Exclusive — Seema Verma: Cuomo, Other Democrat Governors’ Coronavirus Nursing Home Policies Contradicted Federal Guidance
Breitbart ^ | 6/22/2020 | Matthew boyle

Posted on 06/22/2020 7:06:21 PM PDT by bitt

Seema Verma, the administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), told Breitbart News exclusively that New York’s Democrat Gov. Andrew Cuomo and other Democrat governors originally issued guidance that contradicted federal guidelines for nursing homes battling the coronavirus pandemic.

“I just want to make it very clear that our guidance was absolutely crystal clear,” Verma said in an exclusive interview late last week. “It was clear and unmistakable. Any insinuation to the contrary is woefully mistaken at best and dishonest at worst. We put out our guidance on March 13. It’s very clear when it says that, I’m actually going to read this to you, it says that: ‘When should a nursing home accept a resident who is diagnosed with COVID-19?’ It says: ‘A nursing home can accept a resident diagnosed with COVID-19 and still under transmission-based precautions,’ which means if this person is infectious you have to take precautions. It says ‘as long as the facility can follow CDC guidance for transmission-based precautions.’ It says: ‘If a nursing home cannot, it must wait until these precautions are discontinued,’ meaning if you are not able to care for this patient—somebody is still positive and you’re not equipped to care for the patient, then you shouldn’t accept the patient into your care. That’s really important because longstanding discharge—when you’re discharging a patient from the hospital, longstanding guidelines require when you transfer them somewhere you transfer them to a place that can take care of their needs whether they’re going home or they’re going to a nursing home or some other facility.”

“This is what democracy looks like!”

Really? Did they take a vote on it? Who was allowed to vote?

“This is what democracy looks like!”

Where did the that quote come from? I didn't see it in the article.

It has been published locally in western PA. Medical examiners and hospitals raised their concerns from the beginning. It was out there, however the "occupation media" buried the genocide.

Hospitals have taken a beating here. Not only did they have prepared COVID floors, they also had step down units in the same wings. They were ordered by the state to return the patients to nursing homes. Not a single step down unit bed saw a patient.

The butchers of PA are Wolf and the totalitarian tranny Levine.

Levine pulled his 90 year old elderly mother out of the nursing home and put her in a hotel. This was before the nursing homes were ravaged. Why? Was it premeditated murder for a political end?

Cuomo lied. He said he was following Trump CDC guidelines. The granny killer issue is sticking.

The directive came out in March.

It was published on the website. In March.

I saw it on the website. In March.

The info was easily accessible to everyone.

Cuomo didn’t give a damn.

Cuomo, up until last month, also allowed positive staffers to continue working at their facilities.

It won’t be long before Cuomo switches from blaming the “Federal Government” and changed gears to the “that was so long ago” defense.
