Death threat made to Flushing nursing home following revelation of a high amount of COVID-19 related deaths



PIX News

Update by THE CITY

  An inventory of COVID-19 deaths at New York nursing homes released by the Cuomo administration Friday provides an incomplete picture of how dire the situation is inside the facilities, medical workers and elected officials said.

 The long sought-after list of nursing homes and adult care facilities whose residents have died of confirmed or suspected COVID-19 only accounts for one-third of the 3,316 such deaths reported statewide as of Wednesday. 

That’s because the new data excludes deaths of residents who were transferred to hospitals — and, in some cases, doesn’t report fatalities thought to be COVID-related where formal virus tests weren’t conducted. 

The state’s data sheet says only “some” nursing homes reported the number of “presumed” COVID-19 deaths. Only one-fifth of the city’s 171 nursing homes were identified by name in the latest state data. Of them, nine reported 30 or more deaths stemming from COVID-19.

 Gov. Andrew Cuomo acknowledged that the information might be incomplete since nursing homes self-report the deaths that occurred in their facilities to the state. “We only know what they tell us,” Cuomo told reporters in Albany.

  But City Council member Mark Treyger (D-Brooklyn) said a lack of widespread testing at nursing homes is deflating the number of known patient fatalities because not every nursing home is reporting deaths where there wasn’t a confirmed positive. 

The testing deficit also is clearing the path for introducing the virus from outside — because asymptomatic staff members have been allowed and even encouraged to work, he noted. 

Treyger said he’s been hearing a host of concerns about nursing homes in southern Brooklyn, and called on the city and state to come up with an action plan to ensure adequate levels of staffing, protective equipment and testing kits. 

“I believe the situation at nursing homes is much worse than what’s being reported to the public,” said Treyger.

Look at the Bland basketball courts.

There are NO waiting lists for “rent controlled” apartments. Once a tenant vacates it becomes DECONTROLLED.
Rent stabilized apartments are another matter.

It's not that bad. Daddy said we will only have 5 people.


Feb. 26: “So we’re at the low level. As they get better, we take them off the list, so that we’re going to be pretty soon at only five people. And we could be at just one or two people over the next short period of time. So we’ve had very good luck.” — Trump

Fine job Assemblyman Kim. Now if only the Nursing Home administrators would to theirs and step up to the public. Stop hiding behind your incompetence and return calls from the press.

It's kind of ridiculous to wonder why Flushing doesn't have more cases of COVID.

the virus originated in China, somehow spread all over the world with China being one of the countries with the FEWEST cases

That is the ticket - have DeBlaz, the governor, anyone on city council come out to Queens and have a meal at one of those hole in wall food carts, or sleep in a flophouse, or ride a train car full of sleeping homeless - in other words live like those locals --- and lets see how long they keep up business as normal.

Trump should challenge them to put their money where their mouth is.

No you're not.
People like you always claim they have info they can't share.

Omg, not "startling" info you read on twitter.

NOT TRUE. It works on some patients and on others, it didn't work! Everyones systems are built differently. I've read alot of cases of where it DID work. As for the rent controlled apartments, I'm not sure about that. I do know that there are project houses in Brooklyn that are filled with fresh off the boat Chinese. A Congresswoman down there a few years back, tried to call them out for it but of course, she was called a racist and this Congresswoman was a black lady who was trying to defend all the poor black citizens down there who needed the housing.

Data is emerging that shows Covid 19 to be only marginally more lethal than the flu. Democrats and Trump haters and lovers of CNN and PBS should take a Xanax tablet and consider the following quote: When the facts change, I change my mind,-- John Maynard Keynes

Hydroxychloroquine is showing to have a very low success rate and very high risk.
Meaning, it can kill more people than it helps.

The studies in Brazil and France had to be cancelled because of this reason.
You might have read a lot of cases online where it worked but the actual clinical studies are showing otherwise.

—————————————————————————————————

It isn’t. There was a study based on race and their percentage of the population and their infection rate.

Asians were the least. Asians traditionally don’t kiss mouth to mouth. They take their shoes off when entering the home. Latinos has the highest rate of infection and Blacks came second.

What cover up? By whom and for what when Asian Americans are attacked through out the country.

How quickly the Italians, Irish, Jewish immigrants that were seen as diseased and inferior to the Native white Americans is soon forgotten by the second generations. Pathetic and disgraceful.

Where are the hotspots in our area? Queens and Brooklyn. Queens has places like Corona, Jackson Heights etc. as hotspots.

Brooklyn? The Orthodox or Hasidic Jews.

Massachusetts Chelsea with high Latino immigrants have been in the news due to high infection rates.

The Wuhan virus naturally mutates and scientists discovered those infected in NY were not from the strain from China like in Seattle but from Europe.

I had thought Chinese Americans coming back from China would have been the main disease vector but that doesn’t appear to be the case.

What about states with Republican Governors like Maryland who went to S Korea to obtain test kits because Trump is a failure?

Too bad you can’t be bothered to check red states and the infection rates. Is Massachusetts run by. Republican Governor?

De Blasio also went on social media prior to Cuomo and him realizing this is serious and he urged New Yorkers to patronize their neighborhood bars. Did you forget that?

Most Chinese and Kirean immigrants may not necessarily have the resources to go flying back to China to visit the old country. How many Italian, Irish, Jewish immigrants had the resources to take a ship back to Europe?

Maybe they have such lower cases because they can comprehend the Chinese language and use Chinese social media and learned to wear masks, keep their distance, after keeping up with the virus in Wuhan.

I saw Asians wearing masks long before it was mandatory in Queens. The Japanese wear it as a form of courtesy if they have some illness.

That’s also part of their hubris that they are super hygienic and didn’t have a lockdown nor test, track unlike South Korea, Taiwan and now Japan has the entire country on lock down as Tokyo’s medical beds were already maxed out in a news report a few weeks ago. It’s not fun when reports have sick people trying to gain access to a hospital as one by one the ambulance is told they can’t take anymore patients.

Cuomo did the right thing by building as much beds he could muster based on models.
