California is forcing nursing homes to take COVID-19 patients
Jazz ShawPosted at 5:01 pm on April 5, 2020

Desperate times may call for desperate measures, but that doesnâ€™t mean those measures are always smart or even effective. As part of a struggle to clear out ICU beds in California to make room for swelling numbers of COVID-19 patients, the California Department of Public Health has ordered all skilled nursing homes to take in patients regardless of their COVID-19 status. Considering the brutal death toll at other nursing homes where the virus has taken hold, this has a lot of the staff at nursing homes around the state understandably upset. (Los Angeles Times)

Death rates must just not be high enough for the Dems in California.
They can't outwhine New York without the body count.

Looks like Nancy's nephew Gavin is installing a death panel of his own.

I haven't found any tie between Newsom and any Nancy. Perhaps you have someone else in mind?

This move is moronic. AFAIK, SNFs - and I have visited several - have no provision for isolating a patient. Quite the opposite, as swift staff access to a patient is important. One mistake could wipe out most of the patients in a SNF.
