athena jones has been following the story. so tell us, how, and what numbers did they downplay there and how is the governor's office explaining that? >> reporter: hi, jim, the problems are piling on for governor cuomo. "the new york times" spoke to six people with direct knowledge of this, and late summer focused on covid-19 deaths in long-term care facilities. the original version of the report not released to the public at that time, it listed the number of nursing home deaths at nearly 10,000. but the times and the "wall street journal" say senior aids to the governor rewrote the report cutting the number of deaths in those facilities nearly in half. now that meant the state was not counting nursing home patients whose conditions were dying there. and it goes back to last march when the governor issued an order that prevented long-term care facilities from turning away any patients who have been treated at hospitals for covid-19. critics say that that policy added or helped fuel the spread of the virus in those facilities.
