'Patients Will Die': NJ Governor Was Warned Nursing Home Order Would Kill People. He Ignored It.

Yes, New York's Andrew Cuomo isn't the only person facing a scandal concerning COVID deaths in nursing homes.

The worst part is Murphy was warned by state health officials that his grim reaper policy of forcing nursing homes to accept COVID-positive patients would kill people.

Democratic New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy's office was warned that ordering nursing homes to readmit residents recovering from COVID-19 would lead to unnecessary deaths, a new report reveals.

New Jersey Health Commissioner Judith Persichilli informed hundreds long term care providers on a March 31 conference call that they would soon be expected to readmit COVID-positive nursing home residents, according to the report by New Jersey Advance Media.

"You understand that by asking us to take COVID patients, by demanding we take COVID patients, that patients will die in nursing homes that wouldn't have otherwise died had we screened them out."

Why? Michigan is the same way, with Gov. Gretchen Whitmer reportedly treating COVID-positive nursing home patients like "Bags of laundry." A reporter is suing the state to get the figures on the COVID death toll in these facilities after the state health department refused to turn over the records.

In Michigan, New York, and New Jersey - all three governors face COVID nursing home death scandals because it appears they knew the science behind their actions but simply didn't care.
