Placing a loved one in a nursing home is one of life's most difficult decisions. When families make this decision, they want the peace of mind that comes from knowing their loved ones will be safe, that they will have the best possible quality of life and that they can stay connected with them. That's why the devastation caused by coronavirus in nursing homes around the country is so tragic.
Unfortunately, nursing homes have long struggled with infection control—a problem that the Trump administration This week, we announced phased recommendations for relaxing that restriction—and others—that can help protect nursing home residents as many states gradually reopen. The recommendations urge extreme caution when it comes to this most fragile population, and include rigorous benchmarks on key indicators like testing. Such guidance often takes as much as a year to develop; the team at CMS has put out roughly one a week since March 1.
LOL. Trump lied about the seriousness of the virus for weeks. His cover up led to thousands of deaths in nursing homes. TrumpIsALaughingStock
Now we're rewriting history? Apologist propaganda. No thanks, Newsweek.
There is a difference between an opinion and facts, right? . . . Just asking.
Bullshit
Liars!
Tell that to the people of Andover Subacute.
NEWSWEEK SHOULD BE PUBLICALLY VILLIFIED FOR PUBLISHING SUCH A TOTALLY FALSE PIECE OF PROPOGANDA (unless it is trying to replace Fox News as Trump's Propoganda media outlet)
Wait.
This year's election is a tough decision between idiots.
When did Newsweek become Comedy Central?
Wtf Newsweek? You’ve been posting a lot of bullshit lately.
Is this a joke?
What a bunch of BS
Why publish and distribute lies?
There was NO early action by this sorry excuse for a president. This sorry excuse for a human being. In case you haven't noticed, nursing homes have been nothing short of Petri dishes for this virus and death. When early action would have saved lives, he was calling it a hoax!
33% of all deaths caused by COVID19 were nursing home residents and staff. 33,000 out of 100,000.
Oh, and unfollow.
If only we had something called, I dunno, reality, to check this against.
I think not.
No wonder none of us read this piece of crap publication anymore. You’ve got to be fucking kidding. 1/3 of the 88,400 people who’ve died have been in nursing homes and assisted living facilities. Can’t believe you actually publish this drivel.
What the AF ?!
jyester55 Well that’s a load of bullshit!
Are you joking? Hahahahaha
Democrats
What you smoking?
Written by a Drumpf appointee. Really, Newsweek
LiesLiesLies
Propaganda! Come on -
Thank god it's just an opinion... tbe facts don't back it
Um....no it didn't. My grandpa got covid over 3 weeks after his home had been locked down. He and 8 others in that home in rural Oklahoma didn't make it.
Seema Verma is an American health policy consultant and since March 2017 administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, serving in the Trump Administration.
Ask the many Americans who lost their love ones what they think of Trump’s action on the coronavirus was adequate?
Why lie all the time ? He has done nothing except ventilators and that’s it !
This is a LIE
What asskisser wrote this “opinion”?
Nice to see this is getting ratio’d into the Earth’s core.
Shocking, a Trump appointed hack, who spent millions of taxpayer dollars on consultants to boost her image, is spreading pro-Trump bullshit. should be embarrassed to have published such horse shit.
This is completely untrue. In the nursing home where i work, we do not have adequate PPE to protect our Residents or staff. That is Trump’s fault.
I would like to have what the writer of this is having. Over ice or intravenously....
Is this parody?
This is a joke right?FocusOnTheTrumpDeathToll100K FocusOnTheTrumpDeathToll100K FocusOnTheTrumpDeathToll100K
Incorrect. Literally the opposite.
Satire, right?!
trumptheTWIT has already shown he's only interested in peoples votes, not their health, buying loyalty by putting money in voters pockets the US does not have. Now his advisers are using the older folks as his next lie? How much lower can this slug go?
REALLY?
I smell BS
shame on you
Hahaha...why does the media bother publishing this opinion pieces from Trump cult members?
Country Fucked
I call Bullshit!
How much they pay you to say this garbage trash lie?
Trump's early action? That's BS. He should have acted when he heard the first time, but he ignored intel. This lazy buffoon only gets credit for American deaths. TrumpOwnsEveryDeath TrumpIsACompleteFailure
Wtf
Almost 100,000 American's can't read this article 😥
Trump’s lies and deceit exacerbated the pandumbic and created an upgrade from moronavirus to coronavirus and the US is closing in on 100,000. So much winning huh traitor trumpy? realDonaldTrump FLOTUS GOP GOPChairwoman
Newsweek used to have a credible reputation. This is damaging, allowing an opinion piece that praises trump for 2 things he never did, 1- early action, 2-save countless lives.
Note: Opinion only. Heavily contradicts known historical facts, which show epic failure on part of POTUS45 admin; with heavy toll among seniors in care facilities.
Done following you.
Nope.
newaweek YOU hAVE BEEN HACKED!
You should lede with “Opinion from inside Trump’s world“ not that ridiculous headline that makes you look insane
Bull shit!
Are you kidding? Who wrote this garbage and what editor allowed it?
This is a biased opinion piece. You need to make that clear in the tweet. Do better!
Lies from Newsweek......not good.
Stop it.
I thought this was The Onion
This is the new Fox News garbage 🗑
Based on what true facts? In Ky our governor moved with lightening speed to circle the wagons around the nursing homes...while Trump set fire to Rome.
Bullshit!!
Nope.
Complete and utter unadulterated bullshite
If indeed this assessment is true, then why was it reported this morning that nursing home numbers would be excluded from the general Covid19 death tallies?
'83% Covid 19 deaths in the US could have been avoided if lockdowns began 2 weeks sooner!'
Does that count February-March 15 when he was calling it a hoax?
This was no empathetic caring of the persons in those nursing homes! Ya think he didn't do it so that no increase hysteria over the 'epidemic' that would further undermine his electoral standing for November.
Not only is this NOT true, but the number of deaths and cases due to COVID are not reported or included in any totals. Shame on all of you in the Trump administration!
You can't fill out your own report card.
I call bullshit!!!
Of course it's an opinion piece, because we all know it's not true.
And to all fake nice communist liberal people if you don't remember he closed the country on Jan31. You are all dementia sick. Trump 2020
I am impressed toilet comunist papers recognize the job of our President. Thank you Trump2020. DeSantis 2024
This is pure bullshit. They’re the first to die.
Yes. True. Trump saved lives. Biden travel policy would have led to a million deaths.
must have had some new MAGA kool-aid dispensers installed... they’ve been writing some BS articles lately!
What action was actually taken?
Thank God its just an opinion.
Sure but would have saved thousands more if he acted when he was briefed
This was deemed fake news as soon as you included “early action”. The only early action from Trump is lying to the public and golf.
Is this reprinted from The Onion?
you mean his actions of abdicating responsibility and leaving the work to states and localities. guess that did help, because him incompetence certainly cost lives.
I see, a Trump appointee writing an opinion piece for Newsweek. TrumpHasNoPlan
Where’s the laugh button it the bs button
Another media death rattle... you’re better than this. Ok, you’re supposed to be. Are opinion pieces not fact-checked?!
“By simply hitting Americans with the bus once, Trump saved the lives that would have been lost if he’d backed over them repeatedly. Win!” 🙄 GOPDeathCult
Fake news
In what country.
HAHA STOP BULLSHITTING !
From Wikipedia re: the author- In December 2019, columnist Michael Hiltzik of the Los Angeles Times declared 'Seema Verma is the greatest threat to public health programs in the Trump administration, with the possible exception only of Azar himself.' [22]
Who on earth is writing this? Clown TrumpsLacky
Sycophant Seema Verma’s 🤮 🤮 🤮
Checked who wrote this and didn’t read further. Clue: It’s one of the ass kissing gas lighters
When did Newsweek start saying such conservative lies? This is wrong on steroids.
A member of his admin writing an opinion piece showering praise “Dear Leader” style. Well, I know where this goes:
The early action of ignoring, denying, and hand-waving?
I see I have to block you too. Was the original plan to kill them all?
Early ?! Who is the suck ass that wrote that bs ?!
Hahahaha!
Is this a joke?
huh?
Here comes the haters.....3 2 1
Spit take. Who wrote this drivel?
Is this a joke?
