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?
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.
