Yes, they were stable. It’s illegal to transfer unstable patients to a lower level of care. Hospitals risk huge fines for doing that. It was the other residents of the nursing homes who had not yet been infected who died. The mistake wasn’t transferring them back home again- there was no place else to send them. It was not making sure they remained isolated.You can stop playing dumb. Obviously they were not stable Covid patients as most of them died. There were better choices to send them to. One was field hospitals the Trump administration set up and another was a gigantic hospital ship that ended up only being half used. The point is that you do not send patients with a dangerous and contagious virus back to nursing homes to infect other vulnerable seniors. You keep them isolated and under medical care.
So where should they have been sent again, once they are stable?
