Can you just go away and leave the discussion to the adults?

Shutting down and killing the economy is dumb. Social distance. Wear a mask. Wash your hands. Carry on with life.
Incidentally, John Cohen said in his interview with Hadad today that there was a nine out of ten chance that the football season happens this year...just not sure when exactly it will start. Also, they plan on having at least 25-50% capacity.
50% of our deaths roughly are long term care facilities. We have 140 facilities with cases according to dept of health.
I don't get why we can't get that under control better.
It's not just the nurses in LTC's, but also aides, and other direct contact employees with the LTC residents. The employees get it from the community. I agree, I'm not sure why the hospitals are having less issues. Maybe it's because they do a better job of monitoring of their employees, or perhaps it's the LTC resident's existing health conditions
Some LTC's just do a better job in being proactive than other facilities, and have better methods, and isolating once an employee or resident is found positive. The existing health conditions of the residents play a key role as well. The employees get the virus from the community. So in order to eliminate any possibility of Covid in a LTC, the employees would have to be there 24/7, and not go outside the LTC doors into the community for any reason.
The majority of ltc facilities are run poorly.
The worst decision in all of this has been cuomo (whom I like) and NJ And ILL governors keeping positive ltc patients in ltc's instead of hospitals. I know he was worried about his hospitals being overrun bc he was getting bad info from the media and some medical people, but what a horrible decision. Was basically a death sentence. Sad.
Ahh. Got ya.
So 1, 2, 8, and 11 in death rate. Props to CA, they've managed their numbers pretty well it seems. Lot of heathy people there prob helps (I was there for 2 weeks and saw almost zero fat people).
What sucks is NY and NJ were hit early and handled it the worst of anybody, setting a horrible tone and precedent.
