Turns out it was only senior citizens who died because of Andrew Cuomo, aka the “luv guvs” COVID-19 policy. Those housing people developmental disabilities were ordered to take in COVID-19 patients last year, resulting in the death of at least 552 people. All of this despite having a medical ship sitting off the coast off New York City and the Javitz Center being opened with hundreds, if not thousands of beds. This Cuomo clown really needs to face criminal charges. More than 6,900 people living in these facilities have already been infected with COVID.
Oh, man. It wasn't just seniors: Cuomo ordered homes for people with developmental disabilities to accept covid patients — and never rescinded the order. 552 died. Alone. Can you even imagine what their final moments were like? https://t.co/13bc8j6z7f

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s administration ordered homes for people with developmental disabilities to accept coronavirus patients — and never rescinded the order.
The April 10 directive, which mirrored the Cuomo administration’s controversial order to nursing homes, also told homes for people with developmental disabilities that they could not require hospitalized residents to be tested for coronavirus prior to admission or readmission.
Five hundred fifty-two residents at homes for people with developmental disabilities have died of coronavirus, the New York Office for People With Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD) told Fox News on Monday.
More than 6,900 people out of the more than 34,552 who live in such resident homes have been infected with the virus, according to OPWDD.
