On May 4th, Louisiana had 1,991 deaths, 738 of which were in nursing homes or long term care centers. Minnesota a whopping 81% of deaths came in nursing homes. I work in nursing homes. I haven't heard much from JBE about what we are going to do to protect nursing homes, except that the poor ladies in there can't get their hair did no more. OPEN IT UP.

They aren’t getting showers either, just wiped down in their room

Numbers dont matter. Facts dont matter. Only feelings matter.
They will not open until you bend the knee and vote for Biden.

Any idea why NY isn't publishing their total nursing home related deaths?

Because Cuomo knows he caused that number to sky rocket.

You would think other states would learn
One of the nurses from the VA home was on Fox News discussing how it spread so fast, staff working multiple halls & moving residents to different halls
Exactly what they are doing in LA
They are also treating patients in the nursing homes
Once symptomatic they are sent to hospital for test, if negative they go back to nursing home
If positive but do not need ICU they are sent back to nursing home
All the nurses treating these patients are staying on that hall but they are not kept from nurses for other halls
Maintenance staff is still covering entire nursing home
JBE isn’t going to put any tight restrictions on his buddies

The longer this drags on the more will die in nursing homes.
Either from stress/depression. Or from getting COVID.
The shorter the duration, the more effectively nursing homes may be isolated.

When did the commercialization of nursing homes take place? Meaning what time frame did people stop dying in their homes and in a facility?

All rational, thinking people understand this. Thanks for sharing. The deaths are tragic, but the fact remains that few people are dying from this that don't already have one foot in the grave.

You know how I know you don’t know what you’re talking about?
Posted on 5/8/20 at 10:23 pm to SnoopyD
Please explain it to me because this is what we were told in our weekly family update

In the long term care setting, the setting where i make my living, this thing is impossible to stop once it’s in. Your got an infection that that is contagious but invisible for 4-11 days, as we have been told. We, along with many of my colleagues and counterparts, have done everything we have been instructed to do. We have been ahead of most of the the guidelines from CDC, CMS, And the LDH. Even though we have done that, infection is still spreading. You couple that with residents who have most every comorbitity that you should avoid, death is a real possibility. That said, you won’t hear about how the majority of our residents have or are recovering.
We have a strong lobby, yes. We have to have that or we would be even further underfunded, but no one wants to listen to that.

I 100% agree that there is no way to keep it out
I’ll also say that the steps that have been taken have kept cases down
The issue isn’t always the virus
Because CNA’s are paid such a criminally low wage they don’t show up to work
This delays meals & delays meds
It means laundry is lost
The activity director & social worker should be spending time with each resident on a rotation
The ones that cannot get out of bed have no human interaction except when meds or a meal is delivered, lately by the activities director or social worker because kitchen staff didn’t show up
These people are going to die not because of a virus but because they gave up due to loneliness
I’m not in the medical profession but staff handing out meals that ARE NOT WEARING GLOVES is insane to me, regardless of if there is a pandemic or not
I’m not a medical professional but stopping visitors & continuing to serve meals in the dining hall makes no sense
Maybe admins aren’t allowed to make their staff wear masks until LDH mandates it but common sense should prevail
Again, I am in no way faulting the nursing home but there are lessons to be learned by everyone
I understand that some feel that they are underfunded but looking at it from a private pay point of view & we feel short changed too

Is everyone who posts here a right wing loon?
Posted on 5/8/20 at 11:30 pm to FlatTownDawgTiger
This guy on Twitter has been posting a lot about this. Plan on bumping this thread a good bit. It's time to open everything up, and there is no reason to not have a normal football season.
