He has closed schools, religious services and businesses because each human life is “priceless.”<br /><br />So with known nursing home deaths representing 25 percent of all deaths in the state, it beggars belief that the governor didn’t know anything about his office’s fatal policy.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.spreaker.com/user/9922149/this-nursing-home-disaster-is-on-you-gov" rel="noopener">https://www.spreaker.com/user/9922149/this-nursing-home-disaster-is-on-you-gov</a>
