“Yesterday, the Minnesota Department of Health announced that 17 more people had died of Covid-19. Once again, a high proportion, 13 of them, had died in long-term care or assisted living facilities. Of Minnesota’s 748 Covid-19 deaths so far, 608 – 81% – have occurred in long-term care or assisted living facilities.”

“Despite the devastating death toll, Minnesota nursing homes are still being allowed by state regulators to admit coronavirus patients who have been discharged from hospitals.”

We wondered when this would finally come out. Minnesota has the highest rate of deaths in nursing homes, in the nation.

“Officials in New York state admit that they tried to quietly change their coronavirus death count standards in such a way that would underreport those deaths at nursing homes.”

At an April 23 press conference, Gov. Andrew Cuomo sounded indignant when a reporter asked if anyone had objected to New York’s policy of forcing nursing homes to admit recently discharged COVID-19 patients.

“They don’t have the right to object,” Cuomo answered before the reporter finished his question. “That is the rule, and that is the regulation, and they have to comply with it.”

"To make sense of the carnage at New York nursing homes, you don’t need to sprout wings and survey the scene from 30,000 feet. Just keep your BS detector on and connect a few big dots."

"113 of Minnesota’s 143 COVID-19 related deaths have occurred in nursing homes or other care facilities for the elderly as of Tuesday, according to MPR. 130 of Minnesota’s 375 (34%) care facilities have reported cases of the virus, reports the Star Tribune. The state has counted 2,567 total COVID-19 cases, half of which have recovered to the point of no longer requiring isolation."
