Think long and hard about committing to LTC and other nursing home facilities.
In many places, a huge percentage of deaths are from these facilities.
They take a ton of money but they can't protect their customers. In fact, doesn't it financially benefit some of these businesses if the people in their care die earlier?
Unless the people at these facilities are going out and about, the likelihood is they got infected from staff in most of these cases.
I believe that was the case with the one WA state facility which was the center of their first outbreak. It was in a facility where the people interacted with the staff daily, including very closely, like being helped to shower and such.
It would be interesting to compare the infection and death rates of people of comparable age who were still living in their own homes vs. in these facilities.
