Little tidbit of information for you Bass(you seem interested in this figure).

Per official numbers released a few days ago, 35% of all Covid-19 deaths, in the state of Louisiana, are nursing home residents. They actually listed the nursing home names, number of residents, number of positives, number that died and the number of staff positive. It was eye opening and frankly, I wonder why it didn't make a bigger round on the local news. Some homes listed 81 residents and 80 positives...more than one like this.

I also spoke with a new co-worker who still works at one of the nursing homes...she says the number for her place is waaayyyy off...on the low side. I'm wondering if the homes are counting those that died after being transferred to the hospital.

Did you find LA state summary nursing home numbers somewhere? I have been following the Louisiana data in a spreadsheet for 6 weeks or so, including nursing homes and adult residential facilities. So of course this week they changed the format of their data presentation and instead of giving summary totals of nursing home data for the entire state, they put individual facility data in a large PDF file table, which makes it difficult to get into excel (funny how that seems to happen). Which means going forward I'll have to find some way to import a pdf table into Excel, or go through and do it all by hand.

Based on the information from the Arkansas Gov, almost 47% of our cases are either from Correctional Facilities or Nursing homes.

One has 53 residents with 52 positives. I **think** that doesn't include the deaths at that home. I'm tied to it and can almost say that it 100% does NOT include the deaths.

I'm really wondering if it's spread through ventilation -- I mean I know it's not in Walmart/Lowes/etc but people are in and out and not LIVING there.
