Eight residents at a Connecticut nursing home have died in a COVID-19 outbreak at the facility in less than seven weeks, administrators said.

Sixty-seven residents and 22 staffers at Geer Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in North Canaan have tested positive for the virus since Sept. 30, administrators said in a statement Friday.

“Sadly, we have lost 8 residents with serious underlying health issues to Covid,” the nursing home said. “We are encouraged to see 69 staff and residents already recovered and coming off isolation.”

Ugh! If only there was some kind of “safe and effective”, you know... vaccine or something that they could have taken!

Of the 89 people infected, 87 staffers and residents were fully
vaccinated at the nursing home, which houses only 70 residents,
NECN reported.

So they had a 97.75% vaccination rate.

Eight people have died.

To me the vaccine seems worthless.

In July my sister-in-law and he husband Col. Bob came up and stayed with us for a few days. They both were under the weather coughing, sniffling and complaining of sore throats. But they told us not to worry because despite the part of California they came up from having a spike in cases of the Delta Variant... they were fully vaccinated. They took virtually no precautions to try to help keep us from catching what they had. A couple days after they left we came down with the same crap and self isolated during the time we were symptomatic.

It is practically a police state where we live in Washington State so we didn't go to the doctor or get tested. But I realized last July that the shots were worthless and possibly even exasperating the problem. We know several other fully vaccinated people who came down with the virus.

The scummy left will claim “had most everyone not been vaccinated, the death toll would have been much higher”

There is some crap going aroundmthat is t covid I be,even. We just had it too. Sore throat, sniffling, freezing cold, weak, slight fever, slight diahreah, nausea. But didn’t lose sense of smell or taste. We took iverectin and within a day, hours really, began feeling better. But maybe it was just the normal course of the cold or whatever it was too, so can’t difinitively credit ivermectin with driving it out. But still, we weren’t taking any chances, took it out of precaution.

Sorry about the family exposure. That was really thoughtless,
as if you didn’t already know.

I’m not in favor of the police state tactics. It’s just
wrong.

Thanks for the link.

The count as 70 patients and 87 cases. Staff was counted in
the mix, but I doubt they could have had many more.

The state of Washington has not been faring well recently when it comes to deaths involving COVID. According to the CDC, 75.2% of the state's population age 12 and older is fully vaccinated. For those age 65 or older, the percentage is 90.3%. And what do we currently see? Things appear to have taken a turn for the worse starting this past August 2021.

Specifically, the state of Washington incurred 166 deaths involving COVID in July 2021, a decrease of some 43% compared to the same month a year before (i.e., July 2020, when the state experienced 292 COVID deaths). In August 2021, however, the state of Washington experienced 653 COVID deaths, a 125% increase compared to August 2020 (i.e., when the state incurred 290 COVID deaths).

This trend continued into September 2021. Washington incurred 1,179 COVID deaths this past September, a notable 562% increase over September 2020 (when there were but 178 such deaths).

As for the data for October 2021, there have been 738 deaths reported so far, compared to 248 for October 2020.

The 1,179 COVID deaths in September 2021 represents the highest monthly total for the state of Washington since the pandemic began some 20 months ago, surpassing the 938 deaths the state incurred in December 2020 and the further 787 deaths Washington saw in January 2021. The 738 COVID deaths reported so far for October 2021 puts last month fourth on the list. August 2021 comes in fifth.

If the vaccines work to "prevent death," one might have reasonably expected to see COVID deaths decreasing, compared to this time last year, when no one had been vaccinated. But, for whatever reason, that isn't what the data show.

You make a good observation. The only thing that I would add is that the data in this state is hopelessly skewed and not reliable in any normal sense of the word. One would think that the inconsistency that you have noted would cause them to skew in a different direction, but their only hope for the next election is to keep the panic going.

I should note that the COVID death data I'm citing here is that which is reported to the National Center for Health Statistics and reported out by the CDC. A "death involving COVID" for these purposes is defined as "Deaths with confirmed or presumed COVID-19, coded to ICD–10 code U07.1."

What this entails is that, whatever an individual doctor or hospital in a given state put down on an official death certificate as a deceased's cause of death gets reported to the NCHS. It isn't a call made by either the NCHS or the CDC. The validity of the "cause of death" determination is only as good as the particular doctor or hospital, in a given state, makes it.

Thing is, unless the basis for those cause of death determinations in Washington has changed from 2020 to 2021, such that every doctor and hospital has embraced such a change, we still have the apparent anomaly where COVID deaths have increased (and increased considerably) in Washington starting in August 2021. Otherwise, whatever a "death involving COVID" happened to be in the state of Washington back in 2020 remained a "death involving COVID" in 2021 ... and starting in August 2021, there have been more of them compared to the same time period during the prior year (i.e., pre-vaccine).

And while I certainly appreciate that there are entities out there that want to be keep the fear factor high, I am unaware of any governmental entity (be it the CDC or any state agency) that is willing to assert that the much-touted vaccines no longer work to "prevent death." To the contrary, I haven't see it reported anywhere that COVID deaths are up in the U.S. in 2021, compared to the same time period in 2020. To the contrary, crickets.

I disagree with nothing that you have said. However, immediately after this became a newsworthy item in the State of Washington my brother-in-law who was on hospice care for an inoperable cancerous brain tumor... died. He may have had difficulty breathing in his final few hours. At that time tests were not yet available for anyone other than politicians and celebrities so he was not tested for Covid. But he was declared a “presumptive” Covid case. Why? I have no idea. But we have scores of others in this state who died from gunshot wounds, stabbings, motorcycle and vehicle accidents, falls and other traumatic mechanisms. This was found repeatedly in the period of time before the media became completely complicit in terrorizing the public.

I am glad that you have the luxury of feeling secure that the data is uncorrupted or at least that the collection methods have remained consistent. I personally have no such faith in the system. The media and government agencies will lie for any reason under the sun if they feel it is somehow will get the result that they want.
