This is simply amazing. Just read an article on what the Japs are saying about it. They, like US officials (well, not the Bidenites), scoffed at it. Haven't seen anything about Aussie reaction but I suspect they are shaking their heads in utter disbelief too. The WHO report claims some "unknown animal" is responsible.

Cuomo aide admits they hid nursing home data so feds wouldn’t find out
quote:
Governor Cuomo’s top aide privately apologized to Democratic lawmakers for withholding the state’s nursing-home death toll from COVID-19 — telling them “we froze” out of fear the true numbers would “be used against us” by federal prosecutors, The Post has learned.
The stunning admission of a cover-up was made by Secretary to the Governor Melissa DeRosa during a video conference call with state Democratic leaders in which she said the Cuomo administration had rebuffed a legislative request for the tally in August because “right around the same time, [then-President Donald Trump] turns this into a giant political football,” according to an audio recording of the two-hour-plus meeting.
“He starts tweeting that we killed everyone in nursing homes,” DeRosa said. “He starts going after [New Jersey Gov. Phil] Murphy, starts going after [California Gov. Gavin] Newsom, starts going after [Michigan Gov.] Gretchen Whitmer.”
In addition to attacking Cuomo’s fellow Democratic governors, DeRosa said, Trump “directs the Department of Justice to do an investigation into us.”
“And basically, we froze,” she told the lawmakers on the call.
“Because then we were in a position where we weren’t sure if what we were going to give to the Department of Justice, or what we give to you guys, what we start saying, was going to be used against us while we weren’t sure if there was going to be an investigation.”
DeRosa added: “That played a very large role into this.”
After dropping the bombshell, DeRosa asked for “a little bit of appreciation of the context” and offered what appears to be the Cuomo administration’s first apology for its handling of nursing homes amid the pandemic.
But instead of a mea culpa to the grieving family members of more than 13,000 dead seniors or the critics who say the Health Department spread COVID-19 in the care facilities with a March 25 state Health Department directive that nursing homes admit infected patients, DeRosa tried to make amends with the fellow Democrats for the political inconvenience it caused them.quote:
“So we do apologize,” she said. “I do understand the position that you were put in. I know that it is not fair. It was not our intention to put you in that political position with the Republicans.”
Assembly Health Committee Chairman Richard Gottfried (D-Manhattan) immediately rejected DeRosa’s expression of remorse, according to the recording.
“I don’t have enough time today to explain all the reasons why I don’t give that any credit at all,” said Gottfried, one of the lawmakers who demanded the death-toll data in August.
State Senate Aging Committee Chairwoman Rachel May (D-Syracuse) — who was battered during her re-election bid last year over the issue of nursing-home deaths — also ripped into DeRosa, saying her former opponent had launched another broadside earlier in the day.
“And the issue for me, the biggest issue of all is feeling like I needed to defend — or at least not attack — an administration that was appearing to be covering something up,” she said.
“And in a, in a pandemic, when you want the public to trust the public-health officials, and there is this clear feeling that they’re not coming, being forthcoming with you, that is really hard and it remains difficult.”quote:
Assemblyman Ron Kim (D-Queens), who took part in the call, told The Post on Thursday that DeRosa’s remarks sounded “like they admitted that they were trying to dodge having any incriminating evidence that might put the administration or the [Health Department] in further trouble with the Department of Justice.”
“That’s how I understand their reasoning of why they were unable to share, in real time, the data,” Kim said.
“They had to first make sure that the state was protected against federal investigation.”
Kim, whose uncle is presumed to have died of COVID-19 in a nursing home in April, also said he wasn’t satisfied with DeRosa’s apology.
“It’s not enough how contrite they are with us,” he said. “They need to show that to the public and the families — and they haven’t done that.”
In addition to stonewalling lawmakers on the the total number of nursing home residents killed by COVID-19, Cuomo’s administration also refused requests from the news media — including The Post — and fought a Freedom of Information lawsuit filed by the Empire Center on Public Policy.
Instead, it only disclosed data on the numbers of residents who died in their nursing homes.
But after Attorney General Letitia James last month released a damning report that estimated the deaths of nursing-home residents in hospitals would boost the grim tally by more than 50 percent, Health Commissioner Howard Zucker finally released figures showing the combined total was 12,743 as of Jan. 19.
Just a day earlier, the DOH was only publicly acknowledging 8,711 deaths in nursing homes.
In a Wednesday letter to lawmakers, Zucker said the total number of nursing home residents killed by COVID-19 had increased to 13,297 That number jumps to 15,049 when assisted living/adult care facilities are factored in.
The controversy generated by James’ report led to an infamous news conference at which Cuomo callously dismissed the matter of where nursing home fatalities actually took place.
“Who cares [if they] died in the hospital, died in a nursing home? They died,” he said.
During Wednesday’s conference call, DeRosa said it appeared the DOJ was no longer focused on New York’s nursing home deaths.
“All signs point to they are not looking at this, they’ve dropped it,” she said.
“They never formally opened an investigation. They sent a letter asking a number of questions and then we satisfied those questions and it appears that they’re gone.”
In a prepared statement, Cuomo spokesman Rich Azzopardi said, “We explained that the Trump administration was in the midst of a politically motivated effort to blame democratic states for COVID deaths and that we were cooperating with Federal document productions and that was the priority and now that it is over we can address the state legislature.”
“That said, we were working simultaneously to complete the audit of information they were asking for,” he added.
The DOJ declined to comment.
But Biden and democrat DOJ will do NOTHING... Democrats literally kill people and get away with it.. Waiting for Goosey's outrage...
Don't hold your breath too long. No need to add to the death toll needlessly.Quote:

