Simple as that as those are the ones actually dying.
So far we haven't managed to do that very well. Lots of people dying in nursing homes.
I suspect the reason is,those places dont get any fresh air especialy in winter,just keep recirculating stale air full of viruses.
One person gets sick and many others catch it too.
Same thing hapened on those Cruise ships.
All AC ducts are conected,just like in the house heating systems.
one of my friends likes to go on cruise w his wife and he always complains how bad the air is in the cabin,
the air conditioners must have some mold growing in the ducts most likely
"Lots" of people dying in nursing homes is because lots of people in nursing homes are elderly and/or have underlying medical conditions which are exactly this virus' targets. Also, the ones with large death rates are the only ones making the news so it creates observation bias. My question is how many nursing homes are doing just fine with the proper precautions?
I imagine some nursing homes are surviving , but many are not.
In my area 4 nursing homes have big issues. We all have heard of Seattle's nursing home issue. THere are reports of nursing home issues in NJ and a lack of transparency and reporting when it comes to nursing homes
I was initially responding to:
Cummins12V98 post stating"Those with underlying health concerns you know who you and they are. Keep them isolated til this blows over." Which seems simple enough.
However in reality we are having lot of difficulty protecting the most vulnerable in nursing homes.
