The Kaiser Family Foundation, one of the leading health nonprofits in America, reported late last week that 27 percent of the COVID-19 deaths in the 23 states that report fatalities publicly by location have occurred in nursing homes and long-term facilities.
In six of those states — Delaware, Massachusetts, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Colorado and Utah — the percentage of coronavirus deaths in nursing homes was over 50 percent of total deaths, the foundation reported.
“The individuals that reside in long-term care facilities are among the most vulnerable in the US to this virus, given occupation density of these facilities and residents’ underlying poor health,” Kaiser warned.
The disproportionate death toll in long-term care facilities is shining a painful light both on how poorly prepared these facilities were for a lethal outbreak and how the drastic measures since taken to stem the tide — including a ban on family visits — are creating isolation in the final days of victims’ lives.
“They are no longer getting their emotional and physical support that such visits provide,” Kluge said. “Sometimes residents face the threat of abuse and neglect.”
Dr. Max Arella, a Quebec-based virologist and molecular biologist studying coronavirus for decades, told Just the News that in Canada some nursing homes have had 40% or more of their residents infected.
“From the start everyone was responding as if this were a normal influenza virus and with the aging population and underlying conditions whether it is diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis or cancer patients it is hard to practice social distancing,” he said.

It had been here before anyone new about the coronavirus..
But the CDC never took it into account????
WE need an updated version of the Obama-standing-in-ruins “My work is done here” meme, but this one starring Andrew Cuomo surrounded by the results of his nursing home strategy. Same caption will work.
I heard NY State Nursing Homes have a problem with Corona.
Move the ill to nursing homes and lockdown the rest of the state to protect it’s patients.
Go back a month ago and look at Italian numbers....average age of a dead Italian from the virus was around early 80s. Pretty much the same trend in Germany. From my local town of 285k....10 dead at this point (of which 7 were over the age of 80).
Retweeted by Trump this morning.
Explain the logic of this?

Heard on Fox News this morning:
99% of those hospitalized in NY had at least one existing serious health issue.
88% of those who died from covid-19 had at least TWO existing serious health issues.
There’s a really nasty hidden kicker here. One of the nicest Medicare benefits is up to 60 days of residential rehabilitation care in a nursing home for someone who is recovering from surgery. I used this benefit in 2015 when recovering from colon cancer surgery. Thus, the CCP Virus has effectively blocked many older people who badly need rehabilitation care after serious surgery from getting it.
Dem city triage equals death panels.
Same here except we have three fatalities.
I mean this in all sincerity, if I found myself in a nursing home, I’d be praying for a way out, even corona.
I know a lady who works in one as a nurse, and yeah, from what she tells me once you wind up in her care you are pretty much on your way out the door anyhow.

I’ve been in a few of them to visit. The best of them was nice enough, but oddly depressing, and EXPENSIVE. The worst of them, well, I’d rather eat a bullet.
Cuomo’s fault — when he had a hospital ship for these patients.
Instead he moves to infect the elderly in nursing homes.
He is an unwise jerk!
Gates Foundation loves eugenics.
So I don’t go near a nursing home the Emporer’s New Plague won’t kill me.
They never had to leave the hospitals. Fedzilla changed the regs.
Torrance CA has had about 240 cases. 100 were from two nursing homes that seem to have the same owners.
20-50%...
Boy that sure narrows it down...
