these. These are loved ones we lost. Um, you know, it's someone's grandma, Someone's mother or father, Aunt or uncle. I mean, this is families, uh, missing someone dear to them And, you know, for so many people, I talked to them The fact that they, you know, people. I've talked to people all over the city who have lost folks, and they could not be with them. Ah, it made it so much more horrible. So this this was just, you know, among all the other pain that we went through in 2020 this was arguably the very worst part of it that we have to make sense of this. We have to get the full truth, and we have to make sure it never ever happens again. Nothing like this happens again on. We have to be honest about the numbers. I I do want to give a lot of credit to colleagues in my administration, our health, leadership. They have always strived Thio really put out not just the obvious numbers, but we've been talking about probable deaths and probable cases. I try to be, um, as clear and honest is possible on. I appreciate that I think that's the way we all have toe understand this crisis and make sure nothing like that happens again.

The 76-page report found an undercount of more than 50%, backing up the findings of an last year that focused on the fact that New York is one of the only states in the nation that count residents who died on nursing home property and not those who later died in hospitals.

The report from a fellow Democratic official undercut Cuomo's frequent argument that the criticism of his handling of the virus in nursing homes was part of a political 바카라 게임 웹사이트blame game," and it was a vindication for thousands of families who believed their loved ones were being omitted from counts to advance the governor's image as a pandemic hero.

Cuomo바카라 게임 웹사이트s office and the state health department have not responded to repeated requests for comment.

James has for months been examining discrepancies between the number of deaths being reported by the state's Department of Health, and the number of deaths reported by the homes themselves.

Cuomo, who last fall released a book touting his leadership in dealing with the virus, has not been shy about using New York's lower nursing home death count to make the argument that his state is doing better than others in caring for those in such facilities.
