Controversial Decisions by Governors in NY, NJ, and PA Criticized as Factors in High Level of COVID-19 Nursing Home Deaths

The governors of New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania are under fire for controversial nursing home policy decisions that critics say fueled coronavirus deaths in those facilities.

On March 25, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) ordered nursing homes to accept patients who tested positive for COVID-19, as the New York Postreported:

An executive at the unnamed Queens nursing home says that the facility was coronavirus-free until Gov. Andrew Cuomo forced facilities in the state to accept coronavirus patients on March 25.

In Pennsylvania, the Bucks County Courier Times reported:

On March 29, as Pennsylvania, New York and other states began ordering nursing homes to admit medically stable residents infected with the coronavirus, national trade groups warned it could unnecessarily cost more lives.

The health directives put “frail and older adults who reside in nursing homes at risk” and would “result in more people going to the hospital and more deaths,” the American Health Care Association and affiliates said at the time.

A month later, it appears government officials should have heeded the dire call to pursue different pandemic emergency plans.

Did stupid or criminally irresponsible just become synonyms for controversial?

Democrats always claim Republicans plan to push granny off the cliff.

But these Democrat governors actually sentenced thousands of innocent men and women to a horrible death while confined to facilities that were incapable of providing acute care.

Nursing homes send for the ambulance when a resident needs a higher level of care; these idiots force fed infected patients into the nursing homes under questionable government edicts.

Old folks die in nursing homes every day. They need to quit counting those deaths.

I friend of mine told me that his father died of natural causes and not even tested for COVID but they put COVID as the cause of death on the death certificate. They had to threaten a lawsuit for the state to change it.
