B-Man Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 MASSACHUSETTS: “Of the 5,141 virus deaths in Massachusetts, 3,095 have occurred in the state’s nursing homes — more than 60%, double the percentage even in New York.” Yet Gov. Charlie Baker, the scold and scourge of all golf carts, gun shops, nail salons and churches, none of which have recorded any fatalities, seems strangely oblivious to the ever-escalating toll in the state’s “long-term care facilities,” which are both heavily regulated and subsidized by the commonwealth. Ditto, the Legislature, where no one seems to be demanding hearings into the nursing-home death tolls, which dwarf those of neighboring states. Of the 5,108 deaths, only 246 were of people under the age of 60. Yet they remain locked up, more than a million have lost their jobs, and yet they are daily lectured and threatened by politicians who say next to nothing about the nursing homes where residents are actually at risk. The nursing homes seem to have a lot of very powerful friends at the State House, perhaps because of the hundreds of thousands of dollars their executives funnel into the pockets of those keeping the rest of the state, where few are dying, in lockdown.

Caution to all PPPers. If Chef Jim "invites you over for dinner" use caution. Extreme caution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less than PA. We are at 69% of all our deaths are in nursing homes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALF Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 McConnell admits he was wrong to say Obama administration failed to leave a pandemic playbook Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell conceded Thursday night that he was wrong to claim that the Obama administration had not left behind a plan to deal with a pandemic in the US. "I was wrong. They did leave behind a plan, so I clearly made a mistake in that regard," McConnell said during an interview with Fox News' Bret Baier. The concession comes days after he falsely accused the Obama administration of failing to leave the Trump administration "any kind of game plan" for something like the coronavirus pandemic during a Trump campaign online chat with Lara Trump, the President's daughter-in-law. https://www.cnn.com/2020/05/14/politics/mitch-mcconnell-obama-coronavirus-pandemic/index.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALF Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 GENERAL MOTORS GM had planned to begin its restart at assembly plants on May 18, and the order allowing manufacturing to resume in Michigan paved the way for that date to be solidified. GM had production resume at three of its factories on May 11 and will have others restart through May 26 https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a32437841/us-automakers-returning-to-production/ Key GM plants in Erie and Niagara county Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
