The Breitbart News revealed Monday that the governors of Michigan, California, New Jersey and Pennsylvania have all approved nursing Home policies similar to Cuomo’s, using nursing homes as a second battleground for admitting patients with the Chinese Communist virus amid the outbreak because of concerns that too many patients would overwhelm hospitals.
Michigan’s Democratic governor, Gretchen Whitmer, had issued an order that long-term care facilities, or nursing homes, “may not prohibit residents from being admitted or readmitted under the pretext of testing requirements or results for the CCP virus.” The policy was rescinded in July 2020 and was extended three times before it was rescinded.
California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) ordered on April 10, 2020, that “patients living in a hospital, or receiving treatment in an alternative care setting, who have clinical indications of the CCP virus may be discharged and moved to a skilled nursing facility, also known as a nursing home.”
New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy approved a directive from the state health commissioner stating that no patient can be denied admission to a nursing home or readmission to a nursing home “solely on the basis of a confirmed diagnosis of the CCP virus. As long as a physician determines that a patient is “medically stable,” a nursing home cannot require a patient’s coronavirus test as a prerequisite for admission to a nursing home.
Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf, who enacted a mandatory nursing home admission policy last March, said, “Nursing facilities, or nursing homes, must continue to accept not only new residents who move in, but also patients who have moved out of nursing homes but are stable.”
Biden nominated Rachel Levine, a transgender Pennsylvania health official who worked under Wolf, to be assistant secretary of the federal Department of Health on Jan. 19, 2021. During her tenure as Pennsylvania’s health secretary, Levine drew criticism and accusations for allowing “stable” patients with the CCP virus to return to nursing homes. When the virus quickly spread through nursing homes, Levin took his mother out of the home and put her in a hotel suite.
As of March 1, 2021, New York Governor Cuomo’s office faces allegations of manipulating data on nursing home resident deaths, which spiked after CCP virus patients were allowed to move into nursing homes by the Cuomo administration, yet the deaths were excluded from the tally by Cuomo. Phone calls between Cuomo’s top aides and New York State Democrats confirm that the Cuomo administration withheld the death toll to protect its reputation.
The current situation is that Governor Cuomo is facing an investigation into the cover-up of the CCP virus death toll, multiple former employees of the governor have recently accused him of sexual harassment, and members of the New York State Republican Party as well as many Democrats are calling for Cuomo’s ouster.
