On Cuomo and Nursing Homes
-
It seems to me the reason they sent nursing home residents back to their facilities is as obvious as it is unspeakable.
That was when they were still expecting hospitals to soon be overwhelmed- meaning completely so - and there were open discussions taking place in the press and in medical ethicist circles about how they would triage that.
Am I the only one who thought this the very second the controversy started? I mean last spring, not the current phase.

Of course
I assume that somewhere in DC there is a list
Every person in the country has a number, give or take
I wouldn’t say a list, more an algorithm to create the list...

I agree but there was the ship that was an interesting variable.

@loki Right but the policy predates the FEMA hospitals and the navy ship.
Could very well be that the reversal of the policy came way too late but I’ll bet the damage was heavily front loaded.
You are getting a sense of our allocation of resources now to nursing homes. Care at end stage. You know we could add it to the list, free college, free healthcare, UBI, massive upgrade of end stage care. We will see who has the appetite to look real close there.
