Disgraced ex-NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo ordered to appear before House panel over controversial handling of COVID in nursing homes

Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo testified Tuesday before the US House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, particularly related to his governance during the pandemic and his state's nursing home policies at the time.

This comes a day after the committee released a report quoting him on March 10, 2020, as saying  COVID in nursing homes would be a "nightmare," 15 days after which he issued an order not to block "re-admission or admission" into nursing homes for those with the virus.

While the governor's order was described as preventing overcrowding hospitals, it resulted in 9K patients being released into long-term care facilities and a total of 15K dying from COVID in nursing homes.

While committee blames Cuomo's policy and accuses him and his staff of omitting thousands of COVID deaths in a July 2020 report, Cuomo responded Tuesday by blaming the then-Donald Trump White House and Republicans of using "lies and deceptions."
