Nursing home patients infected with COVID19 are dropping like flies in the state of Michigan. Much like the millions of babies whose lives are snuffed out at Planned Parenthood, Democrat Governor Whitmer doesn’t appear to overly concerned, as there are no current plans to change the way patients infected with COVID19 are being dropped off at nursing home facilities, where the state is paying approved facilities $5,000 per COVID positive patient.
The state of Michigan does not know how many elderly people in its nursing homes have died from Covid-19.
More shocking, bureaucrats have no idea how many elderly people have died whose care has been entrusted to the state.
More shocking still, there are no plans to stop introducing COVID-infected people into the nursing homes, as New York did this week.
Now, Deadline Detroit has received confidential data from a firm hired by the state to make wellness checks on indigent elderly people who are wards of the state.
The data runs from March 10 — the day of Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s state of emergency declaration — to May 9. It paints a disturbing picture of neglect, where the sick and infected are carted around from one nursing home to another, sometimes to a hospital and back to the nursing home, where they eventually died.
The sources of the data have asked for anonymity for themselves and their clients, citing privacy laws and fear of retaliation.
The data covers about 950 people, which represents a small sampling of the elderly folks under state care. Of that number, 110 people have died – about 11 percent. At least 250 people were moved at least once, according to the data. Among them, 89 were moved at least twice; 59 were relocated three times.
The most vulnerable among us are being hauled around like laundry bags in the midst of a pandemic.
Such was the case of an octogenarian named C., who in the span of four weeks made two trips to the hospital and two trips back to his Detroit nursing home. He died last week at the nursing home. The cause of death Covid-19, according to the Wayne County Medical Examiner.
Watch this video showing Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer’s stunning negligence and how she’s putting nursing home patients in grave danger. Democrat State Rep. Lisa Love is frustrated by this horrible policy to put nursing home patients lives at risk:
Last month, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo was slammed for making the same decision as Whitmer to allow COVID19 patients and workers who tested positive for the deadly disease, into nursing homes, where infected patients were dropping like flies. After being heavily criticized for his horrible policy, Cuomo reversed course this week, declaring that the elderly may no longer be moved from the hospital back into the nursing homes until they test negative.
Gov. Whitmer is not expected to make similar changes.
“I have not heard of any plans to increase (quarantine) guidelines,” said Sutfin, the health department spokeswoman. “We are doing additional testing, however.”
