@Phaedrus In New York State nursing home deaths were worsened by a colossal bureaucratic blunder on the part of the state: forcing nursing homes to take COVID-19 patients that came to them. The reasoning was that COVID-19 patients would be safer in a facility than at home, failing to grasp the risk of COVID-19 transmission. Cuomo's blame evasion on this has been shameful, a giant blemish on his (comparatively speaking) good handling of this.
