Don't give them any ideas
MD is on 5/10 and he said he'll announce on 5/11. Won't be enough time to know the results, we must stay shutdown for 2 more weeks to be sure.

Pride I can tell you that we've had deaths at our nursing home from covid and they weren't in the hospital. I thought we were over the hump but the ADON told me that some who were positive, had meds and were on the right track have regressed and now there are some who were negative but are now showing signs and being retested.
Dude, shhhh. This thread was building nicely till you had to come in and drop some facts.

I think that the most number of cases that can be added to our numbers for the facility is like 8 or so. Then we'll have had a 100% infection rate. That said, we did what I think is all that we could short of having tests available for employees to do a rapid test before starting their shift. ISO unit was set, residents were tested at the first sign of any issue known related to this ... visitors haven't been allowed in since March 11 and our people are beyond depressed despite best efforts of staff. Not sure what else they can do.

I don't doubt old ppl in nursing homes are dieing.
They die from shite all the time.
However, with ventilator use plummeting, it's logical for deaths to as well.
There's also the question did all these ppl die "from" COVID or "with" covid?
What goes on in a nursing home or prison, is not representative of the situation in society as a whole.

LDH found a dead bird in my front yard and added it to the list. I heard they're also counting dogs and cats.

They'll wait and see what region they need to slide those into when it comes time to re-evaluate the emergency order.

Are the stats from LDH for non Covid deaths available?

I think we're at 8 deaths -- I'm working from home and trying to keep up with the numbers.
I know that 1 was African American and the others were white. What I did find interesting is that there were some, while old and had comorbidities, none were "near death" or looking like they were close. Two were "frail looking" but not like close to impending death.
Seriously. And the ones who WERE looking like that that tested positive are still with us.
Also, only 1 of the deaths so far would be classified as Obese. Just my anecdotal story.

The fact is in most states, Louisiana included, 35%-50% of COVID-19 deaths are from Nursing Homes or LTC facilities.

Federal Money > Constituents
He's on his second term. Constituents mean nothing. He has to get as much fed money as possible because between the virus shut down and the oil price plummet, the tax income is a trickle.

^This.
I really wish they'd break it out. Obviously those in facilities where they're being held, either with or against their will, aren't about to get up and mingle with society. Their number should be reported but as a secondary category.

Not letting them see their loved ones has to be making it harder on these people to fight disease.
It's so wrong that the government is stealing peace from people in their dying days.
It's so wrong.

How much higher than typical #s of total deaths are you at?
Anecdotal evidence is still useful.
Thanks for your input!

Ventilator use is plummeting because people are dying on the vents but there aren't many new cases to go on.
For what it's worth, our current deaths per day really aren't out of line with the data.
The median time from onset of symptoms until death is 18 days with a interval of 16-22 days. If you assume that most cases are tested about 3 days after symptom onset, that range is 13-19 days from test to death.
The daily average for deaths the last five days is 48
If you overlay the interval of time to death and look at the case numbers from 4/7 (18 days from 4/26) through 4/17 (13 days from 4/30) the average number of cases was 825.1 per day.
48/825.1 = 5.8% fatality rate
Our overall mortality rate (through known cases) is 6.5%.
Hospitalizations and vent numbers matter.

I don’t get how deaths aren’t affecting hospitalizations and vents more?
