The policy was an immediate disaster and resulted in thousands of senior citizens dying in nursing homes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>According to a report from the state\u2019s attorney general, Cuomo\u2019s office originally underreported the number of nursing home deaths by 40%, reportedly in an attempt to protect himself politically.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>New Revelations<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span>Number of COVID-19 deaths in NY reported by Cuomo: <\/span><b>43,400<\/b><span>&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Number of COVID-19 deaths in NY, reported by Hochul: <\/span><b>55,400<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>How Did This Happen?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span>Cuomo\u2019s administration only counted laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 deaths<\/span> <span>for their tally, meaning they ignored cases where people died at home, in hospice care, or in prison.
