(Here in Minnesota it has been "unofficially" reported to be 80%)
Long-term care facilities in Massachusetts accounted for nearly 60% of all coronavirus-related deaths in the state, one of the highest publicly reported rates in the country.
Citing data from the Kaiser Family Foundation, The Boston Globe reports Rhode Island appears to have the highest rate in the nation, at about 71%, followed by Massachusetts.This is one of those statistics that our Minnesota Covid-19 website conveniently doesn't provide. But when asked just a few days ago we learned:
Total deaths attributed by the authorities to the virus are 419, with 338 of the 419 among residents of long-term care facilities. Nursing home/long-term care deaths now account for slightly in excess of 80 percent of all deaths attributed to the virus. The median age of all decedents remains 83.So I suspect that the real reason why Rhode Island leads the nation is because other states are not actually providing the true data for the Kaiser Family Foundation to compare. A quick look at Kaiser and they suggest in Minnesota we are only providing the share of "cases" (which is 23%) not the share of deaths.
I suspect that the number vary on what is considered to be a long term facility and whether or not they died while in that facility or at a hospital. But there is no question that a fairly large significant portion of those suffering from Covid-19 are elderly who live in senior communities, assisted living communities, or nursing homes.

Governor Unveils Innovative 37-Step Plan To Reopen State Over The Next 10 Years
SHARE
U.S.—With many Americans eager to get back to work, state governors across the country are responding with their plans for giving everyone permission to be normal human beings again. One state governor is enjoying universal acclaim after unveiling his own innovative plan for getting his state reopened.
The new plan is called 'Our Vision for Health, Safety, Virtue, and Eternal Peace' and is a 37-step, 10-year plan for slowly opening up sections of the state economy. It reads as follows:
1.Form an exploratory committee to consult various experts on reopening things
2.Set date to hear recommendations from the exploratory committee
3.Create a panel of experts to explore the recommendations recommended by the exploratory committee
4.Build a brand new website to post exploratory committee recommendations for public comment
5.Discuss feedback from health experts over catered seafood lunch
6.Wait 4 weeks to see if catered seafood lunch led to any additional COVID infections
7.Hire commission to gauge the effectiveness of collaboration over catered seafood lunches
8.Take away all the guns
9.Announce a 12-phase reopening of the economy, starting with the businesses with the best lobbyists
10.Begin Phase 1
11.Form a new committee to review the effectiveness of Phase 1 before moving on to Phase 2
12.Order more drones from China and post them in front of every hair salon
13.Draft new legislation to allow voting by show of hands over Facebook live
14.Announce reopening of all golf courses in close proximity to the statehouse
15.Hold public hearings on the effectiveness of the implementation of Phase 1
16.Repeat parts 1-15 until all 12 phases are completed
17.Form an exploratory committee to research alternate food sources now that catered seafood no longer available
18.Draft legislation allowing people to eat squirrels and possums
19.Overturn squirrels and possums legislation after animal rights groups protest
20.Hire animal rights groups to enforce the overturning of the legislation in order to protect squirrels and possums
21.Introduce tax bill to fund arming all police officers with harpoon guns and spears
22.Strengthen the security of governors mansion with sniper towers and tiger pits
23....Maybe also a moat around the governor’s mansion
24.More drones from China, maybe bigger ones
26.Pass new legislation to fund hiring more enforcers to enforce things
27.Build checkpoints across the state to distribute milk and guzzoline
28.Create jobs by hiring welders to install armor plating on police cars
29.(redacted)
30.(redacted)
31.(redacted)
32.(redacted)
33.(redacted)
34.(redacted)
35.(redacted)(redacted)(redacted)(redacted)(redacted)(redacted)
36.(Super-secret surprise to be determined later)
37.Open the rest of the economy
Gladiator games anyone?
Other states have announced they will wait 10-15 years to judge the effectiveness of this 37 part plan before releasing their own plans. The only exception is Texas, whose governor simply said, "We're open, y'all!"
Another reason the Georgia loser is a loser......babylon bee is about as funny as being an insurance salesman!!!!!11
Roger has settled on what car he is going to be driving.
Audi A8.
IF only he had $85,000 plus.
