Cuomo: No Matter What Was Done During Pandemic, Older People Were Going to Die
Epoch Times, May 18, 2020

Older people would have died during the pandemic no matter what was done, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said on Sunday.

Cuomo, facing a wave of criticism over a controversial mandate requiring nursing homes not to deny admission or readmission to residents based solely on a COVID-19 diagnosis, was told of a family who lost two relatives to the new disease.

“They’re looking for accountability and they feel like they were failed. What’s the comment to that?” a reporter asked.

“We lost 139 people yesterday in hospitals. Who is accountable for those 139 deaths? How do we get justice for those families who had 139 deaths? What is justice? Who can we prosecute for those deaths? Nobody,” Cuomo responded.

Describing the hospital system in the state as the best in the world, Cuomo said doctors and nurses did their best and no patient was denied a bed.

Pressed on whether, if certain mandates were implemented sooner lives would have been saved, Cuomo said: “I don’t—look, people rationalize death in different ways. I don’t think there is any logical rationale to say they would be alive today.”

The governor’s office didn’t respond immediately to a request for comment on the remarks, including Cuomo’s position on calls for an independent probe into the state’s March 25 directive.

Cuomo has faced harsh criticism even from some in his own party over his handling of the pandemic.

Cuomo says "nobody" should be prosecuted in N.Y. for deaths caused by coronavirus
May 17, 2020

100% of us are going to die, Governor.

What is your point?

Don't prosecute murderers because the victim "Was going to die anyway"?

If you dredge down far enough into his message, that is what one perceives.

He is inhuman.
