Another Louisiana nursing home resident who was being held at a temporary shelter during Hurricane Ida before being moved elsewhere on Thursday has died, according to a coroner, marking the fifth such death of residents that were transported to the facility.
The temporary shelter, a warehouse in the town of Independence, was overwhelmed after receiving hundreds of residents from seven nursing homes on August 27 ahead of Hurricane Ida, officials said, as power and sanitary conditions were failing.
"Electricity went out more than once, and when that happens then the oxygen concentrators stop working. So that's a problem in itself. I spoke with the governor and we got oxygen tanks moved in here," Independence Police Chief Frank Edwards told CNN affiliate WVUE.

Where’s Cuomo?
Location, location, location. They picked a bad location.
Bet oxygen was the least of it.
Wonder what the temp inside that building is. Add high humidity and that’s a recipe for disaster with seniors.
When you have to depend on government to protect you, you are so f&^%ed.
They do a lot better at press conferences than boring nuts and bolts stuff in the real world.
Final findings... for this ‘final solution’??
Don’t nursing home residents die pretty regularly? It’s not generally a place you check out of.
No one even thinking of blaming biden.
The media is obviously downplaying and most likely not even reporting deaths from the Hurricane area... There must be many more deaths that haven’t been reported.
The latest statistic I saw is that if a person checks into a nursing home their average life expectancy is two years.
Some die the next day, some can last several years—I think that number is a median (half above, half below) not a mean (simple calculated average).
Most are very sick to begin with....
Where is FEMEA been a week and have not seen much of them on the news.....paperwork first ??
Exactly
This nursing home chain has a very problematic history. It was reckless of them to move their patients to Independence, directly in the storm’s path. This has nothing to do with Biden or our Democrat governor. This is entirely a failure within the private sector. The state AG is investigating, and criminal negligence charges may be coming.
Katrina part two. Sorry we wuz late, folks. We wuz lookin for some prior event to gauge our responses too.
This gotsta be the first time anything like this has ever happened in Louisiana!
I work in a nursing home and we loose a resident every two to three months. 5 deaths from seven nursing homes looks average to me.
Why do the Democrats want people to die?
Grabbing women’s breasts against their desires.
Yes, but do you “lose” them as well?...
LOL!
