A little more than halfway down under the heading of “ Cases at nursing homes and long-term care facilities”
“Coronavirus cases have been reported in more than 23,000 nursing homes and other long-term care facilities, according to data collected by The New York Times from states, counties, the federal government and facilities themselves. More than 581,000 residents and employees of those homes have been infected, and more than 87,000 have died. That means more than 35 percent of deaths from the virus in the United States have been tied to nursing homes and other long-term care facilities.”
and here too.
87,000
Other news media and blogs are saying “at least” and then adding various lower figures at around 50,000 to 60,000. Some are quoting much higher figures. I put down what I thought was the most reliable with a number.
This was totally unnecessary. I don’t believe that the richest country in the world couldn’t find other ways to accommodate these people.
