A Pattern ?


In New York, Gov. Andrew Cuomo is facing intense criticism and calls to resign for cooking the books in the states COVID nursing home death toll.

One governor is obviously not a pattern.

However, we could have another COVID nursing home death scandal brewing.

From Townhall:

There could be a COVID death toll scandal occurring in Michigan. Reporter Charlie LeDuff wanted to know the number of COVID deaths from nursing homes, but the state refused to release the data. So, the Mackinac Center Legal Foundation decided to file a lawsuit to unseal those records.

Investigative journalist Charlie LeDuff sounded off on 3/11, following his filing of a lawsuit against Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, telling “The Story” that the state still refuses to provide relevant data on coronavirus-related nursing home deaths.

LeDuff told host Martha MacCallum that while embattled New York Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo stopped co-mingling coronavirus-positive patients in Empire State nursing homes after some time, the Great Lakes State is allegedly “still doing it.

Republicans in the state legislature have threatened to subpoena records from the state’s department of health. Maybe they should follow through on that. 

Two governors could be a duet, but not a pattern.

Could there be a third governor with a scandal brewing?

Can Washington State Gov. Jay Inslee now be added to this  list?

The background is that Life Care Center in Kirkland, Washington saw a massive coronavirus outbreak. The Life Care outbreak was dubbed America’s “epicenter” for the Wuhan coronavirus, which officially began on Feb. 19, 2020.

The Life Care Center had two outbreaks, with a total of 156 confirmed COVID cases in its facility, with 101 being residents and the other 55 being staff members, KING-TV reported. The nursing home facility amassed “46 deaths between residents, staff, and visitors.” 

On March 24, 2020,  a little more than a month after the Life Care outbreak, the Department of Health issued guidelines for how nursing home patients should be accepted into nursing homes.

Inslee and his team at DOH saw the outbreak at Life Care and still asked nursing homes to take in COVID-positive patients. The Seattle Times says these decisions contributed to roughly half of the state’s 5,000 coronavirus-related deaths to the nursing home policy because “nearly 200 nursing homes” had “at least one outbreak.” Some had multiple outbreaks. Very few long-term care facilities in the state have gone without any COVID infections. But in King County, where Seattle is located, “455 people connected to nursing homes have died, account for a third of the county’s total deaths.” 

Of interest to me is that these three governors (Cuomo, Whitmer, and Inslee) have one big thing in common. Is there a pattern here? Indeed I am seeing a recognizable pattern.

Q: Do you know what that pattern is? 

      HINT – it begins with the letter, ‘D.’ . . . Think hard!

A: Could it be that all three are Dumb?
