Andrew Cuomo, the former governor of New York was hauled up to DC yesterday to explain his devastating co-mingling policy in the nursing homes … as if a plastic sheet was supposed to protect people.
Gretchen Whitmer, who’s still a governor, was mentioned…but only once.
Remember: Whitmer also decreed that infected elderly be let back into the nursing home in which they lived, exposing the vulnerable to infection and death.
That didn’t stop her from closing schools, prohibiting shopping for seeds and shuttering small businesses. All to protect the elderly.
Thousands are dead: probably 14,000.
That’s double what the state admits.
We may never know.
Remember, these numbers represent human beings.
What it all amounts to is this: Michigan officials overstated the threat of the coronavirus to the health of the general public, while it understated the devastation ripping through the state’s long term care facilities.
Even former Gov. Andrew Cuomo realized what was happening in New York’s congregate care centers.
He ended the practice of returning infected people back into the state’s LTC facilities in May 2020.
