A New York state directive to send recovering coronavirus patients to nursing homes reportedly resulted in 4,300 such patients going to those already vulnerable facilities before it was cancelled.
The directive was cancelled amid the growing concern and realization that residents of nursing homes were highly vulnerable to the virus, according to the Associated Press, which compiled the number.
Nursing homes residents are especially vulnerable to the virus considering they live in close quarters and many have pre existing medical conditions.
As the pandemic enters its roughly eighth week in the U.S., data shows that a large number of virus infections and deaths were in nursing homes and other assisted-living facilities. Beyond the close environment such factors as age and health, numerous reports show such facilities did not have proper health-safety procedures in place before the outbreak.
The facilities have acknowledged improvements are needed but also say they have been significantly underfunded to fully meet such requirements.
The Associated Press compiled its own tally to find out how many COVID-19 patients were discharged from hospitals to nursing homes under the March 25 directive after New York’s Health Department declined to release its internal survey conducted two weeks ago. It says it is still verifying data that was incomplete.
Other states with a high number of coronavirus deaths include New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
Given the 4,300 number comes from an Associated Press study, we can expect it has about the same credibility as a WHO study of CCP virus in China.
As of today New York has sent 25123 death certificates to the Feds. So there will be plenty of opportunities for scrutiny of those death certificates to sort out things like: 1. Place of residence before death. 2. Location at time of death.
It is a myth that white men sent smallpox-infected blankets to Native Americans.
But it is true that Cuomo sent COVID-19-infected patients to Nursing homes.
Murder most foul.
MEANWHILE: Cuomo and Cuomo do lame-ass comedy routines on CNN.
Just suppose a Republican was making jokes about COVID-19 while nearly 100,000 Americans were dead.
Ka-ching! With the Feds paying a $39,000 bounty for each corona death, that was a nice extra plus for getting rid of the elderly sick. And all the dead Democrats vote, so it’s a win/win.
BS! There was never any time period where we did not know people in nursing homes were most vulnerable. We knew this before the first case was found in the US.
I think it's plainly obvious why these orders were issued.
The leftists needed as many deaths as possible to further their political agenda.
I figured it was Cuomo, that despicable amoral piece of excrement, knocking elderly people off to save having to pay their NY pensions. I only hope his own end is as gruesome and painful as what he sentenced the elderly in the nursing homes to.
“””Ka-ching! With the Feds paying a $39,000 bounty for each corona death, that was a nice extra plus for getting rid of the elderly sick”””
Given that New York has had financial problems for years, the other ka-ching for Cuomo is the money the State of New York is saving by having fewer people on Medicaid and pensions as a result of them dying from CCP virus.
Other questions I have are:
How many of these nursing homes were primarily used for Medicaid patients?
How many pensioners of the New York State, County, and City governments died of CCP virus?
What you are saving about Javits and Comfort doesn’t add up. They can only take in people who need hospitalization. The people transferred back to nursing homes are recovered, but still infectious. Could they have gone to the Pres and asked to use these facilities for quarantine purposes? We need to find more details to make this stick.
How many of these nursing homes were primarily used for Medicaid patients?
I forgot to add:
How many covid positive patients were sent to the ‘upscale’ nursing homes where people pay extra to be there?
How many covid positive patients were sent to the lesser quality nursing homes where many of the patients are on Medicaid?
I heard this idiot on the news conference today and lecturing the people about wearing masks and he said “where in the constitution does it give you the right to infect others”. The hypocrisy!

I recall that Medicare changed some rules early on about hospital stays for covid positive patients.
Since each state administers Medicaid, the state may have rules about moving covid positive patients out of hospitals and into nursing homes.
I have not seen any analysis of rules in states like NY, NJ, or PA regarding moving covid patients to nursing homes.
A week ago I did a study of the states who were ordering covid positive to nursing homes. There were only a half dozen or states on the list.
Here is the study I mentioned:
Check out column P on this spreadsheet. These are the states forcing Long Term Care Facilities to accept covid patients

This was the data as of a week ago. I noticed they have added new info as of today.
AZ-—all the time
CA-—3/29-4/3
LA-—before 3/27
MI-—AFTER 4/14
NJ-—after 3/31
NY-—3/25-5/10
PA-—3/29-4/14
Hey the wHitmer way of physically beating the elderly to death wasnt as efficiant as the Cuomo nursing home COVID death camps. But unless you can think of a better way to exterminate the elderly pensioners, hey it’s the best they got for a final solution!
