New Jersey Investigates State's Nursing Homes, Hotbed Of COVID-19 Fatalities

In the first few days after Grewal's office asked the public to report any leads on possible misconduct, he says more than 200 tips poured in.Is your investigation more focused on what happened after the deaths at these nursing homes — or on what factors may have contributed to these high death rates?

It's both. We have a number of theories of liability. It could be anything from consumer fraud to criminal homicide to criminal or civil false claims to regulatory violations. If people cut corners, if they put profits over patients, if they weren't adequately staffed, if there was some degree of negligence. But certainly in the handling of corpses, if there was anything that was criminal in that aspect of it as well, we're looking at that as well.

Do you think New Jersey had enough oversight over these facilities, or do you think that had there been closer monitoring, more regulation of these facilities, there may have been fewer deaths? I think it's premature for me to reach that conclusion; I think certainly that's one aspect of what we'll be looking at.

HarryCardillo Of course there are problems at NH's. The CNA's are mainly immigrants. It's low pay, physically demanding and emotionally exhausting. Americans won't work there. Short staffed and now Trump's been trying to get it so they don't have to have a full time infection control person.

The governor forced covid+ patients into nurse home infecting others. The Governor needs to answer for this!

They should be!

53%? And the state is still on lockdown? Time to open.

I was just at uwf college in Florida and students were not masked and no distancing, go desantis

DNC operatives are moving infected patients around the country. It’s their best chance of unseating Trump. (Just a thought...but hardly far fetched).

It's almost like NY and NJ were trying to kill senior citizens.

Maybe they shouldn’t have forced them to take Covid patients? Are they going to investigate themselves?
