whoever wrote that "fact" sheet has gotta be dizzy as ****!

Was that as crazy as having 5 Democrat governors in some of the most populous states forcing Covid-infected people into nursing homes where they infected and killed tens of thousands needlessly?

You've sure got a warped and purely evil perspective if you don't think every one of the 5 should have been charged with MURDER!New York: Gov. Cuomo issued a directive on March 25 to nursing homes and long-term care facilities that prohibited them from discriminating against residents who had tested positive for the coronavirus. Though it was not an order, nursing homes in New York interpreted it that way and took in COVID-19-positive residents until the directive was invalidated in May.
California: Gov. Gavin Newsom’s administration ordered on April 10 that “patients hospitalized, or receiving treatment at an alternate care site, with COVID-19 can be discharged to a [skilled nursing facility] when clinically indicated.”
Michigan: Gov. Gretchen Whitmer issued a similar order on April 15. The Whitmer administration ordered that a long-term care facility “must not prohibit admission or readmission of a resident based on COVID-19 testing requirements or results.” The policy was renewed three times until it was rescinded in July 2020.
New Jersey: Gov. Phil Murphy approved a directive from state Health Commissioner Judith Persichilli that said no patient can be denied admission or readmission to a nursing home “solely based on a confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19.” A patient should not be discharged until diagnostic test results have confirmed whether he or she should be discharged. However, nursing homes cannot require a discharged patient to undergo a COVID-19 test in order to be admitted to the nursing home as long as doctors conclude that the patient is “medically stable.”
Pennsylvania: Gov. Tom Wolf enacted a mandatory admission policy in March, saying that “nursing care facilities must continue to accept new admissions and receive readmissions for current residents who have been discharged from the hospital who are stable.” The policy was enacted to protect hospitals from being overwhelmed by the volume of COVID-19 patients.
