How did the virus get into these nursing homes? Have they done any contact tracing?

wife has pretty much recovered from her COVID sickness.
2 solid weeks of being sick as a dog. first 3 days, felt like a head cold; then got tested. on day 5 got the results. Then a good solid 5 days with a mild fever. Then, puking for a solid 4 days; nothing coming up, puking on and off day and night. had to go to the ER and get treated for severe dehydration. she couldn't keep anything down, and just kept getting worse hydration wise. couldn't eat anything, so she went damn near a solid week with just some crackers, and a few spoon fulls of soup. major fatigue; probably a good 5 days of sleeping 20 hours a day. she's been a week w/out symptoms and feels a ton better. fatigue is still there a bit, but nothing like it was. I was quarantined for 14 days with her due to work restrictions etc; I had some slight fatigue, but never a fever and any symptoms I had otherswise I treated with Sudafed and Claritin and it did the trick. I didn't get tested since I was going to be quarantined for 14 days. I was sick as a dog last Dec with a respitory infection I'm almost positive was COVID. so maybe I had some resistence to it this time around. who knows. thank god I didn't get it. It put my wife down fora solid 2 weeks. awful. I felt so bad for her. |

I have a staff member who's mom is a high up in nursing home admin.
The issue they have is that there are alot of people in the hospital that are ready to be sent to nursing homes, but they're full and they can't make room due to covid. So alot of it is coming from patients who are ready to leave hospital and then bring it into nursing homes, which is what apparently happened in NY. So they are super careful, but the hospitals don't have space for them so there is a bottle neck. |

My wife has been having congestion, runny nose for the past couple days. Wasn't feeling well yesterday so called our PCP and did virtual visit. She wasn't really having any other symptoms so our DR was hesistant to schedule test but with me being in the job i am she went ahead and scheduled it. Wife feels better today, just some congestion.
She isn't getting tested until tomorrow and we aren't likely to get results for 24-48 hours. Puts me in a weird spot with work. |

No, not really close. They just want to keep it from getting close but they can't.
They're being super picky about who they're admitting into nursing homes and to make it worse, it's pretty much already in the homes and spreading she said. They're having issues. |

Is it perhaps a precautionary measure in anticipation of flu season?

I would think if you had COVID back in December, your wife would have had it then too? You may just fall into the the chunk of population that has no to very mild symptoms. |

If COVID-19 was actually here in December, why didn't see a spike in deaths like we saw in March? Or, did we, and they were listed as influenza deaths?

Yeah, I'm not sure. My dad, brother, and I all got sick as a dog the same time frame last year about a week after thanksgiving. So, I'm not sure if we had it or not, but it was just a brutal time. worst I've felt ever. Maybe it was just a really bad flu. and yeah, at that time my wife didn't get sick either despite being around me, and being at the same Thanksgiving locations etc as well. or, maybe I did have this last go around while she had it and I only had very mild symptoms. So odd. I'm just glad I didn't get as bad as she did. just awful. and she got it despite all the precautions with masks, limiting interaction with others yada yada yada. we wear masks when we go out etc, all that stuff. |
