Andrew Cuomo brushed off concerns that his administration was undercounting nursing home deaths due to COVID-19 by not counting nursing home residents who died in hospitals. “If you die in the nursing home, it’s a nursing home death. If you die in the hospital, it’s called a hospital death,” the Democratic governor told Albany public radio station WAMC on Wednesday. A separate federal count in May that included resident deaths in hospitals was 65 percent higher than the state count that didn’t. He urged the public to look at the state’s nursing home death count.