Hey goat fucker...why are you such a major fucking idiot???? Don't you have ANYTHING else to do other than posting like a scum sucking trumpist?????? If you only had a job.....BWAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!
FBGD. I posted the facts about poor nursing home shut in Alky.
His boosting of wealth for years was all B.S..
A top Health and Human Services official who says he was shoved out of a key coronavirus response job for pushing back on "efforts to fund potentially dangerous drugs promoted by those with political connections" filed a whistleblower complaint Tuesday charging "an abuse of authority or gross mismanagement" at the agency.
In his complaint, Dr. Rick Bright, who until last month was the deputy assistant HHS secretary for preparedness and response and the director of the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority, or BARDA, described a chaotic response to the virus at HHS.
The chaos was fueled largely by "pressure from HHS leadership to ignore scientific merit and expert recommendations and instead to award lucrative contracts based on political connections and cronyism," the complaint says.
Bright filed the complaint with the HHS Inspector General. NBC News has reached out to an agency spokesperson for comment.
The 58-page whistleblower complaint says he was transferred from BARDA "without warning or explanation" over his refusal to embrace hydroxychloroquine — the anti-malarial drug embraced and promoted by President Donald Trump as a potential coronavirus remedy.
“I insisted on scientifically vetted proposals, and I pushed for a more aggressive agency response to COVID-19. My supervisor became furious when Congress appropriated billions of dollars directly to my office, and when I spoke directly to members of Congress,” the complaint says.
There are tweets from Jan 2 2020 made public saying rick bright was going to be replaced because he couldn't get along with his boss.
So all his talk now is fiction.
Long-term care facility crisis!
so now it should be retitled "short-term" care facility ?
Yeah and Bright was being criticized start of the year for being incompetent. Guess he figured out a way to be supported by the rabid left..
Roger is a little behind on his talking points.
Whistleblower Says HHS Ignored Virus Warnings
May 5, 2020 at 3:26 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard
Rick Bright, the former director of the U.S. Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority, filed a whistleblower complaint alleging that the Department of Health and Human Services failed to take early action to mitigate the threat of the novel coronavirus, the AP reports.

My goodness. The politicalwire.com site gives a link to the actual multi-paged whistleblower complaint!
Texas Governor Admits Dangers on Private Call
During a private call, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) admitted that “every scientific and medical report shows” state reopenings “ipso facto” lead to an increase in novel coronavirus cases, even as he publicly announced plans that same week to end an executive stay-at-home order in the state, the Daily Beast reports.
Said Abbott: “How do we know reopening businesses won’t result in faster spread of more cases of COVID-19? Listen, the fact of the matter is pretty much every scientific and medical report shows that whenever you have a reopening—whether you want to call it a reopening of businesses or of just a reopening of society—in the aftermath of something like this, it actually will lead to an increase and spread. It’s almost ipso facto.”
He added: “The more that you have people out there, the greater the possibility is for transmission. The goal never has been to get transmission down to zero.”

Wonder how high above zero he and Ch are willing to go?
See next post.
Relaxing Lockdowns Will Lead to Many More Deaths
“New data from the University of Pennsylvania suggests that relaxing lockdowns across U.S. cities and states could have serious consequences for the country’s battle to contain the coronavirus, which has infected over a million people while killing more than 66,000 people,” Yahoo Finance reports.
“According to the Penn Wharton Budget Model, reopening states will result in an additional 233,000 deaths from the virus … This means that if the states were to reopen, 350,000 people in total would die from coronavirus by the end of June, the study found.”

Sounds like Ch in the previous thread is trying to have it both ways.
As if Ch is saying,
"Those who want to stay home and not infect other people or be infected by them have that right,
and those who want to go out and infect other people and be infected by them have that right."
Hmmmmmm.
A very interesting moral and "Constitutional" question!
Wonder what our founders would say to that?
regarding "whistleblower"(LOL) bright -
he insisted that these drugs be provided only to hospitalized patients with confirmed COVID-19 while under the supervision of a physician.
so did the administration.
he also hired the same hack - katz - who repped dr. cray cray ford against kavanaugh.
so yeah alky, this is an assclown you want to hitch your walker to.
and btw, bright's story is at least a week old.
go back to nappy time.

