    Whitmer undercounted Michigan nursing home COVID-19 deaths, auditor general report to find


    An imminent report from Michigan’s auditor general is expected to show that deaths due to COVID-19 in nursing homes in the state were undercounted by about 30%, bringing to mind the drastic undercount of deaths in New York facilities revealed last year.

    Auditor General Doug Ringler is expected to release the full report next week, detailing the vast undercount of deaths due to COVID-19 in state long-term care facilities, the Detroit Free Press reported. While his report is expected to put the undercount at 30%, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Charlie LeDuff, who argued in court last year that the state underestimated the death toll, said that figure could actually be as high as 42%.

    Another Democrat has significantly undercounted Nursing Home deaths from Covid-19. It seem the killing of elderly nursing homes by Democrats Governors due to Covid-19 policies in 2020 was a systemic problem that is not exclusive to New York. Whitmer, just like murderer Cuomo, undercounted nursing home deaths. In toll, over hundred thousand people could have been saved if the Democrats had been stopped from pursuing such dangerous policies. The Democrats in the media did nothing to prevent the tragedy, and scapegoated Trump. If they had reported news, many people would have survived.

    At issue is how many nursing deaths occurred in Michigan and whether Whitmer’s COVID-19 policies exacerbated nursing home deaths by housing infected patients with those most vulnerable to die from COVID-19. COVID-19 disproportionately kills the elderly and those with pre-existing health conditions. In Michigan, 84% of the state’s total COVID-19 victims were ages 60 and older.

    • Nursing home deaths/murders.
    • Rampant violations of their own policies (masklessness, partying, eating out, hair salons, etc).
    • Open borders, 2 million invaders in 2021 alone, all of them kept in densely pack cages just long enough to pass COVID around before being set loose into American cities
    • Unenforced travel bans.
    • Unenforced travel restrictions (citizens have to show proof of vax to enter but illegal invaders don't).
    • Unenforced social distancing restrictions (rioting is ok because, ya know, black people reparations social justice blah blah blah, and of course gay pride parades must go on but don't you don't try to go to Church).
    • The politically motivated Brandon White House to CDC May unmasking order that produced the Delta surge.
    • The subsequent revolving door of CDC guidance and complete lack of emphasis or action on masking that has produced the Omicron surge.
    Democrat politicians at state and federal levels don't actually want COVID to be beaten. They just want to be seen acting like they do while in secret every decision they make ensures the spread continues. Republicans are not in any way shape or form better but at least they're honest about their intentions. When they say they think COVID is a hoax, or that its 'no worse than the flu', or they we should be spreading it because 'herd immunity', or whatever else, point is they're being honest - they really mean it (as dumb as it is). But Democrats are just so atypically hypocritically two-faced about COVID. They say all the right things but then they go out and act with the same selfish disregard that Republicans display.

    Of course they under counted them, Democrats caused many of those deaths with their reckless policies.... and then tried to blame Trump.

    Is this the same Whitmer whose staff ignored her quarantines and went to Florida for spring break?

    or

    Is this the same Whitemer whose husband ignored her quarantines and used his name to bully his way into going boating?

    or

    Is this the same Whitmer who was the original anti government insurrectionist?

    Ad, here is the OTHER Side:

    Michigan health officials are disputing a report that they say is expected to allege the state undercounted potentially hundreds or thousands of COVID-19 deaths of residents at long-term care facilities.
    In a recent letter to the Michigan Office of the Auditor General released Tuesday, Michigan Department of Health and Human Services Director Elizabeth Hertel says the auditor general made a series of errors, including conflating death definitions, examining data from facilities not required to report deaths and using sources that are unreliable.

    She was killing them.

    Americans fed up with the COVID Authoritarians:

    Half-Whitmer was just as bad.

    Yeah. So we need to finally get our collective **** together and stop thinking masks will go away. I hate it when our leaders are addressing the public and they don't have a mask on. Masks are here to stay for the foreseeable future. We really have to rebuild society around the idea this pandemic will not be going anywhere.

    Also-people can't say the covid death toll is overreported and say it's underreported at the same time. Doesn't work like that.

    Brandon's government refuses to put emphasis on masks. Why? I have my theory and its damned rock solid. But before I drop the big brain I want to hear your thoughts on why this tool, this thing we know works, this thing we can easily Constitutionally mandate nation wide and easily confirm is being complied with... why is thing, masking, being totally ignored by Brandon's administration?

    Fair enough, but until they present evidence to that effect its all empty words.

    Masks do not work and are already gone in most areas. And there is no need to rebuild society around covid, simply moving on for most people is fine and those at risk can use personal responsibility to protect themselves.

    Yesterday, the below-average intelligent people believed Covid Deaths were over-counted.

    Today, same people are now saying; Covid Deaths have been undercounted.

    In addition to the above, back in April 2020, I created a thread in reference to Cuomo’s undercounting his Nursing Homes/LTCF Covid deaths.

    However, said thread was created during a period when Republicans didn’t like the word “undercounted”, And Democrats were Pro-Cuomo, thus, no wonder why I only received a few responses.

    Most Governors, if not all, have undercounted their Nursing Homes/LTCF Covid deaths.

    And intelligent people have always known that.
