A divided Supreme Court has dealt a significant blow to the family of COVID-19 victims, ruling that former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo cannot be held personally liable for the "wrongful death" of nursing home residents who died during the pandemic. The court's decision marks a major victory for Cuomo, who had been facing a lawsuit alleging that his administration's handling of nursing home data and COVID-19 protocols led to the deaths of thousands of elderly patients. Critics of Cuomo's handling of the crisis have long argued that his policies, including a directive that required nursing homes to admit COVID-positive patients, contributed to the devastating loss of life. The Supreme Court's ruling has sparked widespread outrage from advocacy groups and families of the victims, who claim that justice has been denied.