more regarding bright -
Rick Bright, the director of the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority, was transferred to a new, more narrow role at the National Institutes of Health this week, an HHS spokesperson confirmed. The move was more than a year in the making — Bright had clashed with department leaders about his decisions and the scope of his authority — but came abruptly, said five current and former HHS officials.
https://www.politico.com/news/2020/04/22/hhs-ousts-vaccine-expert-as-covid-19-threat-grows-201642
the more you dig, the more the story reeks of complete bullshit.
good one alky.
LOL.
Way back to jan 2nd, it was known bright was going to be out because he couldn't get along with his bosses. There's even a tweet that has been made public staying it.
it get's better -
One person familiar with the situation said Bright was frozen out of his email and learned about the reassignment only when his name was removed from the BARDA website this weekend. As of Tuesday, Bright had not accepted the reassignment to NIH, where he was tapped to work on efforts to deploy point-of-care Covid-19 testing. Gary Disbrow, Bright’s former deputy, is now BARDA’s acting leader.
Bright told The New York Times on Wednesday that he believed his removal was because of his internal opposition to pursuing investments in malaria drugs as potential treatments for Covid-19, which President Donald Trump has touted without scientific evidence. Three people with knowledge of HHS' recent acquisition of tens of millions of doses of those drugs said that Bright had supported those acquisitions in internal communications, with one official saying that Bright praised the move as a win for the health department as part of an email exchange that was first reported by Reuters last week, although Bright's message was not publicly reported.
"If Bright opposed hydroxychloroquine, he certainly didn't make that clear from his email — quite the opposite," said the official, who has seen copies of the email exchanges.
In a statement late Wednesday, an HHS official directly linked Bright's decisions to the health department's acquisition of the malaria drugs.
"As it relates to chloroquine, it was Dr. Bright who requested an Emergency Use Authorization from the Food and Drug Administration for donations of chloroquine that Bayer and Sandoz recently made to the Strategic National Stockpile for use on COVID-19 patients," spokesperson Caitlin Oakley said. "The EUA is what made the donated product available for use in combating COVID-19."
Bright did not respond to multiple requests for comment on Tuesday and Wednesday. In a statement released by his lawyers, Bright said that he will ask the HHS’s inspector general to “investigate the manner in which this administration has politicized the work of BARDA and has pressured me and other conscientious scientists to fund companies with political connections and efforts that lack scientific merit.”
The scientist whose advice prompted Boris Johnson to lock down Britain resigned from his Government advisory position on Tuesday night as The Telegraph can reveal he broke social distancing rules to meet his married lover.
Professor Neil Ferguson allowed the woman to visit him at home during the lockdown while lecturing the public on the need for strict social distancing in order to reduce the spread of coronavirus. The woman lives with her husband and their children in another house.
The epidemiologist leads the team at Imperial College London that produced the computer-modelled research that led to the national lockdown, which claimed that more than 500,000 Britons would die without the measures.
...
On at least two occasions, Antonia Staats, 38, travelled across London from her home in the south of the capital to spend time with the Government scientist, nicknamed Professor Lockdown.
The 51-year-old had only just finished a two-week spell self-isolating after testing positive for coronavirus.
...
Ms Staats, a left-wing campaigner, made a second visit on April 8 despite telling friends she suspected that her husband, an academic in his 30s, had symptoms of coronavirus.
She and her husband live together with their two children in a £1.9 million home, but are understood to be in an open marriage. She has told friends about her relationship with Prof Ferguson, but does not believe their actions to be hypocritical because she considers the households to be one.

Wow! Well I guess time will tell Reverend! LOL!!!
Remember when it was Florida that would be the next Italy. Or when morons suggested that South Dakota was the new world "hot spot" for Covid-19!!
Why is it Reverend...
That the people you read are always telling us what they "believe" will happened, while never actually reporting what "is" actually happening.
The locked down states of New York, Michigan, New Jersey, Illinois, Pennsyvania and Massachusetts have a total of 1348 deaths reported today.
The "problem states" of Texas, Georgia, Florida, South Dakota, Mississippi and Tennessee have 243.
