The letter from the Justice Department’s civil rights division asks the state to hand over a breakout of hospital deaths that its health department has been collecting since at least April but not made public. Yes, we’ve learned a lot of lessons, but 46 out of 50, it’s not a predominantly New York problem.”
“New York, actually, we’re number 46 out of 50 in terms of percentage of deaths in nursing homes - 46 out of 50. everybody wants to point fingers,” Cuomo said in an appearance on CBS’ “This Morning” earlier this month to promote his new book on his handling of the crisis. New York’s method of counting allows Cuomo to boast that his state has a lower percentage of nursing home deaths compared to other states. His spokesman, Rich Azzopardi, called the Justice Department’s latest request just days before the presidential election a politically motivated “sham” and a “scummy abuse of power.”Īn AP analysis in August found New York is probably undercounting nursing home deaths by thousands, noting that a separate federal count since May that included resident deaths in hospitals was 65 percent higher than the comparable state count.Ĭuomo, who has generally been praised for flattening the curve in a state hit with a nation-topping 33,400 deaths, has nonetheless faced unrelenting criticism over his handling of nursing homes, particularly a controversial March 25 order that sent thousands of recovering COVID-19 patients from hospitals into nursing homes at the height of the pandemic. Ed., 81(5) (2004) 673-676.Cuomo’s administration has repeatedly refused to release such nursing home data to lawmakers and the media, including a public-records request from The Associated Press dating back to May.

His research interests will particularly revolve around understanding catalyst synthesis and manufacture, catalyst adsorption and kinetics, transport processes in catalysis, and novel reactors for more efficient production of chemicals. Since October 2008 he has been seconded to the Department of Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology, for an initial period of 5 years, tasked with building a collaborative relationship between the department and Johnson Matthey. During this period he has also been a visiting guest lecturer at the University of Reading and Imperial College. These catalyst models were then used in the design and understanding of vehicle exhaust aftertreatment systems, with an emphasis on diesel applications. At JMTC he developed reaction engineering computer models, based on kinetics measured for real-world catalysts.
During this second Oxford period he also took up a short BA Media fellowship to work at New Scientist magazine.Īfter almost 4 years in Oxford, he joined the Johnson Matthey Technology Centre (JMTC) in Sonning Common near Reading (2000), working in the Gas Phase Catalysis Department. Following these posts, Andy returned to Malcolm Green's group in Oxford to research metal carbide catalysts, carbon fullerene and nanotube materials, C1 chemistry and hydrocarbon selective oxidation. Then a Science and Technology Association post-doctoral fellowship took him to Tsukuba, Japan, to work on selective hydrocarbon oxidation in electrochemical reactors. He continued in the field of heterogeneous catalysis, first with a post-doctoral position in Strasbourg with Professor Marc Ledoux, where he studied novel metal carbide/oxycarbide catalysts for the alkane isomerisation reaction. Andy graduated from Kingston Polytechnic, and went on to research methane activation chemistry for a DPhil with Professor Malcolm Green at the University of Oxford.
