Mass murder of the elderly and frail will continue
I can't see how this bodes well for Trumps reelection
Mass murder could have been stopped earlier

Coronavirus patients could be cash cows for nursing homes

The nursing home industry has been devastated by the coronavirus, with outbreaks killing thousands of elderly residents and likely setting the stage for both increased regulations and huge legal liabilities.
But the health crisis presents operators with a potential financial upside.
Patients with COVID-19 could be worth more than four times what homes are able to charge for long-term residents with relatively mild health issues.
Some patient advocates and industry experts fear the premium pay available for coronavirus patients — and a simultaneous easing of regulations around transfers — could tempt some home operators to move out low-paying residents to bring in more lucrative COVID-19 patients, despite the obvious health risks to residents and staff.
“There are probably some unscrupulous operators who would jump at this,” said David Grabowski, a professor of healthcare policy at Harvard Medical School, though he thought most would not.
A new Medicare reimbursement system that went into effect last fall pays nursing homes substantially more for new patients — including those released from a hospital — particularly for the first few weeks. Under those guidelines, COVID-19 patients can bring in upward of $800 per day, according to nursing home administrators and medical directors interviewed by The Times.

Yet the Federal Government was still funding Nursing Homes
