So why not blame everyone on the chain? Why single out the Governor who was dealing with problems of the entire State?
I swear some of you people don't grasp the scale of things when running large organizations like a State government.
The captain goes down with the ship, why because he is the head of the ship ...
This hospital made many many calls to the governor screaming emergency 36 hours before the first death...
.
It made 4 calls to the highest person in the state, with a hospital right across the street with working air-conditioning.
Again, you don't call the police chief when your house gets robbed.
I would more blame the governor for giving out his # to these people in the first place. It abrogates the chain of command/responsibility and gives people the false impression that they will get the #1 attention of a man who has other things to worry about.
Again I said that he could have called it a state emergency and got 911 over there.. These people were old,frail and probably couldn't walk across the street. Especially in the heat.
Emergency services take things by the severity of the emergency, things get over looked..
This last summer my electricity went out with the 108 temps for 8 hours..they have employees who come right away and assess the immediate danger and then put the outage and a severity level..
The governor said that he would be on top of the emergency services didn't he? And yes he did in that government report link that I gave you.
And yes, I would call the police commissioner if a person was dying, not material things robbed from a home.
.
It was a hospital, they could have gurneyed the people over if they were asked. The administrator could have tried tons of other things to get help.
The whole State was a mess, he was dealing with issues across the whole State. why get a guy trying to run things in the whole State to fix a local issue?
Again, I blame him for giving out his number and giving people the false sense that calling him directly would get things done quicker than trying to get local help. That was his mistake in this situation.
Ok to be fair I found this on the rehabilitation center The owner deserves to be sued actually:... but it doesn't get Scott off the hook because employees were calling him for emergency help..
Timeline...link below
The owner was suppose to have a running generator for his center.
The listed owner of the nursing home, Dr. Jack Michel, has a history of fraud, Department of Justice records show.
