 CBS2 reached out to the state Department of Health on Tuesday evening and received the following response:

“We’ve said from the start that protecting our most vulnerable populations, including nursing home residents, is our top priority. The Department of Health has conducted more than 1,300 COVID-19 focus inspections — at least one onsite visit to every single nursing home and adult care facility in the state — since March 1. As the Department’s in-depth analysis of nursing home data found, COVID-19 fatalities in nursing homes were related to asymptomatic nursing home staff. We continue to support and protect those frontline nursing home workers with more than 14 million pieces of PPE.”

 As the CDC itself has said, this virus had likely already reached community spread in NYS by the time the feds banned travel from Europe.

As Dr. Zucker said previously, if you want to blame someone, blame the virus.
