ProPublica: Gov. Cuomo’s Order On Nursing Homes Created A Disaster

This week, ProPublica published a story looking at the results of the decision. Not only did New York require nursing homes take patients back from hospitals it also specified that the homes were not allowed to test those returning to see if they still had the virus.
...
Much of the story focuses on one nursing home called Diamond Hill where 18 people would eventually die from the virus, most after accepting COVID patients from hospitals. According to one nurse who complained about the situation, workers had little or no protective gear and were asked to come in and work even when they were supposed to be under quarantine. After several complaints about how things were being run, she was fired and told she was “anti-management.”

County executive Steve McLaughlin was in charge of a county-run nursing home in the same area as Diamond Hill. He refused to obey the state’s order and didn’t admit any COVID patients to his facility. That county-run facility didn’t have a single death from the virus. McLaughlin said the deaths at Diamond Hill were, “uncalled for, unnecessary, should never have occurred, and wouldn’t have but for a tragically misguided order from the state.”

Yet another media report, and still Cuomo is free of tar, feathers, and rail splinters.

The stinkin thinkin is still in play!  COVID "contact tracers" are not allowed to ask people with COVID if they attended a BLM riot.  The same dumbass idea is at work in both situations, that people get "stigmatized."

They haven't learnt a GD thing.
