Does Gretchen Whitmer Have Her Cuomo Moment? Report Has Michigan Governor Placing COVID-Positive Patients in Nursing Homes
RedState ^ | May 19, 2020 | Brad Slager

Could this possibly have happened in TWO different states?!

One of the biggest debacles to come out of the New York area surround the management of the coronavirus reaction has been the news that Governor Andrew Cuomo had been placing patients who were tested positive for the virus inside nursing homes with healthy residents. With all the government shutdowns and the calls in the media to maintain separation hearing about this confined cohabitation between the infected and the healthy was galling. Now we are hearing of the possibility this scenario has been playing out in Michigan as well, involving policy from Governor Gretchen Whitmer.

A report from Detroit’s Local News 4 finds that a statewide policy of dealing with coronavirus victims may have led to the same dangerous being implemented. The state legislature has been in a perpetual battle with Gov. Whitmer over her statewide executive orders. Now a state senate coronavirus oversight committee has been looking into the practice of placing patients who are positive with COVID-19 into nursing homes, paying the facilities $5 000 for each patient they have taken in.

An initial plan had been established where Detropit’s TCF Convention Center would be used as a staging location for the infected patients. That plan was abandoned, instead opting to go with a system of regional ”hubs”. It was inside of these hubs that nursing homes were selected to take in patients. Local 4 found out that at least half of the nursing homes had not been inspected since this policy was put in place.

This ridiculous practice defies common sense on multiple levels. Start with the simple fact that you are mixing together the infected and healthy in the same enclosed locations, in a time when distancing has been the drilled-in mantra across the country. Now factor in that you are doing so with the most vulnerable segment of the population. The overwhelming majority of deaths from coronavirus have involved the elderly and those with preexisting conditions — the very residents you find in nursing homes.

Lastly, you have the government flouting its own dictates that it is imposing upon the population. Michigan has become one of the states where residents have been growing impatient with Gov. Whitmer’s expanded shutdown requirements. The politicians have defied the very orders they are imposing on the citizens; it is violating quarantine conditions with the at-risk population while those least affected are mandated to remain away from their businesses and communities.

Andrew Cuomo’s luster has become heavily tarnished of late. The once hoped-for savior for the Democrat party, as he was inflated to near hero status by the media, has seen that staus plummet in the light of harsh statistics. New York state remains a hotbed of the viral outbreak and the news of his practice of mixing the infected in with the healthy at nursing homes became an alarming reality he could not rise above. Now Governor Gretchen Whitmer, who has blatantly been campaigning to be selected as Joe Biden’s running mate, is facing the same type of political fate, and possibly over the exact same act of incompetence.

That these two names had been elevated by the media while their actions were undergoing the barest of critical analysis tells us so much of what we have seen in the news cycles. Despite numerous evident flaws from both it took some exceptional incompetence on their part to eclipse the PR push both had been receiving. Sad to say it required some seriously fatal errors to have them exposed as the sub-par leaders we are now noticing.

Who is still surprised that our domestic enemies need big casualty numbers?

Not one has been held accountable for any crimes against America for more than ten years.

They are emboldened.

Whitmer, the same governor who forbid the sale of paint at Home Deport as "unnecessary", offered a bounty to drop infected Covid-19 patients in nursing homes. Figures. She massively screws up, kills people thru insane policy, then covers by implementing even more insane policies.

All the RATs are “in this together”. They needed a big old death count and decided old folks are expendable.

These people are sick and should be, but won’t be, prosecuted. What they did was set people up to die.

Just horrific.

Yep, kill ‘em and blame Trump, that’s the Rats’ strategy in a nutshell.

This is deliberate murder. Democrats want to blame mass casualties on President Bush. Share this article at every forum you know.

I have direct knowledge she did exactly what Cuomo did. They forced the Nursing Home where me mother in law is to take them. A week later my she got the virus but will recover. None of the media outlets here have reported it. Entire hospital wings empty but Half Whit forced them into nursing homes. I think the rats wanted as many deaths as possible.

Banned car baby seats in Walmart’s as non-essential then blamed it on Walmarts when it was reported.

All this time I thought Whitmer was really Cuomo in Drag, does this mean they are actually different persons, because they look an awful lot alike to me???

This is an extension of abortion. The Dems are now in the euthanasia business. This is all about getting rid of the seniors and replace the with young dem voters.

It did, indeed. In addition, the dickless freak who runs our “health” department took its own mother out of a nursing home at the same time.

And it still has a job.

Sure looks like Democrat governors are murdering old people in nursing homes with the Chinese Cooties on purpose.

Perhaps they should be arrested and charged with murder at this point.

These governors who put sick people into convalescent homes should be ridiculed and punished no matter which party they belong to. They sent them there to die and to kill as many old people as possible. There is no other excuse for such a policy. Nobody is that stupid not even Cuomo or Half-Witmer. This was the cold, calculated killing of the elderly populations in those states.

What’s really sick is Whitmer is in the running for Biden’s VP. If selected, she has at least 47 percent chance of being on the winning ticket. As we all know, if the Dems win the White House in November, Biden’s VP will soon be the president. Really scary stuff. Its not hype to say we are in an existential battle for our freedom.

This problem is only in some states, but only where Democrats have the power to set policies.
Since it is in multiple states, the FBI needs to investigate this issue. Where did the direction for these leaders originate.
The person or persons involved need to be charged with manslaughter.

I believe these governors committed/ordered murder of each prior uninfected patient.

They deserve capital punishment.

It’s amazing how Whitmer, Wolf and Cuomo do this evil and still retain high support. They’re directly responsible for the deaths of thousands of seniors, but they get a pass.

Now with the flooding issue are the people allowed to evacuate with motorized boats or only canoes and kyaks?
