Gov. Cuomo's largest issue has been the policy of sending patients who were positive for the coronavirus into nursing homes, alongside the most vulnerable segment of our population.
Now, Gov. Whitmer has been contending with the reality that, like Gov. Cuomo, she is looked at as responsible for placing infected elderly patients into nursing homes.
It has been estimated that 40% of the deaths in that state derived from nursing homes.
More alarming is the number in Minnesota, where over 80% of the deaths are nursing home related.
In his state two-thirds of all COVID fatalities are from nursing homes, all while a scandal has percolated.
One medical official, Health Secretary Dr. Rachel Levine, who is charged with overseeing nursing homes, saw fit to have her mother moved out of one facility to a private hotel as deaths in these facilities were spiking.
While the news scribblers were wringing their hands about beaches, Gov. DeSantis was putting in place a program to tamp down nursing home deaths.
