Nursing Homes in the Pandemic:
I was afraid to read another sentence in this incredible, horrifying and life altering but spectacular Investigative reporting by The NY Times on Race and Nursing homes in America during this pandemic.
The surrender , tolerance and acceptance that Black life as a resident/patient in a nursing home during the pandemic was worthless and forgettable to the nursing home operators/owners and ultimately the government was shocking and extremely disturbing!
Every nursing home in America that has majority demographics of both Black residents and staff should be shuttered ASAP by state governments .
There should be immediate testing and removal of all patients in nursing homes where the virus has left a body count.
Civil and Criminal lawsuits should be filed not just against the nursing homes but also any government agency that licensed nursing homes and had oversight.
I have never read such a ‘real time’ state of reporting that disclosed such inhumane conditions in any facility and setting providing healthcare services in America.
I hope every attorney general in every state of America reads this reporting and without any hesitation intervene in this killing field we call nursing homes in America
Every family that has a family member, relative , friend and employee of any nursing home in America should rush to that nursing home ASAP to check on the person before the Virus strikes!!

Virus- Thoughts at Large
Once the CDC and media platforms start publishing the disproportionate racial data about both deaths and infections vast bandwidths in White America became less compliant with the Virus safety protocols
The more data which isolates nursing homes, contact workers and race that intersect with Virus deaths expect more disregard and contempt from Americans towards these impacted bandwidths in America
In a perverse counter intuitive reality the more facts and knowledge don’t always create more positive outcomes
GD this Virus!!!!!

I have no problem nor objections to selective regional reopening of business in states across the nation .
Facts and science dictate such a posture with on going PPE , Hospital and Safe Distance protocols. Data on Virus deaths must be uniform and accurate is a death caused by the Virus or did the dead have the Virus????
This should not be a political partisanship issue. This is about the people of America in areas and regions of America
Workers returning to work, Nursing home residents and Prison inmates and guards, Military troops and civilian workers have to have priority in any return to work and reopening plans

Virus- Thoughts at Large
I was in the Post Office today and it was bumpin with seniors . Seniors were in full force with walkers , canes, bandages, scars, carts.
Some were alone, many with other seniors, plenty of grandchildren also was clinging to their grannies and grandpa’s
There was also anxiety and fear in the air the vibe was full of concern over the Virus. I know because I was there too as a Senior

In America many realities are racialized from Crime to Economic status. I expected the same racial narrative with the Virus pandemic in America.
Our first responders when they are doctors and nurses are celebrated as heroes and heroines. Contact workers of color and their risks are diminished and often ignored in these parades and celebrations
It is unfolding daily the poor especially Black Americans are being designated as the Virus, by many in majority ( read White venues ).
There exists an underlying the myth of ‘United We Stand’ propaganda growing in our nation.The theme of ‘those people’ is once again undermining collective solidarity against the Virus
In this climate of the racialized Virus selective enforcement protocols already exist arrests instead of tickets are given to violaters of social distance protocols.
Media platforms constantly elevate stories of White families as able navigators during the Virus while ignoring the same in poor and Black families.
Selective religious groups are given priority treatment while White protestors in many states today are affirmed and validated as ‘freedom fighters’
The Virus has now been weaponized to inflict not only death to many but also to wage a civil war against many.
What happens when those are have been wrongfully weaponized become insurgents waging their own civil war ?

American Justice
Once justice is secured in the unlawful execution of another unarmed Black American in Georgia
I welcome legislation that sanctions and allows for criminal indictments against prosecutors and others in law enforcement that obstructed Justice in the pursuit of ‘due process’ for Black Americans in Hate Crimes of this nature
Our society can’t continue to ignore and dismiss the malfeasance and intentional failure of our officials in our Justice system towards Black Americans and others

Coumo ‘s decision making in NY now does not look so breath taking and heroic now !!!!
Consider:
1) Subways. The subways are filthy and the ventilation terrible , a petri dish for transmission of the virus.
What did he do? Cut the number of running cars in half, so all the medical staff workers and homeless and travelers from China can get all crammed together.
Just last week, they finally decided to sanitize the subway and get the homeless out.
CT NJ and NY have massive outbreaks, in areas served by the subway!
2) Cuomo approves policy of moving COVID patients INTO nursing homes. Borderline criminal negligence. Nursing homes deaths skyrocket.
3) The demographics of the staff of nursing home employees and deaths don’t look like Cuomo perhaps reasons scan disclosures about staffing at nursing homes
Cuomo obsess about young people exercising outdoors.
Science says: outdoor transmission rare; even Cuomo feigned surprise when it was shown 66% of NY cases are from those locked down at home!
Compare to Florida, with similar population as NY, but more elderly, that Governor sent the National Guard to lock down nursing homes
FL deaths: 1,800
NY deaths : 26,000
