I really wonder if some of the deaths from nursing homes are even being included in this count.
Yes- this is what I’m saying though- if they take temps and you have a fever- COVID-19 or not- then what? Force you to go to a hospital 500 miles away? They have to let people get to a safe place. This isn’t just a coastal hurricane issue. It will apply to all the CA wildfire evacs, etc., too. They better figure it out- I don’t think this’ll be over anytime soon. Jmo.I think they are trying to get though this! But I would think they are going to have to make people where masks, gloves, and take temperatures before going to a shelter. I honestly don't know how we are going live like this until they develop a vaccine.

There are 691 licensed nursing homes in Florida, representing about 84,448 beds — and another 3,080 licensed ALFs, representing about 106,103 beds.https://www.miamiherald.com/news/coronavirus/article241942211.html
This is seriously a "must read" article. And goes beyond anything I ever even imagined. Earlier, in this thread, I noted that we probably would not hear about the CV19 deaths of the ALF and nursing home residents in Florida.
Well, in this article, apparently, not even families are notified by the businesses that there is even an infection present in the facility where their family members are residing. And the governor wanted to ensure that this did not occur, by blocking a lawsuit by the Miami Herald.
Read the article. Totally makes sense to me.
Not keeping the statistics on home/original location seems so foolish to me. We learn from our mistakes as humans. We can track and prep for the next epidemic by learning how we failed. We can improve. I’m baffled by the leadership at all levels that doesn't recognize this fundamental truth. Our businesses, states and our country need to follow the abiding truths we already know.https://www.miamiherald.com/news/coronavirus/article241942211.html

Some of the counties have narrowed the age window 24-97 for example. I wish they all would. If a county has only elderly then we know where they tend to congregate. If we know its middle aged, we know their general location. And if they’re a child, we can pinpoint their source too. This can be a valuable tool. Still not getting why it’s not accurately tracked on this site.19,895 cases