In total our rural hospital...one of the best anywhere in the nation...handled 2,400+ doses.
Yes, I am on the Board of Directors for the NRMC and everything I touch turns to pure gold! :shocked2: Actually, and this will come as no surprise to anyone, I'm sure, I can claim no credit for it. We are blessed, and have been blessed for years, with strong leadership and a topnotch staff of doctors, nurses and all others.
LSU Med Center is still scheduled to administer their drive-thru vaccination event this Wednesday in Natchitoches. But, if the roads are bad due to icing, they might cancel it and just leave the hundreds of doses here for the NRMC to handle.
General question, at what point can we declare the China virus crisis over and return to some normalcy? I saw a stat recently that 35 million Americans have been vaccinated. That was earlier this week and maybe that number is up a bunch since then. That represents 10% of the population. Surely we will start to see the numbers improving soon. I mean the number of new cases, hospitalizations, those on vents, etc...

NY Gov. Cuomo's little brother silent on big brother's nursing home scandal
Governor's top aide said administration feared data on nursing homes deaths would 'be used against us'
CNN’s Chris Cuomo is remaining silent on the nursing home scandal surrounding his big brother, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
Since the scandal broke last week, Cuomo has neither mentioned it on his show nor has he tweeted about it – devoting tweets and airtime instead to the impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump.
The governor received glowing praise from CNN and MSNBC early on for his handling of the pandemic and they largely ignored his directive for nursing homes to accept patients who had or were suspected of having COVID-19. The decision created an onslaught of COVID-19 cases that infected thousands of elderly patients and resulted in hundreds of deaths among the state's most vulnerable population.
Cuomo eventually reversed the decision – but thousands had died from COVID-19 in New York nursing homes before he reversed course.
Chris Cuomo was widely ridiculed for a series of interviews of his big brother during the height of the nursing home crisis in which they joked around and teased each other while the "Cuomo Prime Time" namesake largely avoided tough questions. During one shameful interview, the Cuomo siblings essentially treated CNN viewers to a prop comedy routine.
The CNN anchor finally mentioned the nursing home controversy to his brother after ignoring it during at least 10 on-air interviews since the scandal began, but Cuomo quickly pointed to how there were nursing home deaths "all across the country" and said "we have to figure out how to do it better the next time" before the next virus wave occurs.
At the end of the interview, the CNN anchor showered the governor with praise as New York's leader and even admitted to his viewers, "Of course, I'm not objective," while expressing his love for his brother.
PELOSI ISSUES 'RARE REBUKE' AFTER CUOMO CLAIMS FEDS TRYING TO SHORTCHANGE NY IN CORONAVIRUS BILL: REPORTS
The governor's top aide, Melissa DeRosa, told Democratic lawmakers that Cuomo’s administration took months to release data revealing how many people living at nursing homes died of COVID-19 because officials "froze" over worries the information was "going to be used against us."
Republicans who term the comment admission of a "cover-up" are now calling for investigations into and the resignations of both Cuomo and DeRosa. A growing number of Democrats are joining calls to rescind Cuomo's emergency executive powers, blasting the administration's defense of its secrecy.
The disclosure of DeRosa's comments, made on a Wednesday conference call with Democratic legislative leaders, came as the Democratic governor – a third-term Democrat who says he'll run again in 2022 and penned a book touting his handling of the pandemic – and his administration were already facing backlash over their handling and reporting of outbreaks in nursing homes.
Cuomo refused for months to release data on how the pandemic has hit nursing home residents, instead pointing to figures more favorable to his administration.
In recent weeks, a court order and state attorney general report have forced the state to acknowledge the nursing home resident death toll is nearly 15,000, when it previously reported 8,500 – a number that excluded residents who died after being taken to hospitals. The new toll amounts to about one-seventh of the people living in nursing homes as of 2019 in New York.

