There are 303 cases of Covid-19 in the 5 nursing homes in my town. There have been 214 deaths in my county in southern NJ.

85% of the 214 Covid deaths (181) in my county have been related to nursing home/long term care facilities.

As of 5/14/2020 every one of the 46 Covid deaths in my town has been nursing home related. This information is from NJ.gov covid dashboard on LTC.

Same type of numbers in our Florida county.

78 total deaths and 50 deaths have been in nursing homes.

I recall that it was 10 days or so ago that Cuomo was talking about 60% of the deaths occurred in homes.

In his warped mind Cuomo would consider ‘nursing homes’ a home.

When the dust settles we will find that somewhere around 70% of the deaths in New York were nursing home patients regardless of where they died.

Your post made me go check the NJ dashboard because I didn't know you could get that data. I'm also in a southern NJ county with similar numbers. My town doesn't publish death stats so not sure how many died here but I do know from the state data that in my county 191 of 262 deaths (73%) were in assisted living locations. And I also know that 90(!) of those 191 were in my town. That's 34% of all deaths in my entire county are from just the assisted living centers in my town. Good lord it's an epidemic here for those particular people.

Full disclosure: I have a brother in a long term care facility, not because he's old but because he's disabled. It's worrisome.
