Michigan’s Democratic governor Gretchen Whitmer — once on the short list to be former Vice President Joe Biden’s running mate in the 2020 Democratic presidential election — is the latest official to come under fire for a policy requiring some nursing homes and other adult care facilities to take COVID-19 patients, many of whom are still suffering with the after-effects of the virual infection and could be contagious.
Thanks to a Detroit lawmaker who blew the whistle on the policy, according to the Detroit News — enacted by Whitmer in an executive order — Michigan Republicans are now investigating whether the governor put elderly Michigan residents at risk of contracting the novel coronavirus, and whether her order perpetuated Michigan’s ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
