Whitmer’s administration is facing criticism from Democrats and Republicans on the state’s mishandling of nursing homes and assisted living facilities during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has spent the last several months raising her national profile in a bid to become Joe Biden’s running mate.
“Whitmer’s office gave the ‘green light’ for a COVID-19 contact tracing ‘arrangement’ she denied knowledge of and canceled amid outcry over a contractor with Democratic ties.”
Michigan’s contact tracing initiative has been controversial to say the least after Gov. Whitmer canceled the initial no-bid contract that went to Democrat campaign vendors.
Reports say COVID-19 deaths in nursing homes account for 42 percent of deaths nationwide, yet Michigan still hasn’t created a thorough plan to protect the most vulnerable.
We now know COVID-19 in nursing homes account for 42% of deaths nationwide yet Michigan still hasn’t released data or a thorough plan to protect the most vulnerable.
It’s clear that Whitmer and her family believe that there’s one set of rules for them and another for the rest of us.
It’s clear that COVID-19 death prevention should be focused on our most vulnerable population in nursing homes using facts, science, and data and Whitmer’s administration is failing to do so.
The Whitmer administration needs to immediately release the number of COVID-19 related deaths statewide.
It’s time for Gov. Whitmer to stop prioritizing cable news appearances and raising her national political profile and start focusing on the lives and livelihoods that are being destroyed in her state.
It seems Whitmer is more focused on raising her national profile by campaigning for Joe Biden than solving the health and economic problems ravaging our state.
