Florida nursing homes ask governor for immunity from coronavirus lawsuits

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Florida's largest advocacy group for long-term care providers is requesting protection from lawsuits for health care professionals engaged in responding to the COVID-19 outbreak.

The Florida Health Care Association sent a letter to Gov. Ron DeSantis earlier this month requesting "immunity from any liability, civil or criminal" under certain conditions for nursing homes, hospitals and other facilities.

The group is the most recent in a series of health care associations seeking legal immunity amid the pandemic, when hours are long and staffing and equipment are short.

Brian Lee, executive director of Families For Better Care, a non-profit group advocating for nursing home residents, said the letter was the equivalent of "asking for forgiveness in advance."

Republicans, working hard to kill your grandparents and reduce the surplus population.

1. Too late. You all brought this on yourselves, in not protecting yourselves or your clients.

And now you're asking for immunity? Especially the part about getting immunity for 'criminal' acts? NOOOOO!

2. Ranks up there with fighting having to have

generators. That came to light when many died in the wake of a hurricane that took out the power and residents died from the heat, across the street from a hospital.
