"Let that sink in: 42% of all COVID-19 deaths are taking place in facilities that house 0.62% of the U.S. population." [nursing home(s)]
Why did our 'nursing home' population suffer a direct hit re: COVID-19 deaths?
NY & NJ GOV [order(s)] [push] COVID-19 positive elderly > nursing home(s)?
USNS Comfort capacity?
Hospital capacity?
What other [D] GOV(s) mandated similar-same order(s)?
Ask yourself a very simple question - was it known [common sense and [early] medical reports] elderly community most at risk?
WHY WOULD [4] [D] GOVS PUSH COVID-19 [COV-2] INFECTED PATIENTS INTO [SAFE] NURSING HOMES?
Ignorance is a choice. |

2.1 million Americans, representing 0.62% of the U.S. population, reside in nursing homes and assisted living facilities. (Nursing homes are residences for seniors needing help with activities of daily living, such as taking a shower or getting dressed, who also require 24/7 medical supervision; assisted living facilities are designed for seniors who need help with activities of daily living, but don’t require full-time on-site medical supervision.)
According to an analysis that Gregg Girvan and I conducted for the Foundation for Research on Equal Opportunity, as of May 22, in the 39 states that currently report such figures, an astounding 43% of all COVID-19 deaths have taken place in nursing homes and assisted living facilities.
(Among states reporting their death totals, 42% of COVID deaths have taken place in long-term care facilities; we estimate the share as 43% for the full U.S. population, based on incorporating the demographics of the non-reporting states.)
Let that sink in: 43% of all COVID-19 deaths are taking place in facilities that house 0.62% of the U.S. population.
And 43% could be an undercount. States like New York exclude from their nursing home death tallies those who die in a hospital, even if they were originally infected in an assisted living facility. Outside of New York, more than half of all deaths from COVID-19 are of residents in long-term care facilities.
