There some on Twitter that want to charge Governor Cuomo for mass murder.

They show an executive order as proof. Anyone could help me understand some of this? And where were these outraged people when tRump was trying to sweep the whole virus under the rug?

1. Where does it say anything about whoever it is that wants to charge him with mass murder?

4. It's been a multiple tweet argument. But this is one that has the executive order in it.

I've been trying to not retweet some of the out there parts. This person was more civil than most of them.

Cuomo has been doing such a good job and it's just a shame that someone went so far as accusing him of mass murder after he saved so many lives by being tough and doing the right thing.

There must have been some slam on him
On Fux. Why him all of a sudden? 🤷🏼?♀️
Maybe they think he wants to run for President. Start the smears early?

Nursing home, or SNFs are medical facilities. Looks like Cuomo was doing what was medically necessary at the time to clear up hospital beds for people who were acute. COVID is contagious and potentially deadly, but it can still be managed in a medical facility unless acute where specialized equipment is needed. Looks like Cuomo and the Dept. of Health were telling NHs that they needed to take people back once they were cleared and continue working with them using the best practice guidelines to keep them, staff, and other residents safe and healthy.

They are likely saying this because some news personalities are talking about Trump being guilty of negligent homicide.

Also note date of order, March 25. Very, very early in epidemic. Still learning about virus at that time and how to manage. Plenty of nursing homes across country had issues/lack of knowledge about virus resulting in needless loss of life. In Cuomo’s defense I don’t see him as doing anything harmful deliberately. I don’t think the same can be said for all governments in the States.

11. Blame the administrators of the nursing homes.

The nursing homes should have had precautions in place to isolate the patients transferred to their facilities to prevent spread to the healthy general population of the homes. He had to free up some space for the acute patients that were inundating the acute care hospitals.

This current blaming of Cuomo is more strident now that he is getting an award but I have been hearing it for over 6 weeks, especially as the national death toll kept skyrocketing while Trump was golfing and holding rallies and any criticism of the deaths on his watch I would start hearing whatabouts of Cuomo and comparing him to the holocaust, etc. Since I don't listen to RW radio I assumed they nudged out that idea first to protect their guy from criticism.
