Nursing Home ‘Patients Will Die’: Staff Warned NJ Commissioner About COVID-19 Order

PJMedia:

Last March, as Gov. Phil Murphy (D-N.J.) ordered nursing homes to admit patients recovering from COVID-19, nursing home administrators warned New Jersey Health Commissioner Judith Persichilli that the new policy amounted to a death sentence for elderly residents.

“Patients will die,” an unidentified administrator declared, according to a recording of the March 21, 2020 meeting first reported by NJ 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.”

About 8,000 COVID-19 deaths — roughly 40 percent of New Jersey’s 21,000 COVID-19 deaths — trace back to nursing homes and other long-term care facilities. On March 31, Murphy’s administration directed nursing homes to re-admit residents who had been discharged from hospitals while recovering from COVID-19.

While Persichilli’s guidance also directed nursing homes to house these residents in a separate wing, in order to avoid infecting other patients, many nursing home administrators warned that such separation would be incomplete and would fail to prevent the spread of the virus. MORE

  1. It was deliberate, organized and cordinated. Just ask that freak Levine who can’t figure out if itz Mr or Mrs Potatohead! It removed it’s mother from a nursing home because it KNEW what was going down! Wolf, Murphy, Whitmer, Newsome and Coumo should be prosecuted Nuremberg style.

  2. Murphy and Whitmer are two reasons that Cuomo won’t be taken down for killing 15,000 NY elderly. These two, along with the WH, which called Cuomo “the gold standard of leadership,” and CNN and other MSM which carried the hero Cuomo on their shoulders, would all be collateral damage. Cuomo has to be politically neutered to keep him from primarying the vapid loser Harris, and the sex scandals with young attractive women is political death with no collateral damage. As a kid watching Looney Toons, I “got it” that Pepe LePew was a caricature of a French ladies man, God’s gift to womanhood. In his mind he was irresistibly sexy, when, in fact, he was a stinking puke of a skunk who repelled everyone. Pepe was the spot on parody of Cuomo.

  3. Joseph Biden won’t be screening people invading across our southern border for covid-19 either. People will die and nothing will happen to Biden either because of the D behind his name.
