Four years after former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo issued an executive order mandating nursing homes to accept COVID-19 positive patients, the decision continues to face scrutiny and demands for accountability. This month, a subpoena was announced by @COVIDSelect, supported by RepBradWenstrup and RepMalliotakis, to compel Cuomo to appear for a deposition to answer for the order, which is linked to the deaths of thousands of nursing home residents. Various opinions and editorials have revisited the issue, questioning how the crisis was handled and the ongoing efforts to deal with COVID-19. Criticisms extend beyond Cuomo, with New York Governor Hochul accused of covering up the initial cover-up and the New York Democratic Party criticized for their handling of the nursing home deaths issue and the perceived failure to pursue it adequately.

OPINION | N.Y. Dems must face COVID nursing home deaths The Party’s failure to pursue the issue makes them complicit in the disenfranchisement of a vulnerable population. Opening an impeachment and calling for Cuomo’s resignation was not good enough. https://t.co/OJE0Bs3Dr3
