State Audit: Gretchen The Witch Whitmer's Government "Undercounted" Nursing Home Deaths By 30% -- Or Perhaps As Much as 40%

"Undercounted."

Whoops!

Whoopsie!

Say, didn't we just go through this in New York...? Didn't Andrew Cuomo also "undercount" (whoops!) nursing home deaths by right around 40%...?

Is that the number they jointly agreed they could get away with?

Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer's administration undercounted the COVID-19 deaths in the state's long-term care facilities by 30%, according to a state auditor general report reviewed by Fox News.

The report, which is expected to be publicly released on Monday, is likely to renew criticism of the Democratic governor's performance during the pandemic.

Michigan state Rep. Steven Johnson, a Republican, told Fox News Digital in a Thursday phone call that Whitmer is "well known" for her executive order "to place COVID-positive patients into nursing homes."

I'm not being hyperbolic: I think they were all on the same phone call coordinating their response. Cuomo, Whitmer, Murphy, and Wolf.

"And when we were looking into this to see just how deadly that policy was, the nursing home death numbers we received from the department weren't including everything," Johnson said, confirming the number in the report was 30%.

Which is what Cuomo did.

Johnson said there are "some serious questions that have to be asked" about the alleged undercounting and that "it does appear the people of Michigan were misled as to just how many nursing home deaths there were" due to Whitmer's policies.

Which is what Cuomo did.

"Seeing that it's actually 30% higher is quite significant -- we're talking about thousands of lives that were not initially included in the department's count," Johnson continued.

"Thousands of lives" is the same magnitude of the number of deaths that Cuomo covered up. I think something like 15,000.

The Michigan House Oversight Committee chairman also said that the committee "plans to hold hearings on this in the near future."

Unbelievably -- or perhaps inevitably -- Whitmer used the exact same dodge to "undercount" nursing home deaths that Cuomo did.

When a nursing home patient finally got so sick that he finally got sent to the ICU -- and then died -- Cuomo decided that wasn't a nursing home death. That was an "ICU death."

And Whitmer claims the same thing -- once she's gotten you so sick, due to her policy of cramming covid-positive patients in your room with you, that you're finally sent to the ICU with little expectation that you'll ever come back, she says you're no longer a resident of the nursing home.

You're expected to be a resident of A Coffin, and thus not a resident of a nursing home under the law.

Elizabeth Hertel, the director of the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, claimed the auditor general's report was inaccurate due to the analysis not using the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) definition of a long-term facility COVID death.

...

"Residents not expected to return to the long-term care facility are excluded from the count. MDHHS has always required long-term care COVID-19 deaths be reported consistent with this standard set by the federal government," she continued.

She means: People who are not expected to return to the nursing home because they are expected to DIE are removed from the list of "nursing home residents" to lower the numbers of "nursing home deaths."

Which is exactly what Cuomo did.

The.

Exact.

Same.

Numerical.

Fvckery.

Come on, are you telling me they all didn't conspire and share their #DeathHacks together in a conference call?

The number could be higher, however, with some reporters saying the number of undercounted deaths could be north of 40%.

"Three in 10 [bodies] went uncounted, according to the auditor general," journalist Charlie LeDuff told Fox News Digital in a Thursday email. "When added to the state's total, death in Michigan's long-term care facilities are in fact 42% higher than are being reported, which makes Whitmer's Michigan no better than Cuomo's New York."

Whitmer refused to comment.

Bitch should lawyer up.

She's a murderess.
