Nursing homes and other senior-living facilities in the U.S. have reported at least 15,473 coronavirus cases, according to data collected from 37 states that responded to requests from the Journal, which contacted all 50 health departments.
So just over one person per nursing home?
That seems low/mild!
so, are these deaths counted officially ?
Excluding % of deaths in nursing homes & Seniors housings in recent weeks had been tactic used by a few countries to lower their statistics of Covid19 deaths
This needs to go VIRAL!! Scientists & epidemiologists around the world have been sounding the alarm on social distancing measures. Del interviews top biostatistician, Knut WittKowski PhD, who has a sobering message about the effects of this quarantine.
There have been 19 deaths of people in prisons and almost 2,500 deaths in senior facilities. Maybe we put the old folks in prison and the prisoners in the old folks homes?
EVERY DEATH NEEDS TO BE COUNT ON CHINA
When history looks back on this period in our nation, it will be incredulous. It will be astounded at the monumental incompetence, profound hubris and outright lunacy of Donald Trump. It will wonder why no one rushed in and put Trump either in a straitjacket or handcuffs
Nice fear propaganda photo op. Open the country! We have a working treatment protocol and the numbers are the same as the normal flu.
EVERY DEATH NEEDS TO BE DOCUMNETED TO HELP IN UNDERSTANDING THE OUTBREAK!
Nursing homes should be required to disclose this information. Folks entering for long term or short term (post surgery, stroke rehab, etc) have a right to know.
The Trump-friendly line affirmed Fox News in a 'virtual townhall' with Trump. Trump announced that he would 'reopen' the decommissioned nation at Easter, claiming that no one had seen the pandemic come, even though the US secret service was said to have known about it in November
Hope The Jesus will bless all on Sunday
It’s so sad😒
Because it’s being spread by healthcare workers and healthcare facilities. Probably exacerbated by the panic, because people who don’t have it rush to those facilities, where they ultimately end up contracting it.
1 per facility is a great rate considering its occupants. This is actually great news.
Hahahah. Just the opposite. Stop lying
This is propaganda
Blatantly untrue unless you count those which should not be counted
“The Journal’s figures suggest the virus’s impact in one of the country’s most vulnerable populations is worse than known, despite efforts to protect the residents.” 😰 Our most vulnerable....
Serabbi I feel so bad for the older generation that passed away in these 'homes' . Rest In Peace, all of you who did so much for all of us.
Other major publications have removed paywalls on all of their coronavirus articles. I guess the Wall Street Journal can't afford to do that.🙄 Shame on you for keeping important information from people who can't afford a subscription. CoronavirusPandemic COVIDー19
When are we going to bail out the nursing facilities?
That doesn’t seem to add up either
Thank you WSJ!!!
Nursing home patients being frail have no where to go. Infection probably introduced by staff. Since many are minimum wage jobs, they come from many outside neighborhoods.
State governments?
And yet all non-COVID19 deaths are counted as they are. Those should lower that number.
Except that anyone who dies of anything, barring gunshot to the head, is being classified as a WUHAN VIRUS death.
Oh my gosh, really? That is one helluva sum!
Trump lied about crowd size and now he’s gonna lie about death size.
They report on that and more. What are you trying to do?
They can only go by what is reported to them.

You mean Trump lies? MAGA
