"My first feeling was, how is this possible? I just got a call in the middle of last week that she was negative," said Wright, who lives in Arizona.The nursing home had 11 case the week prior,"their first big run of cases among residents," said Wright, adding that some staff had also tested positive. Wright's mother, who has Alzheimer's, is on the leading edge of worrisome national trend: .
How nursing homes are dealing with coronavirus pandemic 04:10A recent AHCA survey of 463 nursing home providers found that 55% of nursing homes are operating at a loss now, with 72% saying they won't be able to sustain operations another year at the current pace. Respondents say this has been driven by the increase in costs responding to Covid-19, including paying for PPE and testing, as well as staff hero pay and additional staffing.
Nursing home workers raise alarm about lack of supplies 03:41In late July, the Trump administration announced that it was sending an additional $5 billion to nursing homes and state veterans' homes from the Provider Relief to fight coronavirus. That's in addition to the $4.9 billion nursing homes received to offset revenue losses and to respond to the pandemic.
"This is not a unique challenge to one state -- it's obviously all 50 states and the District of Columbia right now have that problem. And so, the challenge is just how do you balance safety and, at the same time, livability," he said.Wright, whose mother is in the Florida nursing home, counts herself among those eager to pay a visit, even if the state doesn't reopen facilities.
Omg stop with ur fake stats
No big surprise. America is too divided to beat this health crisis as one nation. Ironic that we call this country UNITED STATES because it is anything but united.

CNN enjoy your last days, after November you are not going to exist
No one is reporting on the apes and gorillas around the world, is this virus attacking them and are they dying from it. I'm very concerned on their population and their health conditions. I want them to survive in all this. They are human too.
You morons called the covid virus the chinese virus for months yet now all of a sudden it is such a racially charged issue for you. You can't defend it so you want it to go away but thankfully there is endless footage of your mediocre employees doing so, over and over again

Elderly Fall Ill (Describes living people) vs Number Goes Up (Describes lifeless number)
Knock it off, Cuomo
If restrictions to visit have been lifted and staff are freely roaming around the elderly will suffer another wave of deaths. Make sure they have sufficient respiratory systems and enough oxygen for all residents
So, lets NOT do what the beloved CNN favorite Cuomo did and send sick COVID patients into nursing homes. Did Cuomo do that gain? He has to answer for all those deaths, will CNN hold him accountable? I doubt it
Baby world news Fifty-six percent said it wasn't Trump who voted for Joe Biden.

Friends, tap play here and watch how the LORD has been judging nations when fall into sin COVID19 FCBFCB
Go find out what Cuomo is doing.
People need to leave the cities, move back near their families, work from home, pool their resources, and care for their elderly loved ones themselves, whenever possible. It’s fucking awful to leave them in those places anyway. Jail, for the crime of exhausting your usefulness.
Just ignore it, WTF.
DNC killing off more old people, I see.
Three words: HCQ+steroid+Zinc.
Come to where I live and you'd see why. Staff, aids, tenants etc do not wear masks or social distance in a 2 story bldg. Been going on for 6 months. Complaining to owners gets me a lease violation, and they call it senior housing. What a joke!!
