Police in New Jersey discovered 17 bodies piled inside a nursing home’s small morgue after receiving an anonymous tip about a body being stored in an outside shed, the New York Times reported Wednesday.
The 17 bodies were among 68 recent deaths linked to Andover Subacute and Rehabilitation Center I and II, the state’s largest licensed facility. When police arrived, the corpse had been removed from the shed.“They were just overwhelmed by the amount of people who were expiring,” said Eric C. Danielson, the police chief in Andover, according to the New York Times.
Of those who died, 26 people had tested positive for coronavirus, underscoring the wildfire-like spread that many fear could be disastrous for nursing homes and other long-term care facilities that house vulnerable populations like the elderly.
Of the patients left in the facilities, 76 have tested positive for the virus, along with 41 staff members, including an administrator. Andover Subacute and Rehabilitation II recently got a “much below average” rating from Medicare for staffing levels, inspections and patient care according to the New York Times.
The discovery of the bodies found in the shed was initially reported by the New Jersey Herald, and led to worried staff members and relatives pleading for help. (RELATED: Fauci: Americans Could Carry COVID-19 Immunity Papers)
“To all the people calling into the governor’s office, the congressman’s office to help us tell them WE NEED HELP,” a representative of Andover Subacute & Rehab Center II wrote on Monday in a later-deleted Facebook post, according to the New York Times.
Of the 60,000 residents in long-term care facilities in New Jersey are ill with the coronavirus, the New Jersey Herald reported.
“Now, with so many facilities affected, families are calling us desperately seeking information and answers about why their loved ones are not being tested, questioning whether they are receiving the proper treatment or, if they are not COVID-19-positive, whether they are being adequately protected,” Laurie Facciarossa Brewer, the New Jersey Long-Term Care Ombudsman, told the New Jersey Herald.
null and void
do they need to “Bring out their dead?”
Is the the Lib’s version of ‘ballots in the trunk’ and will find them at the most opportune moment?
Anonymous tip? Makes it sound nefarious. The article says the place was publicly begging the state to help them as the bodies began stacking up and they got nothing in return. Now the State Police finally ‘discovers’ there was a problem.
But Governor Murphy is SOOOOOOOO concerned about those “precious human souls”, eh?
Murphy is human garbage. Hope he gets and dies from this.
Investigators should also look around for absentee ballots.
It’s a Jersey thing..
This story will lend credence to my theory that as a society we are massively failing a test and it will cost us that we may never return to a normal life again.
The test is the value we put on life. Any life. And the fact that a story like this will get minimum play because it is the elderly.
Now imagine that it was a daycare center and all those being killed by the virus were very young children.

Would someone please diagram that sentence for me? /s
In a country that aborts babies by the thousands every day, do you think that would really make an impact? We’re finished as a society.

They are in a somewhat rural area and the buildings look like they’ve been there awhile.
This place gets terrible reviews from people who have worked there and I’d say the problems go back many years.
CV-19 attributable? Maybe that’s where Gov phil murphy got the authorization to subvert the bill of rights? Wonder if he’ll go on Tucker’s show again after last night? Classic. Never would give an answer. Tucker gave him several chances o answer “Where did the authority come from to cancel first amendment guarantees?”
young children are the future....we elderly have seen our days....not that I want to die, but the future is the young, just like it was when we were all young....we all had our chance...
another thing...if people REALLY REALLY cared about their elderly, they would be in their homes, being taken care of...
WHAT kind of people work in this place?? Who owns it??
Wouldn’t doubt it. I’ve seen NJ institutions for the handicapped first hand and they were atrocious. 10% of the staff cared and the rest were ghetto trash.

Murphy told Tucker that that was ‘above his paygrade’ to understand/determine the Constitution’s Bill of Rights.
An abject failure of an official elected to lead.
I USED to think that way also, but some parents CANNOT be cared for by their children especially since a lot of them live to be in their 90’s and the kids would be in their 60’s and 70’s!!
