RESERVE, La. — A nursing home for veterans in Louisiana has one of the state's deadliest coronavirus clusters, data shows.

Thom Hartmann laid this all out on a recent show--the most expensive groups--the elderly and infirm--are the most susceptible to the virus--which explains why there aren't any real Federal measures to stop the virus--these are the very people, plus people of color, that the oligarchs want to decimate.

We've got to know exactly who's infected and who isn't -- it's only way to slow the spread now.

4. Not a federal facility

This Veterans Home is owner and operated by the state of LA, from the information in the op.

As such these deaths would fall on the state and not the VA. They have an excess of their own mishandling for which to answer.

A number of states have their own Veterans Homes, as they do state Veterans Cemeteries, not sure if any of their funding comes from the feds.
