Whitmer's defense has always been she didn't "force" people into nursing homes. But she did say they could take them if they felt "capable" to handle Covid patients. I know someone who was working for a MI nursing home company during the pandemic. They went 1.5 years with ZERO cases, and I asked her how they did it. She said they decided early on NOT to accept Covid patients because they didn't feel able to contain the infection.
When I asked her why other homes were taking in Covid patients knowing what would happen, she told me that they were offered $3,000 per patient, and I believe more money upon death. One of the more notorious homes in Detroit was taking them in, letting them die, and cycling through the next batch - stacking the bodies like cord wood and making big bank $$$.
Whitmer ALLOWED this to go on, and never set any sort of due-diligence criteria for these facilities. So it is not surprising she would cover this up - she aided and abetted murder.
