“It’s sad that people in their “golden years” have to live like this.”
Totally agree.
where are their families? can’t the families take their elderly home to care for them?
This thing does ravage nursing homes of it gets inside. That is where all the lockdowns should be focused.
How did they let it get that bad!
Very sad. Have to wonder if the inhibitions placed by Governor Murphy on the timely use of hydroxychloroquine had anything to do with the high death rate.
I have a friend who worked in a nursing home, and she said the staff would always come in to work sick. It made her mad because sometimes she would catch it, too.
I’d bet that convalescent homes account for more than 10% of coronavirus deaths. There’s got to be a connection with the health care workers and the infections. Maybe a lot of the workers are Asian And possibly traveled internationally?
336 beds, and operated by the state of New Jersey.
BTW, when the word likely is used in the discussion of the death toll, that’s a red flag.
They are all locked down and confined in one small building. There is no way to get away from the virus.
Most of these homes for the aged employ third worlders
Haiti, Philippines and Dominican Republic nurses, aides and other staff.
Bad personal hygiene, shiite hole neighboorhoods and diseased family and friends make these employees infection vectors.
Elderly residents are sitting ducks.
Sad thing is, if they were allowed to ventilate these types of facilities with FRESH AIR being brought in, there’s a good chance that insufficient virons would accumulate to infect people (or at least not infect so many). But they are NOT permitted to have significant fresh air flow, as that requires more energy, so Greta/Algore don’t permit it.
I’m still waiting to hear that discussed.
