The article discusses the tragic consequences of a directive by former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, which led to over 15,000 COVID-related deaths in nursing homes. Columnists Vivian Zayas and Tracey Alvino emphasize the long-standing neglect of grieving families' cries for justice, culminating in a Department of Justice investigation into Cuomo's alleged deceit regarding his administration's role in the deaths. They highlight the formation of Voices for Seniors, a coalition advocating for accountability and transparency after years of political posturing and emotional suffering inflicted on the victims' families.
"The result was as deadly as it was predictable. More than 15,000 seniors perished in New York's nursing homes after Cuomo's infamous March 25, 2020, directive forced facilities to accept COVID-positive patients."
"For over five years, grieving families like ours were gaslit and told to move on. That’s why Voices for Seniors was formed by a collective of heartbroken, determined citizens who came together to speak for the voiceless."