Why don't you come back to me when some of your experts actually get something (anything) right!!!!
Because I have gotten more stuff right in my spare time than all of our experts combined3
Anyone who follows political_lire and CNN know when the funeral for Kim Jong Un is?
Maybe they are out getting their Pulitzers ?
Also any update on the Russian collusion investigation and General Flynn?
They appear a bit behind, but others appear to be making real progress.
"This means that if the states were to reopen, 350,000 people in total would die from coronavirus by the end of June, the study found.”
Did nursing homes close ? Else will New York offer free subway passes for Covid-19 positives to get to a nursing home and off the streets? That may get us to 350,000. And dems love how Cuomo handled this and his "presidential" briefings.
But nursing homes do appear to have a bit more deaths than other businesses such as barber shops.
Not again.
"Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg hospitalized
Ginsburg, at 87 the oldest Supreme Court member, sought treatment for an infection caused by a gallstone, the court says."
Well, Ch, which is our freedom and our right according to the Bill of Rights and the Constitution?
"Does the Constitution and the Bill of Rights give us the right largely to require
staying home so as not to get infected by others or infect others?
Or does the Constitution and the Bill of Rights give us the right largely to permit
going out so as to get infected by others and infect others?
A very interesting Constitutional question!
Stupid question
If only the feckless cunt Jane would read and understand the US Constitution.
Speaker let them eat Ice Cream .
on the rape aligations against creepy Joe.
"I'm not going to answer this question again,”
Stupid question
galactically stupid on stilts AND steroids, but consider the source.
when it comes to our constitution and the liberals interpretation of it, that's a source amusement and bewilderment. often chilling in its ignorance and arrogance
to get an idea of the pederast's 'thought process' get a load of this liberal 'thought leader':
Originalism comes in several varieties (baroque debates about key theoretical ideas rage among its proponents), but their common core is the view that constitutional meaning was fixed at the time of the Constitution’s enactment. This approach served legal conservatives well in the hostile environment in which originalism was first developed, and for some time afterward.
But originalism has now outlived its utility, and has become an obstacle to the development of a robust, substantively conservative approach to constitutional law and interpretation. Such an approach—one might call it “common-good constitutionalism”—should be based on the principles that government helps direct persons, associations, and society generally toward the common good, and that strong rule in the interest of attaining the common good is entirely legitimate. In this time of global pandemic, the need for such an approach is all the greater, as it has become clear that a just governing order must have ample power to cope with large-scale crises of public health and well-being—reading “health” in many senses, not only literal and physical but also metaphorical and social.
[...]
s for the structure and distribution of authority within government, common-good constitutionalism will favor a powerful presidency ruling over a powerful bureaucracy, the latter acting through principles of administrative law’s inner morality with a view to promoting solidarity and subsidiarity. The bureaucracy will be seen not as an enemy, but as the strong hand of legitimate rule. The state is to be entrusted with the authority to protect the populace from the vagaries and injustices of market forces, from employers who would exploit them as atomized individuals, and from corporate exploitation and destruction of the natural environment. Unions, guilds and crafts, cities and localities, and other solidaristic associations will benefit from the presumptive favor of the law, as will the traditional family; in virtue of subsidiarity, the aim of rule will be not to displace these associations, but to help them function well. Elaborating on the common-good principle that no constitutional right to refuse vaccination exists, constitutional law will define in broad terms the authority of the state to protect the public’s health and well-being, protecting the weak from pandemics and scourges of many kinds—biological, social, and economic—even when doing so requires overriding the selfish claims of individuals to private “rights.” Thus the state will enjoy authority to curb the social and economic pretensions of the urban-gentry liberals who so often place their own satisfactions (financial and sexual) and the good of their class or social milieu above the common good.
In this sense, common-good constitutionalism promises to expand and fulfill, in new circumstances and with a new emphasis, the Constitution’s commitments to promoting the general welfare and human dignity. Overall, constitutionalism will become more direct, more openly moral, less tied to tendentious law-office history and endless litigation of dubious claims about events centuries in the past.
