We are weeks past the peak of coronavirus hospitalizations, yet the reported national death numbers keep rising 2,000 or more every single day. It made no sense to anyone who has followed the curves in any other country, but now we have our answer. The Hartford Courant reported that 90% of all deaths in Connecticut last week were in senior care facilities. This explains why these increased deaths don’t make sense with the reality of empty hospitals in most places.
This revelation should change everything we know about the current state of affairs with coronavirus. Governors are justifying the continued lockdown by pointing to rising deaths, sometimes significantly, in many states and counties. But it now appears, using simple arithmetic, that in most states, the overwhelming majority of deaths are in nursing homes, and in some states and counties, nearly every new death is in a senior facility. And in fact, even in nursing homes, it appears that while numbers are being recorded now, the actual deaths occurred earlier during the peak. Nothing else matters until this fact comes to life.
80%-90% of new deaths, 50%+ total deaths are in senior care facilities
As I reported yesterday, not only do deaths in nursing homes now compose more than 50% (and in some states as high as 80%) of total deaths from the beginning of the entire epidemic, that percentage is sharply increasing in every state day by day. This means that nearly all the new deaths, depending on the state, are occurring in nursing homes.

Democrats, the media and liberal leftists who blindly follow them do not care.
I don’t give a damn if you have to put your pregnant wife on a donkey in the dead of winter....you ain’t going to vote by mail.
“they” will continue to push this thing until the election, meanwhile the entire country is destroyed. Come election time the Dims will say, “vote for us”, we will rebuild this country. Textbook Democrat. I can’t believe over half the country is falling for this. Why can’t we do something?
Nursing homes, but I’m also wondering about correctional facilities. I bet the latter, through guards and vistors, may also account for some spread in Upstate NY.
But... but... second wave! Catastrophe! Plague! Gahhh!
It looks like around 5% of Americans 65 and older live in “nursing home” environments.
I cannot find it again, but I thought I saw that around 25% of New York’s deaths were in nursing homes.
And, I understand that for some unexplained reason the state and locales were late in reporting the nursing home deaths and did not include the Assisted Living facilities in their survey until very recently.

Looks like around 25%
...more than 2,300 New York nursing home and assisted facility residents have died from Covid-19, with another 2,500-plus presumed to have died from the virus, according to new state Department of Health county-level data. That’s more than five times as many coronavirus deaths reported in all of Washington state...
New York State Deaths 21,045 (as of today)

-I know of no senior facility that uses HCQ as a preventive measure, which it is capable of doing safely. So all this talk of caring for our seniors is just that... talk. It is cheap!
-New cases are reported, but new tests are generally not. More testing = more cases.
-Define “case”. Does that mean antigen positive or antibody positive. An antibody positive is not a “ case”; they are immune.
According to the John Hopkins University Covid-19 Tracking Map, the number of confirmed deaths in my suburban county more than doubled from May 7 to May 8. Nursing homes?
The widespread medical neglect ofthe elderly in America is a scandal.
Stats indicate Mexico takes care of its elderly better than we do.
Outstanding use of history...
Now that statistics are being listed more often about nursing home CV deaths, some states are going back to add the people who died in the hospital but came there from a nursing home to the nursing home statistics. I think that is a valid point because we need to know how many people who were living in nursing homes have died from the coronavirus. People in nursing homes need extra protection.
If it turns out that people who are not living in nursing homes have a very small chance that they will be dying from the coronavirus, then those people should be able to get back to their jobs and lives. People who have underlying health conditions make decisions for themselves about whether they want to stay home or go out. People make decisions like this every day. We all now have something else to consider now that the coronavirus seems that it is here to stay.
I'll call BS on that...which stats?
Just read that and bookmarked it. Will try to find.
But the quality of general family medical care in Mexico is almost always better than here in my experience with multiple family/friend experiences. Many Americans go there for bypasses.
The empathy we have lost has not been lost there.
Nationwide nursing home deaths here per the NYT.
33% which they admit to being an under count.

The libs have no problem with people going to grocery stores, hardware stores and the like, but they think it is too dangerous to stand in line to vote.
It’s too dangerous to their plan to steal the next election.
