Michigan Auditor General Report: Gretchen Whitmer Undercounted COVID Nursing Home Deaths by As Much as 30%

A 2020 study revealed 45% of all US coronavirus deaths occurred in nursing homes.

Only 0.6% of the US population lives in nursing homes but over 45% of the coronavirus deaths were in these centers.

In August 2020 the Trump Department of Justice requested data from four Democrat governors on their orders to send sick COVID-19 patients to nursing homes.

As TGP reported numerous times last year — Five Democrat governors sent COVID-19 patients into nursing homes.

Democrat Governor Gretchen Whitmer in Michigan was one of the governors who sent sick patients to the nursing homes in her state..

But in July 2021 the Biden Department of Justice dropped all of the investigations into the Democrat governors who tossed the sick COVID patients into the nursing homes killing tens of thousands of American seniors.

And now a new auditor general report expected to be released Monday states Michigan and Governor Whitmer may have undercounted nursing home deaths by 30 percent.

Great Lakes News reported:

Hundreds or possibly thousands of people who died from COVID-19 in Michigan nursing homes may not have been counted by the state.

This comes from a new auditor general report expected to be released Monday.

The report states Michigan may have undercounted nursing home deaths by 30 percent.

Deadline Detroit reporter Charlie LeDuff, who sued The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) last May, alleged the state undercounted by 42 percent.

LeDuff claims that puts Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer on par with former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
