Minnesota nursing homes, already the site of 81% of COVID-19 deaths, continue taking in infected patients

Minnesotans must hate old people or maybe it’s just another Dem Governor?

One rat came up with the idea and other just piggy back as most don't have an original thought in their head. I'm thinking manslaughter charges reckless endangerment at a minimum.

There is a financial component to this. Most of the people in nursing homes are paying for the home with Medicare. Medicare pays a fraction of what hospitals are able to bill private insurers. They are being put back into the nursing homes because of the cost. If they had private insurance that could be billed full freight they wouldn't be transferred out of the hospitals.

I was thinking they transfered them to free up hospital beds from the massive, crushing number of hospitalizations for the China virus.
