Republican state legislators in Michigan are calling for an investigation over Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s role in CCP virus-related deaths among nursing home residents.
Whitmer, a Democrat, issued an executive order (pdf) in April 2020 to designate 21 nursing homes as “regional hubs,” which were expected to provide care for both seniors recovering from the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus and those who didn’t have the virus. According to the order, the hubs were chosen based on their capability to house patients who had tested both positive and negative for the virus in properly separated units or buildings.
