Sweden Cared More About Islamophobia Than Saving Elderly in Nursing Homes From Coronavirus

...Sweden has a higher rate of deaths in care homes than Norway or Finland, and lockdown enthusiasts have struggled to explain why keeping bars open would be killing people in housing for the elderly.

But there is a crucial difference between Swedish, Norwegian, and Finnish care homes.

A decade ago, in Sweden, 13% of the workers in care homes were immigrants, while only 5% in Norway and 1% in Finland were. Currently, 28% of care home workers in Sweden are foreigners, but in Stockholm, where the real dying has occurred, 55% of the care home workers are foreign immigrants...

Again, much of the coronavirus death rate can be explained by how nursing homes are run, which is impacted very much by a given state/country's policies.

In New York, Cuomo created a new order so that hospital patients who had tested positive for the virus were deliberately sent to nursing homes. The homes weren't even allowed to know if the person the hospital was sending to them had tested positive, and they weren't able to do any tests on them as well.

He just changed that policy the other day, and ordered that hospitals can no longer send patients that test positive for the virus to any nursing home. He's trying to claim it isn't a reversal, but...it's a reversal. I guess he needed to reach his goal of 5,000 elderly dead before he could change the rule.

And another thing that really irks me, is that this disgusting a-hole actually had a press conference on Mother's Day, and invited his mother, who was in a remote location to share that time with him on the air. He never even considered the fact that many of those elderly he murdered, had been someone's mother, and their loved ones had not been able to share that day, nor will they ever be able to share another Mother's Day with the loved one who died under Cuomo's evil policies.

Now that is an idea that makes sense.

Nursing homes: herded folks, elderly and more susceptible, nursing staff that come and go as well as family visitors that can bring it in. Not as sterile as a hospital (made to be familiar, comfortable, lots of personal affects).

Once it takes foot in a home it probably spreads like a wild fire and has a horrible mortality rate.

I hope the families of the nursing home victims sue the living hell out of Cuomo.
