'Utterly baffling': 76 vets die of Covid at soldiers home
NBC News ^ | Sept 2, 2020 | Joe Murphy

They stormed the beaches at Normandy, liberated Nazi concentration camps and fought the Cold War in Korea and Vietnam only to die in their beds from a virus that infiltrated the veteran’s center in western Massachusetts that was their home.

But on Friday the loved ones of the 76 veterans who, starting in March, died from the coronavirus at the Holyoke Soldiers Home, received a measure of belated justice.

Former Superintendent Bennett Walsh, a Marine, and the home’s ousted medical director, Dr. David Clinton, were each charged with five counts of “wantonly or recklessly” causing or permitting bodily harm and five counts of neglect or mistreatment of an older or disabled person, Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healy announced.

The victims will probably still have voted, but as Dems.

NBC finds justice, here, but thinks Cuomo is the bee’s knees.

I think bringing the gas chamber back on line for Cuomo might bring about some justice.

Speaking of Cuomo, there’s another residential care facility in Upstate NY with a large WuFlu outbreak. Steuben County. Again.

As a Vet, this just scares the shiite out of me! I have no biological kids of my own; I don’t expect much out of my step-sons. I’ll probably outlive Beau. I am hoping to get into one of our Veteran’s Homes when the time comes, and Wisconsin has a nice one up in Chippewa Falls. But, who will advocate for me when the time comes?

I need to start thinking long and hard about my options, other than saving a bullet for myself.

Effing Socialist Democrats and their wish for death and destruction upon anyone who gets in the way of their (perceived) POWER.

Wisconsin will most likely not be solid Red in the remainder of my lifetime. Maybe saving a bullet for myself IS my best option, LOL!

They were not allowed hydroxychloroquine and zinc.

Thank you for your service, Ma’am.

We go back a long way on FR but I never knew about this until now.

FReegards!

It doesn't matter which state you are in when the VA is concern, they will kill you whether you go to a VA facility in a Red State or Blue State. Most the workers are brain dead Democrat voters, that is my opinion. If they were SMART Republican voters they probably would not end up working at a VA facility. (Mostly truthful sarcasm alert)

Like everywhere else, only staff allowed in and out, no outside visitors or loved ones.

This is brought in by the staff. Nobody tracks staff or their families for strict compliance. Lock the staff down in the facility.

You don’t know that Charlie Baker is a Republican, do you?

I DO get great care at my local VA in Madison, WI. We have an awesome Women’s Clinic that meets my every medical need. (Scary how many women are now being treated for PTSD. Really sad for their kids and families.)

However, I’m due for my annual exam and a few other minor things and I called and told them I was NOT coming into Madison until we get the All-Clear on the Covid, the mandatory mask stupidity, the rioting and looting and burning stops, the shootings stop and I don’t have to worry about running over the random ‘protestor’ playing in the road.

The nurse said, ‘We’re getting a LOT of that these days.’

There’s a REASON I moved OUT of Dane County. Madison is the BIGGEST of them, among many.

I’m ONE County over. 140 cases of Covid. NO hospitalizations. NO deaths. NO problems at our nursing homes.

I’ll stay put for now, Thanks! :)
