The devastating wave of deaths at nursing homes in the spring was blamed in part on a lack of personal protective equipment, or PPE, such as masks, gloves and gowns, along with a shortage of workers and a lack of COVID tests. Since then, health officials and facility administrators say they have worked to ensure a better supply of equipment and tests.
Unfortunately, research by University of Chicago professor Tamara Konetzka found that the changes don’t appear to have stopped recent increases in COVID among the general population from spreading to nursing homes again.
Keep your eye out for further manipulations to keep serving the fear and death narrative — just heard report of hospital equipment actually being withheld, shortages, etc. As in, unseen in the whistleblower’s 20-yr. healthcare history. I don’t put it past these covid cultists to actually cause deaths in this fashion.

Wow!
With all these “Covid Deaths” in Illinois, I must be the only one, in the entire “State of Intoxication” that does not know anyone that has died from it…

Pritzker is heading out of town for the holiday violating Lightfoot’s travel ban. Nothing like the king doing what the commoner’s can’t.
Sure shut down the entire state when almost 50% of all Covid deaths stem from nursing homes. Not sure if nursing home residents who were transferred from nursing homes to hospitals and died there were counted as deaths in hospitals or deaths in nursing homes. If nursing home patients died in hospitals then nursing home deaths would be a greater percentage of all deaths. Does anyone know?
It’s the latter. Hospitals were made to “clear” beds to make “room” (a psy-op in itself), thus sending older patients needing acute care to nursing homes which could not provide it. Thus more nursing home deaths. I expect more, if slightly different, maneuvers like this in coming months. We are in evil times.

Pritzker STILL NOT protecting the most vulnerable!!!
HE is just taking his cues from Cuomo.
Soon Fat A** will be out with his own book about his service to Illinois while he was in Florida or Wisconsin.

So internist Ezike just admitted that’s it’s not bars and restaurants but sadly nursing homes and long term care facilities. Priztker and Ezike have both known all along about are seniors and the most vulnerable. Both need to be put on the carpet for there negligence.
Absolutely. They have known for months that there would likely be another wave in the fall- and that nursing homes are most vulnerable. Instead of protecting the vulnerable, they waste funds on things like “contact tracing” that will never work.

A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