Just flew back yesterday from Orlando after taking my granddaughter to Disney World for the first time. Planes were full, everyone masked up, Disney Parks were at 35% capacity ( based upon what I heard), but longest wait for any ride/attraction was 60 min. Most people social distanced while waiting in line 6 feet apart of groups.. Great time, no issues, no worries about Covid as far as I am concerned, especially on the plane.

On FoxNews.. the doctor who normally gives commentary on Covid.. said last night he went to Madison Square Garden for an event. He took his vaccine card showing he was fully vaccinated. They ignored that, and made him take a COVID test prior to entering the building. So the government and policy makers will not accept a vaccination card that shows a vaccine that is 95% effective.. yet rely on a covid test that is less than 70% effective..

How come you find this so mentally difficult to understand?
But they also just said there is no need to quarantine after being exposed if you have had the vaccine. So which is it? I heard the 2 week rule. I can buy that. If the vaccine doesn’t restore us to normal life, then why is anyone taking it? That’s the whole point. The point is not to protect the elderly. We can do that with social distancing and quarantining. The point is to get people who are otherwise healthy back to a point of being free to live.
Science? That’s funny right there.Quote:

A fraction of people exposed to Covid will get Covid. Thus, the CDC has now decided that exposure alone is not enough to quarantine someone that has been vaccinated. I suspect there is some public health consideration around incentivizing people to get vaccinated plays into that. But if the early data suggests people are a lower transmission risk if vaccinated times the probability that they actually get the virus through exposure is balances out in favor of non quarantining in comparison to encouraging adoption of the vaccine.
...but it's still important to quarantine even if you have already had the China Virus or have been quarantined multiple times. There's you science, which is really a control tactic of you leftists.
The data shows vaccine confers much greater immunity than previous illness.Quote:

Problem with talking head doctors is that they never take a position because they don't want to be held accountable to that position. So they don't. As they say "nothing is certain except death and taxes". You take a risk when you walk outside of your home, or get in a car, or take public transportation, or eat anything. Any of those activities could result in illness, injury or death.. But to attempt to exist where you reduce that risk as low as possible, or to zero is that merely existing, not living.
You sound like you have been listening to Tucker rather than Fauci. Cause that is a gross mischaracterization of what Fauci said.Quote:

Well, the problem with the whole "follow the science" scenario re: the China Virus has been no one has actually applied real science. They have been shooting from the hip and tossing around terminology and all kinds of speculation. Like throwing darts at a board of "ideas."
REAL SCIENCE does not bounce around like this. But, we don't see much of any REAL SCIENCE in the national lexicon. It is all politically driven, pushed by those with ulterior motives/agendas. And this is true of "climate change" and some other off-base notions. I am rooted firmly in science, true, unbiased, factual science. And very often...most of the time...science does not have an answer, only hypotheses and theories. A TRUE SCIENTIST is not afraid to admit he does not have the real answer to a question, just some theory based on the best available information.
So, it should not come as a surprise that politicians have totally effed up the whole China Virus response. Hell, they won't even call it the "China Virus" out of fear of offending their financial benefactors.
Looking forward to the “absolutely not needed” quote. Am familiar with the two from a year ago when he said they were not needed “at this time.”Quote:

You missed the point of my post.. The point is that since the beginning of this whole pandemic the "experts" have moved the goal posts almost daily. Politicians have set policies which have included draconian sanctions with lockdowns and business restrictions with little or no basis on "science" from these experts. New York and California which have had massive restrictions in place have had no significant difference than TX, FL or other states who have had minimal restrictions.Quote:
