DHHS Robert Gordon is testifying again before the Legislature on nursing home policies. He says the state never forced nursing homes to take COVID-19 patients. The policy in an original EO never took effect, he says. #mileg
Gordon also says states that went with COVID-only facilities, Florida & Massachusetts, are no longer doing so #mileg
Gordon says a key provision in the original EO was never really in effect because the department never issued related guidance #mileg
Michigan's % of COVID-19 deaths that are nursing home residents isn't really out of step nationally. Gordon says it's actually a bit lower than the national average. #mileg
A Repubican senator is sharply questioning Gordon on why state had shortage of PPE. He responds: There was a shortage across the US of PPE. LaSata seems to be blaming the Whitmer admin for the worldwide PPE shortage...#mileg
LaSata - Why did it take so longer for the state to form a nursing home task force? Gordon: 'We were busy.' #mileg
