The growing scandal surrounding New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s response to COVID-19 in nursing homes unraveled over the past year, spanning complex public health policies, politically charged debates over pandemic-related decisions and thousands of deaths.
What follows is a USA TODAY Network New York analysis of the saga that culminated recently with revelations that New York’s true nursing home death toll topped 13,000 residents, as opposed to the 8,700 previously reported, and state lawmakers push to curtail Cuomo’s COVID-era powers amid newly launched federal investigations of the matter.
At the time, state and federal officials were scrambling to increase hospital capacity, including deploying a floating Navy hospital to New York City harbor, amid fears hospitals would be overwhelmed by COVID-19 patients.
