Figures as of midnight September 9-10, PA Department of health.

LTC deaths = 5280
Total deaths = 7820

67.5% of Pennsylvania COVID deaths have occurred in nursing homes.

No other state has such an abysmal percentage.

Thanks for posting. I believe New York is a dismal #2, but are a full 18% or so below what the ghouls in the Wolf Administration have engineered.

Now, let's see if the PA Supremes stand in the way of the legislative veto overrides.

“67.5% of Pennsylvania COVID deaths have occurred in nursing homes.”

I think the percentage may be even higher. Personal anecdote. My 81 yo mother with dementia passed from COVID at the end of April. Her assisted living community packed her off to one of the local hospitals where she was tested, diagnosed with COVID-19 and died within about 12 hours.

I called the administrator to pass along the word and he told me a second female resident — my Mother’s ‘nextdoor neighbor’ also passed from COVID. That’s 2 COVID deaths that I know of for sure from that facility. BUT that facility reported ZERO COVID deaths to the State of Pennsylvania as of July. The only way they could get away with this is if they are shipping symptomatic patients out to the hospital to die. So if enough assisted living communities are playing this game the COVID reported death-toll for nursing facilities should be much higher.
