 The Department of Justice will not open a civil investigation into the Covid-19 response in state nursing homes in New York, Pennsylvania and Michigan, after the department was seeking to determine whether policies issued during the pandemic requiring Covid-19 patients to be admitted into the facilities may have contributed to deaths.

The announcement in a letter sent to GOP Rep. Steve Scalise prompted swift outrage from him and other Republicans who have accused New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a Democrat, of covering up Covid-19-related deaths in nursing homes in his state. Cuomo has denied any wrongdoing, but the state's handling of the data surrounding deaths in long-term care facilities has been the subject of an ongoing criminal investigation by the US attorney's office in Brooklyn.

Last August, the Justice Department under the Trump administration requested Covid-19 data from the four states that issued orders requiring Covid-19 patients to be admitted to nursing homes, which the department said "may have resulted" in the deaths of nursing home residents.

The death of thousands of Americans in Nursing Homes is not a cause for investigation? Those people paid taxes, raised children, served their Country and is ok to be treated like that?           Just a Very Sad thought.

Alone...

 

In the space of just over a year, N.Y. Gov. Andrew Cuomo went from a pandemic "hero," watched daily by millions of people, to a flattened politician under intense pressure to step down.

The Democrat tried to hang on amid an intensifying scandal until N.Y. Attorney General Letitia James released an exhaustive report detailing the allegations of sexual harassment.
 Less than a year after the Governor won an Emmy Award for his famous coronavirus briefings — an anchor for many people locked down in their homes in the spring of 2020.  

As governor, Cuomo became known for his hard-charging, sometimes bullying, management style.  

Eventually, though, his tactics earned him enemies, even within his party. By the time his fortunes began to turn, Cuomo found himself with few defenders.

In January, Letitia James' office found that Cuomo had undercounted COVID-19 deaths at nursing homes by 50% and suppressed those numbers for months.

Democratic Assemblyman Ron Kim, who lost his uncle to the coronavirus in a nursing home, was the first to publicly rebel against Cuomo's blunt tactics. Kim told several media outlets, including ABC's The View, that Cuomo threatened to "destroy" him if Kim did not stop his criticisms of the state's nursing home policies.

"Pride before the fall"  Just a thought.

DeRosa...

 

In 2020, DeRosa took home $208,785. As governor of New York, from the same source, Andrew Cuomo took home $225,000 in 2020 – marginally more than DeRosa.

They were the two highest earners in the executive department that year. Jill DesRosiers, Cuomo’s chief of staff, made $200,991.

DeRosa entered the position from which she has just resigned when she was just 34 – the youngest person to occupy the position in New York, and the only woman to do so. It is the most powerful unelected position in state government.
As per GovSalaries, the average annual wage among all employees of the department is between $60,000 and $70,000.

What was DeRosa's role in the various issues.  Just a thought.

Break-Down...

 

Whether a person is dealing with an obsession with drugs, alcohol, money, sex or food, the nature of this obsession is the same.  The greed for more (in quantity, frequency and intensity) escalates as the person breaks down more and more boundaries that have previously defined what kept him safe.  

These boundaries may relate to the physical body, social circle, our moral codes (what behaviors we will and won’t accept from ourselves), and our dignity (what we will and won’t tolerate from others).  

Deep in the throes of addiction, gripped by obsession, we cross that line again and again, pushing our boundaries further and further away from us.

These internal boundaries, which once prevented us from hurting ourselves and others, now can no longer keep our behaviors in check.  We’ve freed ourselves from our own protection and left the door wide open for careless indulgence in our drug, and we descend madder and madder into a tight, small hole of existence where the only thing that keeps us going is more drugs, even when it’s become obvious that we are destroying ourselves by continuing in that cycle.  Our mind directs this breaking-down of our boundaries, it has a life of its own and we can’t do anything to stop it from running our lives.  Just a thought.
