As COVID-19 hospitalizations and deaths continue to rise, facilities that care for the elderly are being hit especially hard.
In the last week, one out of every four nursing homes or assisted living facilities in New Jersey has reported a COVID outbreak, according to official state data. Among the 615 nursing homes and assisted living facilities in the state, there are currently 158 active outbreaks affecting 534 employees and more than 1,300 residents.

However, New Jersey is far from the only state inflicted with rising COVID counts. Across the United States, COVID-related hospitalizations have risen week over week since mid-July. Last week, hospitalizations rose by 19%, while deaths increased by nearly 18%.

Mask mandates have also started to reemerge at some schools, hospitals and businesses across the U.S. as well.
Despite this, neither health experts nor government officials have signaled that widespread mandates will make a return.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has said that mask requirements are not expected to be needed again, at least not any time soon. Similarly, the Transportation Security Administration recently shot down rumors that they had briefed their managers in preparation of reinstating masking policies; a spokesperson for the administration denied the claims to the Associated Press.
Although it does not appear as though widespread COVID mandates will be making a return any time soon, health experts still recommend that members of vulnerable populations, such as the elderly and immunocompromised, and those who care for them practice caution during this time. Many have suggested that this group mask up in public places and also consider getting the updated COVID boosters when they become available later in the fall.

One KEY word is glaringly missing from this piece.
Hazard a wild guess??? /s
elderly
Gaslighting???
Drop by my house and have a chat with my lovely wife—the critical care RN. Her facility is so full of covid they are placing people in the ER because of the lack of space.
are they still conflating the FROM and WITH deaths?
Nursing homes. At what stage towards death are these people in?
88 year old with stage 4 Covid deaths?
All BS.
Nearly three million Americans die every year.
”COVID” isn’t the problem. It never was.
What has become really sad about America and American health care now is how terrified people are of ending up in a hospital. Some people really have to be there, but since the evil of covid and the evil that hospitals and doctors entered into with covid, is a disgrace.
People go to get better, not to get dumped onto a respirator and given Remdesivir then sentenced to death in order to manipulate the public and enrichen Big Pharma and government.
I know this is true based on a personal experience.
Are these already ill people?
Old people die, always have.
Fat pigs had almost 4 years to stop being fat pigs.
How many of those people are vaccinated?
Nice vaccine.
It is no coincidence that covid is starting again.
Out of nowhere.
FJB
I say you are a lair. I live in the largest retirement community in the world. Covid comes around like every other bug every so often, not a single person has died of covid here. Even back in 2021, people died with covid, not from covid. Meaning any serious cold or flu would have the same result. It’s liars like you that made it possible for the government to use covid to steel our freedoms.
Like last time were Hospitals were empty while staff twiddled their thumbs and the Hospital ship Trump send to NYC saw NO one
That the elderly are boosted to the max and even the CDC admits that boosters increase the chance of infection.
Now they will start sending these poor souls to the hospital with dehydration and weakness, they will be given covid tests that turn out pos, then it’s remdesivir and vents to finish the job. Voila. A “ deadly” pandemic.
Numbers for Ohio.... Not so bad here, although it is rising somewhat..

is that you, Tony Fauci ???
What did you do with the 100s of millions of dollars you lied to get last time ???
Did Joe and Hunter demand too much of the take ???
alert me when the deaths exceed the 80,000 we used to loose a year to the flu that no one noticed or cared about.
Has it been 6 months since they have taken their 4th or 5th jab?
That is when real scientists say the jabbed death cycle will start in earnest!
And how many cases of the flu do they have? How many that have a a muscle cramp are labeled covid, how many with gun shot wounds are covid, any idea?
Well let’s put those 5 DemocRAT governors in charge so we can murder everyone with the Covid BS!!
They’re all vaxed and boosted. Should be easy?
Likely most new COVID cases are vaccinated
