Except that at one point nearly half of the deaths in the state were in nursing homes.
yes, at one point, in march of 2020, at the very beginning of the outbreak

this particular data point is not actually indicative of anything meaningful...it's a statistical gotcha
that does not stand up to even the slightest bit of honest scrutiny

it looks like jersey had systemic issues that exacerbated the situation...high patient density
and a track record for failing to contain infections.


it also appears that they got better at things and death rates at long term care facilities are down

they did not continue to transfer patients back out to long term care facilities when it became clear
that bed capacity was not impacted

like I said...the hulabaloo seems extremely contrived when you look at the facts in context
CJ expected Murphy to go back in time 10-20 years and fix all the systemic problems that existed in the nursing home healthcare system.


BTW, is NJ’s nursing home system run by private corporations or are they run by the state?

Almost 8,000 deaths thanks to Murphy and his supporters.

you just provided a data point that refutes your previous data point

this one is the same empty statistical gotcha, but with graphics

no one believes you really care about this beyond scoring partisanship points

I don't think you'll stop harping on it, but them's the breaks

nursing homes deaths represent about 1/3 of NJ deaths, still a huge number. Still worth a state investigation, which is happening (I think).

So are these facilities primarily private or state-run?

Should we also star blaming hospitals for all the people who died during the pandemic?

How do you reconcile this position of yours with your "it's a hoax" position from this time last year?

How do you reconcile this with Trump's admission that he intentionally downplayed the virus because he didn't want to cause panic?

In retrospect, it's easy to see where mistakes were made. You should look around more though - because there are plenty of other states/people who fucked it up too.

Also, Trump just said today that he listened to everything Fauci told him and then decided not to do it. "It," of course, being crack down harder, faster and longer.

I've never denied the toll of this virus on the elderly and those with co-morbidities. The virus was never worth the panic it caused in the general population. The left exploited the situation for political gain. Its no more complex than that.

I'd suggest we go back 12 months and bet, but....

Still, simple question - if Trump knew how dangerous the virus was, why didn't he alert everyone? Maybe NJ would have made different choices if he had.

Yep, he is on the record lying about the virus and mocking social distancing and mask use, of course his brainwashed followers will never hold him responsible.

MANY states also sent elderly back to hospital beds in assisted living homes

in a given age group, some states had higher death rates in assisted-living and some
states had lower death-rates

some of this has to do with the standard of care one enjoys in assisted living
establishments on a state by state basis...some of this also has to do with the
timing of when the spikes hit a region relative to the learning curve we collectively
traveled...some of this has to do with sheer fkn randomness

never ascribe to malice that which can be explained by incompetence

Again I ask the question, what is to be done with people with Covid but not sick enough to be hospitalized when the beds are needed for sicker patients? Was not team moron ready to sacrifice the old for economy anyway? Completely dishonest crocodile Tears from the Trumptards trying to deflect from cult leaders complete failure.

Chet is 100% in support of opening up 100%. People with co-morbidties can drop dead.

He only cares about people in nursing homes. He will keep harping on that one point for some reason.

Nice try dumbass. There is no logical or scientific reason to continue the government restrictions at this stage. Why do you hate science? Those who have co-morbidities and those around them should certainly know what steps they need to take to protect themselves. There is no longer any reason to harm society as a whole in the name of this stupid virus.

Yes, the media scared us by fabricating the 550,000 dead people.

The media is controlling us, that’s why there’s one of the largest, if not THE largest, vaccination programs in history taking place right now.

Please don’t get a vaccine. Breathe that corona in deep.
