elderly New Yorkers from the coronavirus, according to an alarming new report by City Comptroller Scott Stringer.

The investigation found that New York City has just one full-time ombudsman for every 8,650 long-term care residents when national guidelines dictate one watchdog for every 2,000 people.

They should both be residents of Riker's Island but no one will be charged except maybe a custodian at the capitol. :whistle:

So they are blaming the Nursing Home disaster and mass death on a "lack of funding" now?  LOL!
