Gretchen Whitmer Blocks GOP Bill That Would Have Kept Coronavirus Patients Out Of Nursing Homes
Via Daily Wire:

Michigan Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer vetoed a Republican bill on Friday that would have kept coronavirus patients out of nursing homes and placed them in entirely separate facilities — an effort aimed at protecting those most vulnerable to developing serious complications from the coronavirus, which originated in China.

"The bill was a direct challenge to the Whitmer administration’s current handling of nursing homes during the COVID-19 pandemic, which has focused on caring for those with the virus in isolated spaces of existing homes," The Detroit News reported. "About 33% of the state's deaths linked to the virus have been nursing home residents or employees, according to state data."

Sen. Peter Lucido (R-Shelby Township) blasted Whitmer's decision to not take more action to protect vulnerable seniors in nursing homes, which "account for more than 41 percent of the country's pandemic fatalities," according to The New York Times.
Witchmor is insane, evil, take your pick. Regardless it's clearly 1st degree murder (hello Barrless...)
Of course she did, just like Cuomo nand MN Walzy

#2 This decision is beyond stupid, which makes me wonder what was *really* driving her decision to veto the bill. In any case, truly sick people in power.

#3 If you read the bill carefully, I'm sure, you'll find that the funds for such separate facilities were intended to be drawn (at least in part) from one of the governor's pet projects.
