Do you really need a CDC official document to be able to figure out that putting infected people in with the oldest, sickest and most vulnerable people is problematic? The CDC is not the only source of common sense.

Don’t get me wrong, I have a lot of issues with nursing homes in general as well.
But again, for a lot of these folks, its the only home they have.
Why couldn’t they stay in the hospital? It’s where they got better.
Should they have to?
Who foots the bill?
Common sense has nothing to do with this.
Yes, yes it does. Common sense would tell most people not to infect the weakest.
It’s the safest place.
The government of course. Does a bed in a hospital really cost more than a bed in a nursing home?

Protect the hospitals.
I have a clear point.
Now, remove "to stay "
And you will understand your stance in the above post isn’t so far off of what conservatives believe in.
If you have a new virus, yes. Do not intermix them in with the other wards of hospitals.
Is the government paying the nursing home bill?
I know that when my great-grandmother was put into a home, the bills came to my mom, not the government.
There isn’t any, they died.
It sounds like you are saying the government did everything it could?
Except, apparently, when it comes to senior citizens who’ve survived COVID.
No, I don’t believe what I’m saying “sounds” like anything of the sort.
I’m saying- as much as you guys like this as political ammo against Cuomo, it’s a lot more complicated.
Ahh, I should have stayed with ponder it.
Perhaps you should ponder it.
Why is their freedom unimportant?
Then, you’d be against mandatory masks, etc. correct?
Same logic.
No, it’s not the same logic.
No matter how histrionic people get about masks, it’s not comparable to forced imprisonment.
I have a suspicion that had Cuomo ordered that all nursing home residents be forcibly quarantined after recovering from COVID, you guys would be just as upset than you are now, if not more so.
The CDC guidance at the time was that nursing homes should only accept patients, including re-admissions, that they could take care of. That’s it, clear as mud. I was the only one in this entire thread that bothered to even look it up.
