Bring on the questions – because the answers are going to flay Cuomo and deBlasio alive.
IF the derelict media can bring themselves to do some journalism instead of propaganda for a change.

” I think there’s going to be a lot of questions about whether they put their residents first or whether they put profit first”
With no profit they close. I suspect that if the government was running the nursing homes they would be run a lot like they run the VA hospitals.

These are great policy conundrums:
Should government try to minimize deaths per capita? or
Should government try to maximize QALY’s, quality adjusted life-years, for all its constituents?
Does government have any responsibility for future people? Eg should we spend capital now to design vaccine development institutions and manufacturing plants for people living 10 years from now?…knowing that this has an opportunity cost now? and knowing that we never predict the future very well?
Are QALYs delivered to young adults more important than adding quality years to an 80 year old? …from a population health view?
The NHS in the UK used to say that it was worth it to spend about L40,000 for one QALY. What should we shoot for?

This is not exactly of the ‘no good deed goes unpunished’ category, but it is a reminder of the vulnerability of the aged, as well as a testament to those who have spent their lives in voluntary service.

A profile of the individuals is available on the site. If there is a reward for the meekestt and most humble, the first profiled in that series (not directly linked here) certainly qualifies for it.

As a resident at the Livonia campus, she assisted with laundry and at its hobby shop and packed bread for the poor. Despite advancing M.S. and a wheelchair, Sister Luiza remained self-sufficient for years and said the Stations of the Cross daily in chapel. She was faithful in sending feast day and birthday cards to the Sisters in the infirmary.

edward – beat me to it, but here’s a link.

A pilot friend of ours was stuck in NYC for 2 weeks, finally got home Saturday.
At the airport, he encountered a group of those exhausted volunteers returning home.
If anyone else was planning to go help Gotham, they should definitely reconsider.

Weeks ago, when I heard NY was forcing nursing homes to take active virus cases back, my first thought was the horror of that and then I thought that they are deliberately running the death toll up. Everybody was told to social distance so the vulnerable did not get the disease, and then they deliberately sent infected patients back to homes with the most vulnerable.

Elections have consequences. In NYS the consequences are deadly.

This is how New York is going to cut its health care costs and retirement benefits costs. Cuomo has decided to kill all those in the nursing homes.

Meanwhile, he is taxing those who responded to the call for volunteer medical help. Their paychecks, paid by their home states, are subject to NY income tax if they worked for 14 days in the state. Cool, eh? No good deed goes unpunished.

Just don’t ask for help in your next emergency.

A nursing home, where the “capitalists” are forced by the State to admit diseased people, is not “capitalism”, but rather, a socialist fist wrapped in a “capitalist” glove.
