This one made my jaw land square on the floor like in the cartoons.
New York’s nursing homes weren’t allowed to challenge a controversial order to admit patients with the coronavirus, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Thursday — even though it’s been blamed for spreading the deadly disease among residents.
“They don’t have a right to object. That is the rule and that is the regulation and they have to comply with that,” Cuomo said during his daily briefing in Albany.
“And the regulation is common sense: if you can’t provide adequate care, you can’t have the patient in your facility and that’s your basic fiduciary obligation — I would say, ethical obligation — and it’s also your legal obligation.”
Nursing homes have ‘no right’ to reject coronavirus patients, Cuomo says
This is government-mandated death by infection. Nursing Homes are not designed to be biocontainment laboratories with sophisticated intake of patients with deadly pathogens but plain care facilities and long term living. Forcing them to accept people that are infected is insane and a risk to the healthy population inside the nursing home is enormous!.
First, Do no harm. But Cuomo ain’t a doctor.
This is madness by the Governor is up there with the Tuskegee Study where African Americans were injected with Syphilis without their consent or knowledge.
Hat Tip Jim B.
But he has a D after his name, so he’ll never need to worry.
BTW — the Tuskegee Study? Thank the Progressives the modern left admires for that.
Talk about throwing grandma under the bus!
You can’t spell socialism without democide.
[…] seems the story about the Nursing Home in NY I posted about yesterday continues to get more […]
I remember reading somewhere or hearing from someone ages ago that in many states nursing homes are designated as/like hospitals so if you show up demanding treatment they can’t refuse it. No idea if this is true and if it is obviously it shouldn’t be the case since that not what a nursing home is designed to be.
