Sadly you had actually responded to several of my posts pointing this out --- do you not remember responding to them. Let's provide a link to one of them - https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/desantis-for-the-win.345108/page-100#post-5165813
Right, but none of those sources says anything about NH deaths being at 20% in NY. Or is there some place I didn't see it in those articles?
Yes... it is clearly written in the article in the first link in the post.... it includes a link to the Kaiser information with nursing home death rates from every state. Let's post the start of the article (once again) so it is obvious... Covid-19 brutal on NY long-term care facilities; nationwide, it's worse https://buffalonews.com/business/lo...cle_739b408b-5d34-5b8d-be83-124047368d2b.html Covid-19 has been brutal to the people in New York's nursing homes and adult care facilities. Yet in many other states, nursing home fatalities are swelling the death toll by even greater percentages. In New York, roughly one of every five confirmed or presumed Covid-19 deaths, or 20%, occurred in a nursing home or an adult care facility. Let's post the Florida information once again so it is obvious. More than half of Florida’s coronavirus deaths linked to long-term care facilities https://www.wfla.com/community/heal...s-deaths-linked-to-long-term-care-facilities/ There have been more than 3,000 coronavirus-related deaths in Florida and, according to state data, just over half of those deaths are linked to nursing homes and other long-term care facilities. You have previously responded to posts on this subject -- Do you not remember reading the information.
I see it now. 20 % of the deaths were in NH facilities in New York, but unfortunately the number of deaths is double the amount in Florida at this point. So while the percent may be higher, the number of people died is way higher in NY. I know you're hoping for more deaths in Florida so you may eventually be right on this. Cross your fingers. Another good statistic to look at is the # of deaths per 10,000 NH residents. As Florida has a lot more nursing homes. When you do that, NY is horrid. But admittedly, this isn't as good for Fear Porn advocates like yourself.
So tell me is DeSantis allowing visitors into nursing homes a good step in reducing COVID-19 deaths in the nursing homes in Florida? Florida is expected to exceed the total number of nursing home deaths in a matter of weeks. Is having DeSantis speed it along helpful? DeSantis' plan to allow nursing home visitors is simply another example of a poor policy -- on top of his previous policies to allow employees, state officials and contractors into nursing homes without any screening or temperature checking.
