Cuomo Nursing Home Policy Proves Tragic

I believe the White House is saying 14 days of declining infections.

That would be a MINIMUM

 

Hmm so you agree with Trump and I don't! That's funny!

 

At a minimum

I guess you missed that

 

“They don’t have a right to object. That is the rule and that is the regulation, and they have to comply with that,” Cuomo, a Democrat, said in a Thursday news conference.

Cuomo needs to be charged with these crimes. Its insanity! INSANITY! They had one job, protect the at risk populations. Nursing homes were ground zero, the place to focus on and protect. Protect, not inject the virus into them.

This is just INSANE. Government tells the people to stay home, listen to professionals, trust the government with new powers, they know better than us. INSANE. The health care community and government through practice and policy became the paramount vector of Covid-19 to the most at risk group! They thought it wise to put Covid-19 positive patients in with 90 year olds. INSANE.

People need to go to jail and it isn't who Cuomo want's to toss under the bus:

Cuomo has defended the policy in the face of rising objections, saying Thursday that facilities that did not follow the rules for managing COVID patients would be investigated by state health officials and the state’s attorney general, which could result in fines or the facility losing its license.

Son of a ****ing bitch.

Didn't Italy have the same issue and death counts? Seems the same policy was put into place there as well.

Covid-19 patients in Italy's virus epicentre of Lombardy were transferred to nursing homes by an official resolution with catastrophic consequences.
In the early days of March, when northern Italy faced a severe health crisis from the coronavirus outbreak, the scarcity of available hospital beds brought the public health system to its knees.

On March 8, a resolution by Attilio Fontana, president of the Lombardy region – Italy's economic engine and the epicentre of the epidemic with 12,213 deceased - sentenced hundreds of elderly people hosted in nursing homes to death.

The regional resolution offering150 euros ($163) to nursing homes for accepting Covid-19 patients to ease the burden on hospitals, contributed to the uncontrolled spread of the virus among health workers and elderly guests, turning these institutions into virus hotbeds.

Hosting Covid-19 patients in nursing homes was like lighting a match in a haystack.

"We read it twice, we did not want to believe what we read," says Luca Degani, president of UNEBA, the trade association that brings together about 400 rest homes in the region, "the virus affects everyone indistinctly, but its lethality and gravity take a very significant logarithmic curve if people are aged and suffer multiple pathologies."
​

I particularly like:

Italian authorities have started investigations into nursing home deaths during the outbreak and police seized documents related to the Pio Albergo Trivulzio in Milan, a historic nursing home with over 1,000 elderly residents, and 13 other nursing homes in the region.

The Public Prosecutor's Office in Milan is investigating the matter. The charge is a culpable epidemic and multiple culpable homicides.

Maybe we can arrest all these front line healthcare heroes just after they cash their final "essential worker" grant from the state and just as they finish with their 20th self congratulatory parade!

F' these people!

 

Or you're highly partisan.
