More scrutiny needed of Florida coronavirus isolation centers, seniors' advocates say.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said that even if exposed, people without symptoms don't necessarily need to get tested.

As the outbreak worsened, Florida Gov. Ron De Santis adopted a different approach to nursing homes infections than the one used by New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who has faced criticism for directing nursing homes in the state to let residents return after being hospitalized for COVID-19. New York has reported more than 6,600 deaths at long-term care facilities, out of a total of 32,000 fatalities.

Kristen Knapp, a spokesperson for the Florida Health Care Association, which has partnered with Florida's ACHA, the government agency that oversees the centers, said that facilities receive a reimbursement for serving as an isolation center, but she did not specify the amount.A senior citizen holds the hand of a care coordinator at a Health facility in Miami, July 17, 2020.

Manderfield dismissed concerns about the use of facilities that had subpar ratings, saying the state carefully vetted isolation locations and made certain all were “in full compliance” with state and federal nursing home regulations. He said the state reviewed every facility “to ensure they are capable of maintaining safe and separate spaces for COVID-positive patients.”

“We really felt that it was an opportunity to assist the state of Florida and definitely assist our most vulnerable populations, which we know is our elderly population,” Biegasiewicz said.

Democrats are masters of playing the race, gender and class cards. They do this because it works. At the Convention we now need to add a new card the Covid card. Democrats say never let a good plandemic go to waste. Trump gets blamed for the deaths and the economic downturn.

Who cares about the FL seniors? They all can catch Coronavirus. They all vote for Trump anyway. So, they deserve what they get.

Another one who exaggerates his penis size.

This Governor said he didn’t need NY Gov. help because of how NYC handled the Nursing Home population. Oh look, he can’t handle it either. NY is doing better than most states. Maybe he should rethink this.

Meh. It is what it is. It will disappear once the weather gets warmer. Bigly.

We learned this in Australia. 'For Profit' Dying houses kill its residents with Covid because Profits Lives. Passing it on.

The MAGA will turn a blind eye to this but the MAGA will go after Cuomo for the same issue.

More scrutiny needed of Florida, period 😂
