[Federalist via Bongino] New York’s nursing homes — were compelled by a state regulation to take in recovering coronavirus victims, many of whom were likely still contagious.

The implication of this rule — which was apparently strictly enforced and similar to the order issued by California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom’s administration — was that facilities filled with exactly the most vulnerable population had no choice but to admit carriers of the contagion. The results of this blunder were as brutal as they were predictable. As of last week, New York’s Health Department estimated the number of nursing home patients who had died of COVID-19 to be 3,500, a total representing more than 20 percent of all the state’s fatalities.
Government is a name for the things we do together

#2 I really do not dig Ivanka and Jared's involvement in the Trump administration. That said, it's out in the open, unlike Hugh Rodham's antics. If Mr. Cum-oh ever runs for prexident, watch CNN contort to explain how Fredo can be allowed to remain on the air.

#4 #3 How many times you read here in 'burg staff along the lines "we must not destroy the future of millions of young people to preserve a few months of life for the a few old"?

#5 De Blasio is criminally incompetent. He'll be in the dock before long.

#7 No, IIUC, based on what the nursing home operator is saying it seems an open and shut case: this goof sent people who were infectious back into the nursing homes.

#11 Be aware that the "If it saves just one life" crowd is automatically silent when an innocent person is killed in a no knock drug raid at the wrong address, so stick the "trade old lives for young" straw man in the furnace.

#12 While a hospital ship with lots of beds floated nearby empty. While most of those elderly probably had family somewhere in the area and could have been encouraged to take them in.

So avoidable. They knew that either the tests were bad or that the virus returned. Either way you don't put the sick back among the most vulnerable populations.

#13 The political presumption is that every additional person who catches this might not only die but also might infect multiple others who also might second verse same as the first. It's not. Even bubonic plague didn't do that. We're not being told that.

#14 Well, the WHO said it wasn't contagious, didn't they? So let's see how the MSM picks and chooses what parts of the WHO narrative fits theirs. And Facebook/Google censorship, too.

#15 I am convinced that if it weren't for this that Fredo Sr. would be the nominee.

(You don't have to burn your brain out trying to figure out which one is Fredo if you figure out they're both Fredo).

(In the future everyone will be Fredo for 15 minutes).

#17 Why would a man who has no problem killing premmies have any reservation on killing those on the other end of their time line? Besides, they'll still vote Democrat.

#21 #'s 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 11. It is called murder, and conspiracy to commit. Will anyone have the guts to prosecute?
