Again, a big to do about nothing.   I'm more concerned about Gov. Andrew Cuomo's NY health dept. on March 24 issuing an order to New York nursing homes requiring them to readmit covid-19 positive residents to the homes, and that nursing homes could not refuse to accept new residents who were covid-19 positive. Now the idiot governor wants an investigation of why there were so many covid-19 deaths in New York nursing homes.

If you're going to attack someone, at least make sure your facts are
correct. The abnormally high death rate in New York's nursing homes
occurred weeks before he issued his advisory on March 25, not the
24th. The deaths occurred throughout the month of March, not since
the advisory was issued yesterday.

The whole paragraph is 4th-5th grade English. Very easy, but let me spell
it out.

Weeks ago, it was found that New York nursing homes had an abnormally
high death rate. At that time, the Governor said there would be an
investigation into that problem. Yesterday, 4/25, he issued an order, called
an advisory (see below, note the date), stating exactly what you said it did.

"No resident shall be denied re-admission or admission to the NH solely
based on a confirmed or suspected diagnosis of COVID-19."

He didn't issue the order and then wonder why so many were dying in
nursing homes, which is what you said. He wanted to know why so many
were dying weeks ago, long before he issued the order.

Better check your "FACTS" a little more carefully.  The date on the order is March 25, 2020, not April 25, 2020.  So get your facts straight.

You clearly didn’t actually listen to Trump’s press conference, Trump did not suggest you inject Lysol into your body. Not once did he suggest that. He asked the research team if there was something we could inject that would cleanse the body of the virus similar to cleaning products. If you read this parallel comparison and understood it as inject Lysol, this is a problem. Some facts to consider while calling this president a moron: Many of you inject Botox to fix your faces. Botox is a poison. Many people are saved from chemotherapy, which is a poison. This poison cleanses the body of cancer cells and makes you very sick. A similar drug cleanser is not a dumb idea, but an idea that clearly has been used before for both saving lives and avoiding wrinkles, yet you compare his idea to injecting Lysol. Heat and light also have a history of saving lives. Heat kills the flu as we see every spring. Light is used in radiation therapy, again to kill cancer. Light therapy is also used to help with depression.These suggestions for research is what you should be looking at as hope, but instead you look to mock and dismiss as dumb, and that is seriously a tragedy.

Here is the comment by Kkru394 about the news conference.

Someone on here said Trump was lying when he said that the U.S. has conducted more covid-19 tests than any other nation. The latest stats from John Hopkins University show the U.S. has tested the most people at 5.4 million with Russia in second place with 2.8 million tests.

I was going to say good job on getting one right, but you just had to
get your little jab in there at the end. I may have read it wrong, but you
have no leg to stand on and no room to tell anyone to get their facts
straight.

However, notwithstanding my mistake, the facts remain the same. He
said weeks ago there would be an investigation into why the death
rate at the nursing homes was so high. That's when I read the article,
maybe even around the time he issued the advisory. IDK, it's been a
while.

Misquoting me and Trump this time. Does that make what you said
above, fake news? He might kick you out of his fan club for that.

I quoted him verbatim, directly from his speech. I watched him say it.
He said the US has done more testing than all other nations combined.
That's not even anywhere close to being true.

As I said in my post about it then, just the next eight countries with
the highest number of cases after the US had more than double the
number of tests as the US (not including China because we don't
have those numbers for China). That was then. IDK what it is now.

Think about that. Out of 210 countries and territories around the
world affected by this virus, just eight have done more than twice
as much testing as the US. If you were to add in the number of tests
from all the other countries, the difference would be astronomical.

Testing in the other countries ranges from a few dozen to a few
hundred to several hundred thousand to over a million for the UAE.
There are also some countries with no numbers for testing.

 Wrong again. Cuomo talked about an investigation of nursing home deaths last week. That's why you used the 4/25 date. So from 3/25 to 4/25 New York nursing homes were operating under the order to not deny admittance of covid-19 positive patients to nursing homes.

OMG if that is the grade  level at which our Department of Health writes memos---sure doesn't say much about the people in charge.

I want adults, not kids to write important correspondence 😏🤣

The average American reads at about a 7th-grade level.

That's because of our teachers' union run public school system.

Looks like Putin just can't escape his Communist heritage. The Russian police detained a Russian doctor who alleges the Russian government is under reporting the number of coronavirus cases in Russia.  I guess once a KGB thug, always a thug.
