The states hit the hardest are easy to spot:
IF you live in a BLUE state, you are much more likely to die from COVID-19.
So what are the blue states doing differently that might explain this observation?
One response I heard from a Democrat state was that there were about a dozen states forcing nursing homes to take in COVID-19 infected people. This graphic shows Ca, Mich, Pa and NY but there are several Democrat states with this policy of seeding nursing homes with COVID-19.
I've seen figures of around 70% of the infections and deaths occur in nursing homes. So what were the Democrat governors thinking to put so many seniors in nursing homes at risk? The last figures I've seen for NY is the number of deaths in Nursing Homes which were caused by the NH policy is over 5,000 persons.
Of course, I'm NOT implying that Democrat governors are intentionally killing seniors in nursing homes for political reasons. Just like I'm not saying there were dirty tricks in the last two major financial crashes that occurred during Presidential election years when the Democrats were trying to flip the White House to Democrat (2008 and 2020).
It looks like the Democrat states all initiated their nursing home seeding policies at the end of March to the first of April.
Spread that far and wide. Dems are utter scum, and that fact needs to become more widely known among the electorate.
That World Meter chart is wrong. MO has had 670 deaths.
See post #34!Bring Out Your Dead
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the Bring Out Your Dead ping list (formerly the Ebola ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
The false positive rate was 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the Bring Out Your Dead threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...
If a quarantine saves just one child's or one old farts life, it's worth it.
It’s time to proclaim it publicly....the Democrat governors that forced Covid positive patients into nursing homes full of populations vulnerable to the disease are guilty of changing those Nursing Homes into Auschwitz level death chambers.
There is no excuse for that.New York City had excess capacity built up for them that could have held the covid positive elderly until they tested clear of the virus. One facility, a 21 million dollar field hospital was just closed because it was never used.
They(the MSM and various politicians) will attempt to blame Trump for not going over the governors’ heads and just taking control the way FDR did during World War 2. I understand Trump recognizes the trap and the precedent that also sets in light of certain FEMA based executive orders that allow the Fed’s to just take over everything while splitting up the US into various Fema managed “territories” governed directly by the president and the US military. The constitution does grant wide latitude to the states as well.
Still, the Fed’s will get some of the blame by not countermanding what Cuomo et al did with respect to those Nursing Homes. It’s good the light is being shown now but the damage is done. Trump was ill served by many of his advisors who he trusted to do their jobs correctly!
Maybe conservatives were smart enough to get grandma out of the nursing home before she caught it.
