We may get to the point where LTC deaths make up the majority of COVID deaths in New Jersey. It’s extremely close. Great job Governor Murphy! If you’d protected nursing homes you’d be looking at possibly half as many deaths. Instead, you intentionally spread the virus to the most vulnerable population while locking down everyone else.
I haven’t been keeping up with this on a daily basis the last couple weeks. But as they try to figure out a way to keep the death counts up, my guess is a lot of it is old LTC deaths from months ago that they’re flipping to COVID based on symptoms. May be true, may not be true, but we know Murphy killed a lot of seniors by spreading this virus throughout nursing homes. LTC facilities now account for basically half the deaths.
The governor of NY is criticizing the Florida governor for reopening his state:
“I say to them all, look at the numbers. You played politics with this virus and you lost.”
This from a guy who forced nursing homes to accept COVID positive patients which likely doubled the total deaths in his state. Meanwhile, Florida protected their nursing homes and had a fraction of the deaths. This nonsense he’s blabbing about has to do with cases, but we already know there are millions of cases of people who had mild or no symptoms. Who cares? You test more you get more cases. Deaths are what matter and Cuomo failed his state miserably. The fact that he would criticize other states is disgusting. He would resign in shame immediately if he wasn’t an evil sociopath.
Murphy’s reign of terror through his state’s nursing homes continues. 38 more LTC deaths confirmed vs only 31 total since yesterday. I can’t believe this bastard is getting away with this and still pretends like his draconian rules are saving people.
Asbury Park caved to the tyrannical governor of New Jersey after some tyrannical state judge backed him up on his decision to not allow indoor dining. They might lose their state liquor license. Of course, it makes no sense. Murphy has allowed other businesses to operate with a limit of 50 people or 25% capacity, whichever is lower. But restaurants are not allowed to do the same because viruses travel faster inside restaurants than they do gift shops or something.
What I’d love to see is some town or county just issue their own liquor licenses or something and see if Murphy would send in the State Cops to shut down local restaurants. Let’s see how far this hypocritical tyrant will take things!
Total deaths on the NJ dashboard increased by 100. LTC confirmed deaths increased by 114. We’re at 47% of lab-confirmed COVID deaths being LTC residents. We’ve been over 50% if you use “reported” LTC deaths for awhile now.
Just a reminder that Murphy’s policy was for nursing homes to admit COVID positive patients. Similar policies were in place for most states with high COVID death totals.
Lockdowns did not save lives. They probably caused many deaths by serving as a distraction to the only appropriate policy which would have been to protect the sick and elderly. They’re the only ones dying of this virus. Instead, our rulers deliberately infected them due to a misguided fear that hospitals would be overrun.
Deaths up 72 today. LTC deaths up 69. Phase 2 supposedly starts going into effect on 6/15. That means outdoor dining, “some” hair salons, gyms, retail if you let the business take your temperature. Pathetic. Meanwhile, the rioters in Trenton aren’t social distancing, but Murphy still wants to boss around the peaceful people out in the burbs. After all, they’re not his voters so may as well fuck them over some more.
Since NJ changed their dashboards on May 20 to show confirmed LTC tests rather than just reported, the total number of confirmed deaths has risen by 251. The total confirmed LTC deaths have risen by 460. This whole thing seems to be a nursing home issue at this point and yet the state remains locked down with no specific end date even being discussed. Phil Murphy has got to be the worst governor in the USA. And considering how terrible most of them are, that is really saying something.
Confirmed deaths of LTC residents are climbing faster than total confirmed deaths somehow. Over the past 2 days the total deaths on the NJ Dept. of Health dashboard have risen by 238 while total confirmed LTC deaths have risen by 316. We should start calling Supreme Leader Murphy the New Jersey Grandma Killer.
