Despite the widespread lockdowns and increased focus on elderly deaths across the country, nursing home inspectors in California weren’t undergoing mandatory coronavirus testing as part of their job, claims an investigation by The Los Angeles Times.

The Times reports that roughly 500 nursing home inspectors tasked with ensuring compliance with infection control regulations were sent to the state’s 1,200 skilled nursing facilities — and some locations were visited more than once.

The investigation was published early Friday morning after conducting interviews with eight “registered nurses working as inspectors for the California Department of Public Health — all of whom spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of retaliation.”

The Times reports that one inspector said nursing home administrators were “absolutely, visibly shocked” they weren’t required to be tested, and believes those places “only let us in because we’re the state; they’re scared to say no.”

Trump’s fault!

Average citizens need to stop being “ scared” of someone who works for the government.

Stand Up for what’s right, people.

I have a question I don't know if it has been asked, much less answered: With all the "spike in new cases", how many are of people who always wear their masks when out and about?

I mean, if a significant percent of new cases is of those who constantly wear masks, then the masks aren't working and we need to to do something else, right? I can't find the stats anywhere...

Romans 13:14. I was a code enforcement official for 25 years. In the vast majority of places in this country, you don't need to be afraid of any kind of code official unless you are in VERY serious violation of of the applicable code. It's unpleasant and a pain in the keister for officials to fine or shut-down a business and it's rarely done. Of course there are corrupt big cities and small towns where this is business as usual, but I would not own a business or never live in such a place.

The government needs to figure out the difference between registered death and likely death. The Democrats aren’t done yet.

Could COVID positive liberals be purposefully infecting others in hope of continuing the lockdown?

California any questions

The government inspectors are being used as biological weapons.

It may be mere Cuomo-level incompetence, but it serves Democrat purposes.

It is a elderly holocaust brought on by the governors. They knew it and did it anyway. NOTHING will be done.