Originalism has done useful work, and can now give way to a new confidence in authoritative rule for the common good.
https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/03/common-good-constitutionalism/609037/
"authoritative rule for the common good"
let that sink in.
if the ideas of an asshole like this were to ever gain a solid foothold in American society, a shooting war should erupt. and deservedly so.
to get an idea of the pederast's 'thought process' get a load of this liberal 'thought leader':
BWAAAAAAAA!!!!! What is most amusing you fucking idiot is that your titular leader is a mentally unstable egoist who only gives a shit about himself!!!!!!! Economy more important then lives.....too bad you aren't one of the sacrificial lambs trump is talking about!!!!!
Sad another lynching in Ga by 2 guys associated with law enforcement claiming the unarmed joggoer was a threat....Unforfrunalely for the shooters....they got a video tape showing the whole incident which blows their story up!!!!!

In a span of 12 hours, a video showing the final moments of a young Brunswick man’s life upended assumptions about what would happen to the father and son under investigation for fatally shooting 25-year-old Ahmaud Arbery.
Brunswick attorney James Yancey said he believes Greg and Travis McMichael would have avoided criminal charges if not for the video. “It showed the depths of humanity,” Yancey said.Now, the investigation enters a whole new phase. GBI agents will now be asking the questions, backed by assurances from Gov. Brian Kemp they’ll conduct a thorough, independent probe.
BTW,,,,,,Lil Schitty....Mn has the largest % increase in case in the US.....be proud!!!!!
Economy more important then lives.....
it's not a binary choice BWAA. and those who try to make it one like my governor only know one thing - how to put politics above all else.
when all you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail. and all the democrat governors are wielding is the hammer of authoritarianism disguised as compassion.
meanwhile cuomo is closing in on 2000 nursing home covid deaths alone. deaths that could've largely been avoided had his policies not been so ghoulish and deadly.
instead he chooses to 'impress' with fabricated quotes from the fictitious AJ Parkinson.
It was Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo in his element: An audience of New York’s elite, from business titans to lobbying powerhouses to real estate barons, sat rapt before him.
As he spoke of the imperative to remake John F. Kennedy Airport, a PowerPoint slide behind him projected a motto with a far broader theme that he quoted to his listeners.
“You are what you build,” Mr. Cuomo told them.
It was a simple encapsulation of his get-it-done governing philosophy. But there was more to those words than that.
When Mr. Cuomo’s father, Mario M. Cuomo, was governor of New York, he attributed some of his favorite sayings to an invented character: A.J. Parkinson. So on this October morning, the younger Mr. Cuomo quietly paid homage to his father and credited his “you are what you build” mantra to the heir of that character: A.J. Parkinson II.
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/01/nyregion/cuomo-governor-third-term-elections.html
liberal politicians seem to possess an insatiable need to infantilize their audience. in this case by inventing imaginary friends, much like a 5 year old.
so it comes as no surprise that you stand in awe of this man, BWAA. he treats you like the special needs child that you are.
"The Plan Is To Have No Plan," says Jay Rosen
Jay Rosen:
“The plan is to have no plan, to let daily deaths between one and three thousand become a normal thing, and then to create massive confusion about who is responsible— by telling the governors they’re in charge without doing what only the federal government can do, by fighting with the press when it shows up to be briefed, by fixing blame for the virus on China or some other foreign element, and by ‘flooding the zone with shit,’ Steve Bannon’s phrase for overwhelming the system with disinformation, distraction, and denial, which boosts what economists call ‘search costs’ for reliable intelligence.
“Stated another way, the plan is to default on public problem solving, and then prevent the public from understanding the consequences of that default. To succeed this will require one of the biggest propaganda and freedom of information fights in U.S. history, the execution of which will, I think, consume the president’s re-election campaign.
“So much has already been made public that the standard script for a White House cover up (worse than the crime…) won’t apply. Instead, everything will ride on the manufacture of confusion. The press won’t be able to ‘expose’ the plot because it will all happen in stark daylight. The facts will be known, and simultaneously they will be inconceivable.”
Ch, you will enjoy how this article is spun by the Conservative Daily Post. It reflects your own point of view here at Ch Untrooth. Note especially what I have boldfaced below:
Husband, Wife, And Adult Son Arrested After Shooting Security Guard Over No Mask
Many people argue this is out of hand… forcing people to wear a mask and bow to other dictatorial, regime-type orders is the cause of this.
