In the first of two episodes on what went wrong in New York’s nursing homes, we look at the crisis through the eyes of a bereaved daughter.
When New York was the epicenter of the Covid-19 pandemic in the United States, Gov. Andrew Cuomo emerged as a singular, strong leader in the crisis. Now, his leadership is embattled and decisions at the peak of the crisis are being questioned. One issue in particular is the subject of a political firestorm and a federal investigation: the extent of deaths in nursing homes. Today, in the first of two parts, we look at the human face of the crisis through the case of Lorry Sullivan. Lorraine had a large extended family and they all loved her breads, her mashed potatoes and her potato salad. When Lorraine cooked for them, her daughter Lorry recalls, she would never get flustered and somehow always made sure there was enough food to go around.
