  • Instead, Covid-positive patients were sent directly into veterans' homes in Paramus and Menlo Park, where the virus would spread like wildfire and claim at least 200 veterans' lives.
  • Compounding the problem with the veterans' homes, Senator Vin Gopal, then chairman of the Senate Military and Veterans' Affairs Committee, refused to investigate the state's failings.
