15,600 nursing homes in the United States
1.4 million patients.
The elderly 65+ are most at risk of succumbing to COVID19.
People in close proximity to each other (like a cruise ship or…a rest home) can be all infected quite quickly. (A mental institution in South Korea saw something like 90% infection rate).
We’re totally luzling this in the United States.
About 47 million Americans are 65+.
Those datapoints, to me at least, seem to point to a historic, preventable catastrophe in the making.
