Unfortunately on march 24th Governor Cuomos Health Department issued this directive in contradiction to the cms dai take covid19 patients. New jersey essentially copied the same directive from norcal order with similar deadly results. Two weeks earlier Governor Desantis in florida prohibited transfers kv s covid19 patient were positive to Nursing Homes. Very different orders resulting in very different results. And pennsylvania, continued to accept new admissions and readmissions including patients covid19 positive.

Responsible for overseeing Nursing Homes to testify today. She was offered dates and times of her choice this month and next month. She was offered the opportunity to come in person or appear virtually from her desk. Administration, which seems more terrified of transparency and accountability then covid19, has declined to provide any witness with the courage to face the responsibility for the thousands of deaths that have occurred. These were send a crisis that existed long before covid19 occurred. We will learn from a nurse who took it on herself to purchase protective equipment with her own funds for her staff. Including preventing evictions and appropriate settings. Like sending nursing home residents to homeless shelters. Thousands of nursing home residents are being evicted across the country to homeless shelters and other inappropriate settings because there is a natural incentive for some homes to take more lucrative patients. We will get their perspective. Much of this crisis

Watching your twitter feed it sounds like you are on alert for vying option at month end. You have could be cognizant of the fact that two days before july 4th the holiday are the two probably most strongest days in the entire year. I do think theres still too much froth you can watch nvidia today, there is a love affair with nvidia and the analysts which includes me. That one has to go up.
