Calif. nursing home inspectors weren't being tested for China Virus

Nursing home inspectors in Soviet Kalifornia, were not taking mandatory Chinese Communist Wuhan Coronavirus testing as part of their job, in spite of the lockdowns and myriad nursing home deaths, or so claims a crack team of investigators for The Los Angeles Times.

The newspaper reports that about 500 nursing home inspectors whose job it is to ensure state compliance with infection control regulations covered the state's 1,200 skilled nursing facilities (SNFs), which house residents who are medically fragile and require ongoing nursing intervention beyond that of a simple health care facility (HRF). For example, in an HRF, a resident can toilet him- or herself, can eat without assistance, and may only need assistance with medication compliance and the like. In an SNF, the residents are more like patients than people simply living there and require a great deal more help in activities of daily living.

Some of the SNFs that were inspected were visited on more than one occasion.

The investigation was published Friday morning after the outlet conducted interviews with eight “registered nurses working as inspectors for the Kalifornia Department of Public Health — all of whom spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of retaliation."

So there's even a cancel culture in the health care industry.

The Times reported that one inspector said nursing home administrators were “absolutely, visibly shocked” they weren’t required to be tested, and believes those places “only let us in because we’re the state; they’re scared to say no.”

Experts and nursing home advocates have appeared confused by the state’s original testing policy, which makes as much sense as believing that it's okay for the left to protest "systemic racism" in enormous crowds, but going to church will get you killed.

Health care policy professor David Grabowski, of Harvard Medical School, told the LA Times: “It makes basically no sense that we’ve locked these facilities down since March, keeping families out, only to learn inspectors have been moving from facility to facility without being tested.”

After the investigation was published, Kalifornia's useless Governor Gavin Newsom (D) said during a press conference that the coronavirus testing policy for inspectors had now changed, but did not indicate as of when.

6,300 nursing home residents died

“We’re raising our standards. We’re requiring for every sector that an inspector is inspecting that they meet the same criteria that’s established within that sector,” joked Newsom. “So that has been changed.”

That's like sneezing and then covering your mouth.

“It is — forgive me — in the lexicon of government, a meet-and-confer issue with our bargaining units, but we will raise that standard,” the Ken Doll governor added. ["However, I'm not worried; my job is safe because the media will have my back," he forgot to add.]

But according to The Times,  “none of the inspectors” they spoke to “said they had been interviewed by a contact tracer since the beginning of the pandemic.”

In late June, The New York Times, a former newspaper, reported that over 40% of coronavirus deaths across the country were linked to nursing homes, either residents or workers. In Kalifornia, the share of deaths is 45%. Many of these deaths were caused by New York's incompetent Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) who mandated that COVID patients sent to the hospital be returned to their respective nursing homes, which obviously infected and eventually killed their roommates.

But no worries, Andy and Gavin, the media has your backs.
