Problems at a Massachusetts veterans home -- where 76 deaths were linked to a coronavirus outbreak -- began when patients from two dementia units were combined into one, a 174-page state report says.

“This decision was catastrophic,” the report on the Holyoke Soldier’s Home says, according to FOX station WFXT-TV in Boston. “Staff described the move as ‘total pandemonium,’ ‘when hell broke loose,’ and ‘a nightmare.’’’

“This [is] the most insane thing I ever saw in my entire life,” one staff member said, according to the report, the release of which was followed by the firing of the home's superintendent.

“The state report also accuses Walsh
and two other officials –
Chief Nursing Officer Vanessa Lauziere
and Medical Director Dr. David Clinton –
of excluding others,
including the home’s infection control nurse,
from participating in key decisions...”

Sounds like NYS. Rumor has it that some directors had a private line to Albany and that other employees and local officials were purposely kept out of the loop.

Supplies at Massachusetts veterans nursing were so low staffers split morphine drips.....In at least one case as soon as a veteran died, his IV drip was unhooked and the half-full bag transferred to another dying resident.

And after the first veteran had tested positive, the management took away all protective masks from residents’ rooms to preserve them.

Baker is a Republican governor who’s management of Covid has been gold.standard and in no way the cause of the Holyoke Soldier’s home situation. This was horrific mismanagement and cover up by the home admin itself not a “Cuomo special” by the Governor.

It was stupidity, but it was not intentional.

Think about what you write before you put it down. Killing vets intentionally is about as bad as it gets.

“When do we prosecute these governors for their deliberate acts of homicide on our families”

This crew has shown us new heights of the “by any means necessary” concept. In their demented and throughly sociopathic minds, the end of ridding ourselves of the Cheeto Orange Man justifies any expedient. It only needs to have a whiff of a chance of succeeding, either alone or in combination with one or more other similarly desperate measure, to get the nod from the powers that be. Oh to have been a fly on the wall in the black-painted, blood-spattered spirit-cooking throne-room of the high priest of Moloch in which the decision was made to punish Trump supporters by condemning thousands of innocent, frail and elderly souls, heartlessly trapped and isolated from any ans all family, friends and other loved ones in long-term care facilities and nursing homes, to grisly, hydroxychloroquine-free, ventilator-hastened deaths.

Baker is a “Republican” in that he’s a Democrat who couldn’t get nominated as a Democrat. Just like Bloomberg.
