Experts found that tens of thousands of people in nursing homes "have died from neglect and sorrow related to the pandemic," according to an eye-opening report from the Associated Press.
The report stated that there have been more than 97,000 residents of U.S. nursing homes who have died during the coronavirus pandemic. A nursing home expert analyzed 15,000 U.S. long-term care facilities and estimates that for every two coronavirus victims in nursing homes, there is a person who died prematurely of other causes.
The report stated that the "excess deaths" in nursing homes could total over 40,000 since March.
"Interviews with dozens of people across the country reveal swelling numbers of less clear-cut deaths that doctors believe have been fueled not by neglect but by a mental state plunged into despair by prolonged isolation listed on some death certificates as 'failure to thrive,'" the AP reported. Nursing home watchdogs claim that they have been "flooded" with reports of nursing home inhabitants suffering from neglect, including people being "kept in soiled diapers so long their skin peeled off, left with bedsores that cut to the bone, and allowed to wither away in starvation or thirst."
The article featured several surviving family members of the victims who have died at long-term care facilities for alleged neglect. Barbara Leak-Watkins' 87-year-old Army veteran father, Alex Leak, went for a check-up in February, where he reportedly "had gone so long without water his potassium levels rocketed and his kidneys started failing."....

Till we meet again Dad.
And Trump is blamed.
Around here, most Covid deaths occur in long-term facilities.
Not working. Not paying taxes. So what does the Cuomo’s of the country have for them?

The facility my wife is in does their best but the bureaucrats are insufferable in their ignorance and their uncaring!
My mother is in a long term care home in Virginia. El Chapo has more freedom than she does.
Part of the plan. “They” think old people consume to many resources. A virus was engineered to kill off the weakest (i.e. cut health care costs) and the rest of them were killed by loneliness.
"Former [New York] Gov. George Pataki slammed [current New York] Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s nursing home policies during the coronavirus pandemic as a “disaster” that may have unnecessarily caused the deaths of “thousands” of vulnerable elderly residents.
In a rare swipe at his successor Friday night, Pataki called for an independent probe “so this never happens again"
Pataki said the state Health Department should never have issued an edict requiring nursing homes to accept coronavirus virus patients into nursing home facilities filled with sick, elderly patients — the population most at risk from the killer COVID-19 bug.
Compounding the misguided policy, Pataki said, is that the nursing homes lacked the personal protective equipment or testing capability to isolate and contain the spread of COVID-19. ...."

SPJNK. All 5 of them.
50% of nursing home patients die within 6 months. . The median stay is 13 months. The stats are brutal, but they are facts
All the more reason they should be comfortable in their final days. Keeping families from them is torture. But, I guess, if they die alone, in despair, in 4 months versus 6, well who cares? Those 2 months might actually matter to the person who loses them even if not to anyone else.
