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

    I agree. I don't really think there is much anyone can really do to stop it to be honest. Right or wrong. I think it's best to just go about our lives and get it over with.

    I have been watching California compared to Georgia. They are doing everything opposite. California is proving shut down and mask don't do shit.

    Shutting down and killing the economy is dumb. Social distance. Wear a mask. Wash your hands. Carry on with life.

    If we can keep the hospital load managable it will save countless lives, and not just from COVID.

    All the things you listed are correct. Health care providers are begging us to distance, wear masks, and wash hands/sanitize vigorously!!

    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.

    Agreed. Somehow LTC nurses are passing the virus on to the elderly at LTC facilities but nurses don’t pass on the virus in hospitals.

    Perhaps the elderly are more susceptible to catching it. Immune system is extremely compromised.

    Not sure how you could unless you quarantine the workers with the patients or conduct tests on the workers everyday before the enter.

    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

    The federal goverment is now setting up hospitals for the elderly so they can be kept isolated after they test positive. I believe in Miami.

    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.

    In certain situations in MS, a LTC resident, who tests positive, can be safely isolated, and even treated in the LTC facility, if the facility has the means to do so and it is approved by the MSDH. I know this for a fact.

    Here's the 5 that did it...

    California Gov. Gavin Newsom.
    New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
    New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy.
    Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.
    Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf.

    Illinois didn't... well, I'm unaware if he did.

    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.
