America is a joke. Trumps a disgrace. Not a country for the old or the poor.

MaddowBlog maddow with elderly residents dying in nursing homes & rehab facilities, the bigger question is WHY were they NOT transferred to acute care hospitals for treatment? Nursing home staff & facilities are NOT equipped to provide the level of critical care required for these patients

MaddowBlog Need more proof that our country is incapable of protecting its must vulnerable. The sad thing is that over the past 40 years America's media has become as useless as its government.

May they RIP 🙏

SAD!!!😷NO!🐃💩....

Sounds like Chaim took advantage of the virus. This looks suspicious. No way to give them autopsy’s. God bless them.

False news.

America’s overall morality rate isn’t going up, week-to-week, compared to past years. Not even New York State’s. We’ve been had. This virus isn’t killing EXTRA people; we’re just seeing different causes of death recorded...and letting politicians suspend our rights.

grannysharon3 I bet he's a white guy. No prominent Other would take advantage of an unfortunate situation in the name of the FIX. Greed! I bet he's a Republican.

MaddowBlog So sad, so sad

Good ol New Jersey!

Omg!! Who own's that facility? Donald Trump

Remember when tRump said COVID19 is a hoax? Yeah,good times.

But let’s go ahead and open everything up because clearly things are getting better🙄

This virus is different, it's goal is to kill. America must pull together to stamp it out.

MaddowBlog :(

MaddowBlog Chris Christie will be at the beach if you need him.

Nursing homes are where extra medical personnel and resources need to go.

Grrrrrrrrrrrr

MaddowBlog This is so sad ! We are failing!

POTUS is solely responsible, He didn't act quickly.

MaddowBlog 💔💔💔💔

Very Ugly situation...

RIP
