Holy s*it is this bad. Over to you, Gov. Andrew Cuomo:
NEW YORK (AP) — New York state reports more than 1,700 previously undisclosed deaths at nursing homes and adult care facilities.

This is quickly becoming THE story of the epidemic, not just in New York but nationwide:
Nursing homes are among the places we should have protected most vigorously. Instead it seems like we barely protected them at all, or even did things to put them at risk, and now it's "look at all these coronavirus deaths!" without noting where over half of them happened. https://t.co/ZobkS7rpUp

How soon until journos give their favorite governor cover?
Would you believe that it would be instantaneous? “. . .the state faces scrutiny”:
New York state is reporting more than 1,700 previously undisclosed deaths at nursing homes and adult care facilities, as the state faces scrutiny over protecting vulnerable residents during the coronavirus pandemic. https://t.co/tEPy6hPHaN

Not Gov. Cuomo, but it’s “the state” that’s at fault:
Ah “the state” is facing scrutiny. “The state” https://t.co/nMbau3ntne

Keep in mind, these “previously undisclosed” deaths are more than in the entire state of Florida:

Gov. Cuomo really needs to answer for this:
Protect the most-vulnerable, the most at-risk, they said. New York did the opposite, sending patients with Covid-19 back into nursing homes at the height of the pandemic. By order. This is heart-breaking. And malicious. https://t.co/PjVNhaZTZ9
