This has nothing to do with "recovered NHs (nursing home) patients"... this has to do with housing COVID patients in NHs.
This ain't "grandma went to the hospital and got sent back to the nursing home" and it was never about that.
Hospitals were over stressed so they sent sick people to nursing homes.

"More than 9,000 recovering coronavirus patients in New York state were released from hospitals into nursing homes early in the pandemic under a controversial directive that was scrapped amid criticism it accelerated outbreaks, according to new records obtained by The Associated Press."
Notice: Not "9000 NH patients sent back from the hospital". 9000 individuals NOT nursing home patients sent to NHs
New York, AGAINST CDC guidelines, forced NHs to house sick people that weren't prepared to handle them - and THOUSANDS of old people died because they then got sick from the influx of COVID patients.
You have some seriously confused notion of what happened in New York (and, I think, similar happened in Texas - I may be wrong on that).