The man was doing his job.
SIGN UP FOR CONSERVATIVE DAILY POST NEWS ALERTS
In a terrible result of Michigan’s overreaching COVID crackdown, three people have been charged in the fatal shooting of a Dollar General security guard, after the guard refused entrance to the woman’s daughter because she wasn’t wearing the government mandated face mask.
The Associated Press reported:
A woman, her adult son and husband have been charged in the fatal shooting of a security guard who refused to let her daughter enter a Family Dollar in Michigan because she wasn’t wearing a face mask to protect against transmission of the coronavirus.
Calvin Munerlyn was shot Friday at the store just north of downtown Flint a short time after telling Sharmel Teague’s daughter she had to leave because she lacked a mask, according to Genesee County Prosecutor David Leyton.
Teague, 45, argued with Munerlyn, 43, before leaving. Two men later came to the store.
Teague; her husband, Larry Teague, 44; and Ramonyea Bishop, 23; are charged with first-degree premeditated murder and gun charges.
Larry Teague also is charged with violating Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s executive order mandating that all customers and employees must wear face coverings inside grocery stores, Leyton said.
Witnesses identified Bishop as the man who shot Munerlyn in the back of the head, Leyton said.
Sharmel Teague has been arrested. Police were looking for her husband and son.
No information has been released about the daughter, who has not been charged in the shooting.
“It is important that the governor’s order be respected and adhered to, and for someone to lose their life over it is beyond comprehension,” Leyton said earlier Monday in a statement.
[Many people ask… is it “important” to bow to an arbitrary order based on faulty science and fear-mongering?]
On Thursday, gun-carrying protesters and other demonstrators rallied inside the state Capitol, calling for coronavirus-related restrictions to be lifted. Some protesters with guns — which are allowed in the statehouse — went to the Senate gallery. Some senators wore bulletproof vests.
As of Monday, Michigan has reported 43,754 confirmed COVID-19 virus cases and 4,049 deaths due to complications from the disease.
“The hostile tone that we have seen in recent days on television and in social media can permeate our society in ways we sometimes don’t fully realize or anticipate,” Leyton told reporters Monday. “Decisions like staying home when we can, wearing a mask when going to the store and staying a safe distance from those around us — these should not be political arguments. They don’t necessitate acts of defiance, and we simply cannot devolve into an us versus them mentality.”
Does Leyton really have the right to tell all others what “necessitates” and act of “defiance?”
What if the order involved controlling the population through mandated abortions… or what if citizens were ordered to be forcibly vaccinated? When does the individual get to decide… not the government?
These are questions that boil down to the fundamental beliefs of leftists and conservatives, many people argue, because leftists promote the slave mentality that we must all conform to the government’s care… and conservatives belief that personal liberty should be the first consideration.
Yesterday my wife and I went grocery shopping. We wore masks. We would not have been permitted to enter without them.
I did not want to shoot anyone for requiring that, and do not think my Constitutional rights are violated for requiring that for the safety of myself and of others.
Why Trump Should Worry About His Approval Rate
May 6, 2020 at 8:32 am EDT
Headline by Taegan Goddard
Quote by Jonathan Bernstein:
“Trump’s net approval is -8.1 (that is, 43.2 approval minus 51.3 disapproval). The three recent presidents who were easily re-elected had solid positive net approval at this point: Richard Nixon at +17.7, Bill Clinton at +16.1 and Ronald Reagan at +15.3. The two most recent presidents both won somewhat narrowly; at this point, Barack Obama was at +1.7 and George W. Bush at -0.3. And then there were the two most recent losers. George H.W. Bush had fallen from a then-record approval down to -6.8. Jimmy Carter was only at -2.7, but that was probably just a quirk of the data, since he had recently been at -10 and would soon sink even further underwater.
“Both Carter and the first Bush dipped lower by Election Day; the three easy winners all improved further. That suggests there’s still time for Trump to either rise to a level where he could win re-election — or to plunge low enough for former Vice President Joe Biden to win something around 400 electoral votes.
“The truth is that if voters react to the current recession the way they typically do in an election year, Trump will lose, and lose badly.”
