Okay. You don't release those patients to a nursing home. Where do you put them and what do you do with all of your new admits?
Moreover, don't we need to establish that this order actually lead to an increase in mortality compared to other options? If one state has a higher percentage of nursing home deaths while expressly forbidding COVID transfers, doesn't that suggest that the edict itself might not be sole cause of the mortality rates? |

I mean you simply cannot socially distance in nursing homes and assisted living establishments. I don't see how it is even possible? And many of the nursing homes I have been in the patients share a room that isn't that big so spreading it has got to be as easy as throwing gas on a flame in those places.

I don't know where you get your information from. USS Comfort saw 179 people over 2 months. They converted a convention center that saw no one. MAYBE, JUST MAYBE........... Use the capacity you clearly never came close to running out of. INSTEAD of sticking sick people back around the most vulnerable to the ****ing virus. |

"That was welcomed by one of the many hospital systems and nursing homes surveyed for AP’s count. Northwell Health said three of its medical centers were so overtaxed at one point they had to put some ICU patients in hallways. To relieve pressure, the company eventually sent more than 1,700 COVID-19 patients to nursing homes. "

I agree but like Hamas said you would run out of bed space. But we were supposed to be setting up all these tents and other places for beds and we were told they weren't needed.
To keep it simple as of 5/16/20 you had about 907k deaths. 686k or 75% of those were people over the age of 65. I wonder how many of those were in a nursing home or assisted living? |

Sorry man but this is the ****ing epitome of Schrodinger's Cat. IF you have no symptoms until you take Covid test and an antibody test you both have the virus and don't have the virus. |

I think it's patriotic and a civic duty to wear a mask if it, in any way, helps with preventing the spread of a disease which has caused a pandemic, Baby Lee.

I don't think it was particularly wise, but again, the hospitals themselves were stressed with critical patients. As to why the Comfort wasn't used, I don't know. It was supposed to be for non-COVID patients, then positive patients were transferred on board. I'm not going to disagree that it was a mess. Their ICUs were so overwhelmed that people that normally would get an isolation room were in hallways. Given that those are the people at the most acute risk in a triage situation, that's a pretty serious lack of resources. Ideally, you would like for every patient to be hospitalized, isolated, and have one-on-one care, but that's not realistic. |

Yes over its entire use before they shut it down for lack of need it saw a total of 1,000 people. Meanwhile it was setup to handle many thousands more. Correct donger.. Goood boy.
No explain why this emergency Hospital was shut down and a US NAVY SHIP which could hold another 1,000 were not used for some of the 4,300 ****ing CoronaVirus seniors that were sent back to there god damn nursing homes. |
