A state senator from Franklin County has called for the immediate resignation of Pennsylvania Health Secretary Dr. Rachel Levine, saying her actions were a major factor in the large number of COVID-19 cases and deaths in the state’s nursing homes.
Sen. Doug Mastriano, a first-term Republican representing Franklin, Adams and a part of York counties, said Levine has committed the equivalent of policy malpractice in her handling of the coronavirus pandemic, specifically in her handling of the virus’s spread through nursing homes and other long-term care facilities.
Mastriano specifically targeted Levine for a policy which called for nursing home and long-term care patients who had been hospitalized after testing positive for COVID-19 to be returned to their homes when they were ready for release from hospitals. Mastriano said that contributed to major outbreaks in numerous nursing homes around the state.
“Our secretary of health, Dr. Levine, decided that it would be good to allow COVID-positive patients to be returned to elder-care facitlies. And as a result of that, it broke out like fire,” Mastriano said during a rally with constituents at the base of the Capitol steps Monday.
"The very same people our secretary of health said were going to be vulnerable... It unleashed heck upon our dearly beloved fathers, mothers, grandparents, aunts and uncles. I think that’s unconscionable, unacceptable, and that secretary needs to be held accountable for that awful decision,” Mastriano said.
The senator also blasted Levine for what he called the department’s poor response to the outbreaks in homes once it had become apparent they were one of the epicenters of the problem in Pennsylvania.
To date, state figures show that nursing homes residents have accounted for 2,529 of the state’s 3,707 reported COVID-19 deaths. That is a pattern that has been echoed in most states across the country, however.
In a policy guidance issued in March, the Health Department stated, in part:
"Nursing care facilities must continue to accept new admissions and receive readmissions for current residents who have been discharged from the hospital who are stable to alleviate the increasing burden in the acute care settings. This may include stable patients who have had the COVID-19 virus."
Health Department Press Sectretary Nate Wardle said there were valid reasons for that policy, and challenged Mastriano’s interpretation of the data.
In most cases, Wardle said, individuals being readmitted to a long-term care facility from the hospital with COVID-19 would be those who would have had COVID-19 before they were sent to the hospital,. In these cases, the readmitted resident would not be introducing it to the facility, if they already had COVID-19 and needed more acute care at the hospital.
There were other cases, Wardle noted, in which persons with COVID-19 needed continuing care, but no longer hospital care, and was placed in a a long-term care facility that had bed space to ease capacity in the hospitals.
It was not immediately clear how often that happened, or if it was a direct cause of some of the worst outbreaks at long-term care facilities in the state.

Bucks in the philly area said it is going to open. Deleware County is getting angry with the Gov. Counting nursing home deaths.
Freakaziod WTF PENNSYLVANIA????
And there are a lot of us, but we only get one vote, and we only get to vote while we're living.
These are great developments. Berks appears to be joining the rebel alliance as well. That will increase pressure on Dem-led Montco.
The Nationl Guard is helping out in some of these nursing homes. This fucking freak put my child in danger.

Meanwhile, Fuehrer Wolf is threatening to cut funding for counties which reopen without his decree.
Wolf is getting pillored on the 6 abc website.
It doesn’t need to be this way!!!
My wife and I live in one of the 18 Senior Facilities run by Univ. of Pittsburgh Medical Center which to date have not had a single case, thanks to good management and care.
There are a lot of angry people in PA (all Republicans), and that is good to see - but not near enough.
Unfortunately, all of the Democrats and even most of the Republicans have swallowed Fauci’s fear-mongering, hook, line and sinker.
They are all wearing masks and being good little social distancers, and they frown on (literally) anyone who isn’t complying.
These people aren’t willing to go back to normal until they get the official “all clear” from Fauci and his stormtroopers.
There are different motives for this compliant behavior. Most Democrats are fine with anything that hurts Trump and this shutdown obviously hurts Trump.
Too many people of both parties are inclined to heed authority - especially if they think it is a crisis.
The Founders are rolling in their graves.
Things are changing, and will continue to change.
Bu pissing off the middme of the state he is gairteeimg that PT will carry that area by more than last time.

Any nursing home that was told to accept wuhanvirus positive people back in, should’ve told the gov and health department to pound sand.
Any gov/gov official that ordered those people returned, is guilty also.
Keep in mind that she/he/it was appointed as a big FU to social conservatives. She/he/it is not even a trained epidemiologist, but a psychologist, a field well known for its large number of loony tune practitioners.
They are indeed changing. I’m hearing some very interesting comments from people whose eyes are opening. Dismay at how easily fellow citizens give up liberty, unhappiness over online censoring of alternative medicine, half-empty hospitals, etc.
Well, mentally ill people may not have good judgment, especially if they’re liberals on top of it.

while a young kid Richie could then see
his dickie would cause him great frenzy
so he took a huge axe
gave his penis some whacks
and became a grim bigwig in Pennsy..
