As the scandal over the failure to release the actual number of deaths in nursing homes last year continues to fester, Republican members of the state Assembly are calling for an investigation of Governor Andrew Cuomo and related officials, and some are even proposing to impeach Cuomo; Democratic members of the Assembly, who were originally on the same side as the governor, have also accused Cuomo of covering up the truth. The state legislature is discussing revoking his authority to issue emergency executive orders.
The state legislature is discussing revoking his authority to issue emergency executive orders. Gummox’s chief of staff, Melissa DeRosa, was revealed to have privately apologized to Democratic lawmakers on the 11th, saying she did not disclose the real numbers for fear of an investigation into the state capital by federal prosecutors appointed by former President Trump.
Gammu issued an executive order in March last year, in order to free up hospital beds and require nursing homes to accept new crown patients in hospital rehabilitation, more than 9,000 people, but this policy is suspected to indirectly lead to soaring mortality rate of new crown in nursing homes, two months later Gammu only in the opposition to the executive order revoked.
In August last year, the federal Department of Justice intervened to investigate the executive order issued by New York, New York, Pennsylvania, and Michigan in nursing homes during the Epidemic, and then the New York State Attorney General, Letitia James, released a report last month after months of investigation, showing that the state Department of health had underestimated by 50 percent the number of nursing home deaths from new coronary arteries.
According to the latest data from the state Department of Health, nearly 13,000 people have died from NCC in New York State nursing homes since the outbreak began, but the state had previously released a figure of 8,711.
After the release of the report, the state legislature and all walks of Life are thundering, demanding that Gammu take responsibility, but Gammu never apologized for it.
It was revealed on the 11th that De Rosa had privately apologized to Democratic lawmakers, saying that because Trump was trying to turn the nursing home crisis into a political contest last August, they did not want the data submitted to be used against the state by the Justice Department, so they hoped Democratic lawmakers would understand their difficulties.
But De Rosa’s apology did not go over well with any lawmakers. In addition to Republican lawmakers who strongly criticized Gumm, several Democratic lawmakers also demanded that Gumm apologize to the public and the families of the deceased, including State Assembly Senate Senior Citizens Committee Chairman Ron Kim, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and State Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins ( Andrea Stewart-Cousins) and others.
On April 12, 14 Democratic state senators, including John Liu, joined Republicans in discussing the need to revoke as soon as possible the authority to issue emergency executive orders during the Gammu outbreak, which was scheduled to expire on April 30.
In March, the state legislature granted Gomes the authority to issue emergency executive orders during the outbreak, and he has issued 94 executive orders so far, including shutting down and restarting the economy, requiring masks, and expanding the number of hospital beds.
Gomes did not speak to any media on the 12th, and only met with President Biden and Vice President He Jinli in his capacity as president of the National Governors Association, and did not comment on the nursing home issue.
The call to impeach Gammu is also growing online, with Queens Republican City Councilman Robert Holden sending a letter to the organizers of the International Emmy Award, asking that the previous award praising Gammu’s contribution to the fight against the epidemic be canceled; former Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly, who has repeatedly blasted Gammu as the real culprit for the deaths of elderly people in nursing homes, said in another article on the 12th. Kelly, a former Fox News anchor who has repeatedly denounced Gammu as the real culprit in the deaths of elderly people in nursing homes, said again on the 12th that it was “shameful” that Gammu had acted with his anchor brother at a press conference but never mentioned the elderly who died in nursing homes.
