Fox News senior meteorologist Janice Dean’s sister-in-law Donna Johnson lost her parents to COVID-19 after she says they were exposed in New York assisted living facilities.

Fox News senior meteorologist Janice Dean’s sister-in-law Donna Johnson, who lost her parents to COVID-19 after they were exposed in New York assisted living facilities, stressed on Tuesday that people do not go to nursing homes to die.

"Our governor gets on TV and says such ridiculous things," Johnson told "Fox & Friends" on Tuesday. "I think the latest thing that has me so saddened is when he talks about nursing home patients, he acts like you go to a nursing home and you die, big deal.".

 "You don't go to a nursing home and die. It is people's homes," she stressed, noting that some of the assisted living facilities are rehabilitation centers and people of all ages are there.

Andrew Cuomo said, "Look, whether a person died in a hospital or died in a nursing home, it’s — the people died."?

‘I was in a hospital, I got transferred to a nursing home, and my father died.' ‘My father was in a nursing home, got transferred to a hospital, my father died.’ People died," he reportedly continued.

Died in a nursing home," Cuomo added, according to the Post.

She noted that her mother was in a separate assisted living facility nearby and the plan was for her father "to get a little healthier and go join my mom in the assisted living.".

Johnson also noted that shortly thereafter, her mother started not to feel well and about a week later was transported to the hospital where she tested positive for COVID-19 and "progressively got worse." Johnson said her mother died in the hospital.

On Monday, Cuomo declined to say whether he or any members of his office had been subpoenaed in connection with ongoing investigations into how the administration handled nursing home care during the pandemic.

Johnson said on Tuesday that she is "proud" of her sister-in-law Janice Dean for being a voice for families who have lost family members living in nursing homes and assisted living facilities
